Highlander Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Visited the CLA Game Fair Friday, Paul Hart (good man and thank you Paul ) had sent some tickets not only so I could go and take full advantage of his generous PW member discounts but always just such a good welcome. What an event, huge and crowds of people all spending loads and loads of dosh (and they say there’s a recession on). BASC stand was good (take note all those BASC detractors, it was the best of all the shooting organisations, those who were there, by far) with some useful demos, Mike Robinson (Heavens Kitchen chef) skinned and butchered a Roe Buck which gave me some useful tips , been doing it since I was knee high but always a few new ‘tricks of the trade’ to learn. Chris Green, that comic little man (and I mean no disrespect to him for that but his constant disorganisation does remind me of Norman Wisdom!) was doing his bit which again always gives one a few extra tips and whilst some may knock him, his heart’s in the right place. Spent a small fortune on his decoys (again) which I reckon are the best in the business. Saw some old friends, made a few new ones, ate way too much of all the great food on offer (and I don’t mean the fast food junk at the catering stands) spent all the housekeeping for the next 6 months (so we’ll be livin’ off the land for a while) and then had the problem of getting it all off site. Thanks again to PH who generously leant his car for the delivery to the car park. So much to see, do and spend on that one day just isn’t enough (well not for me but Mrs H would probably kick at a longer visit). Bad part is we left home at 04.30 took 2 hours to get there (which is damn good going from our part of the world) then sat in the traffic for 1 hour 20 minutes to get in the car park! And that at 06.30 in the morning so god knows what it was like for those who came later. Arrived home at midnight and went spark out by 12.01! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Harry Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 My wife got free tickets through her work for me and her. She spent last night being sick as did my 4 year old and I feel ****e. I was gutted as I really wanted to go but think I would have been shot if I had gone on my own leaving her with the kids Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
