fatjoe Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 went to the midland game fair today(first time) and can honestly say what a great day it turned out to be everything was set out well and although a lot of products were quite expensive there where still some bargains to be had you just have to search for them, picked up a nice semi auto falconetti for my lad £150 (good knock about starter gun) you guys going tomorrow beware we got to junction 12 of the m6 at 8.15 this morning then sat in traffic all the way to weston park( 7 miles ) which took over 40 minutes so i wouldn't advise getting there any later than 8.00-8.30 in the morning and dont forget the sun cream/hat as the top of my head is on fire good luck with the bargain hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger.22cal Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 how much was it to get in ???:look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonevo Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Joe you should have gone the A41 It was clear run all the way thru,the only traffic I met was just outside the gates,only because the stewards were waving on the traffic on the otherside, @ Badger.22 the cost of getting in was £17 Great day out today,well organised, loads of stuff to buy,but just could not afford all the stuff I would have liked . The falconry arena was a laugh, the guy lost his Gyr Falcon,and it wouldnt come back ...bit comical,it came out the sky,from nowhere like a missile, while they were doing another display. I'm still not too sure he got it. I must say though, I was speaking to Mark Bell,who has a pitch,near to the arena ,about ferreting,nice bloke and some great bargains,ferret boxes well made and quite cheap well worth a look if you need any ferreting stuff. nearly bought myself a kelly kettle £58 but reckon I can get them cheaper online what Bargains did anyone get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomV Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Went on sat, thought it was the best show I've been to this year (6 in total)! Picked up a few bargains Will be going next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4X Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 We went down on Friday and camped for the weekend. Did not manage to see everything we wanted! There were bargins to be had, but the wallet and the lack of room at home would not allow me to get them all! For me the real highlight of the show was entering our two 1 year old bitches, which my wife has been training in two of the gundog scurries, they were brilliant! We could not have asked for more from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not seen so many before. Bought some nice looking Deeks, got them home out the box and gave them some water and a bit of feed. with a bit of luck if the farmers not ploughed i'll be out Fri / Sat to give them a bit of fresh air and see how they compare A good day had.really enjoyed it. Even better for saving £65 by not camping. Edited September 21, 2009 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
