Cranfield Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 LB and I found our way there (well I knew where it was, but you are never sure with LB ), it was a good Show and well worth the visit. Paul Hart the nice man was wearing his Pigeon Watch fleece and so LB and I "fleeced" him of a few bargains. There seemed more people there this year than last IMO. Another good ferret court, plus the old bloke with his "pre-retirement closing down sale" of seat covers, was there again. I wonder when his sale ends ? We were there early and left around lunchtime, before the weather deteriorated. Hopefully the rain and wind stays away for the lads going tomorrow.

Suffolk shooter Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Well the weather was reasonably kind today, and after getting in from a party early this morning, forgetting about clocks going forward and a 260 mile round trip, I can say that I had a good day. Met up with Dusk2Dawn to attend to a little business (Cheers Mate, the nets were just what I wanted for a particular hide scenario I have in mind), after taking a bit of a detour through the kent countryside thanks to Bluebell Hill being closed off. Missus and Kids seemed to enjoy the day, had a good chat with Chris Green "The Cornish Countryman" about both pigeon and wildfowling. Brought a new type of Goose callthat I hadn't seen before and brought on a whim. Its a Flambeau, "Squeeze Play" that you can attach to your gun, so keeping both hands on the weapon at all time. Damn realistic to, can't wait until the season to see if it works in the field. Was fairly impressed with the show, good mix of stands with the majority under cover, not too many non shooting/field/country activity stands. Liked the Live Cooking tution stand. Interesting watching the guy joint the venison. All in all a good day, just need to recover the lack of sleep now. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for navigating on that straight road called a motorway. Would have been lost without you A big thanks to Paul Hart for the tickets and allowing me to spend some of my hard earned ££££'s on his stand Buy of the the day, for me, was a hand made dutchie for the making of goat and mutton curries It was nice to meet up with gamesbond and his missus....not a bad attempt at the clays....maybe a new recruit for the essex mafia!!

Cranfield Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Buy of the the day, for me, was a hand made dutchie for the making of goat and mutton curries LB I can confirm that LB was sober, but the singing was a bit much. I can't get the chorus out of my head. "I say Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
