Guest kiya Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 We will be going.. All depends on DEFRA dropping the restriction on bird gatherings Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 You can say that again mate , the last falconry fair I went to was about 5 years ago when it was the last time at Althope, I walked around and Bumped into a few good lads in the club tents for a chat and walked round some more, heard a few stories from Falconers who have Huge big willys and catch more and fly the biggest birds in the country and left thinking its the last time I bother so I never have, I probably saw more disagreements that day from guys suffering from "Big Willy Syndrome" than I have anywhere else, The other problem is they tend to have Faclonry fairs smack bang in the middle of the breeding season, mind you this one looks to have a later date. I prefer to go out Hawking with a few lads for some good company and the crack and celebrate Falconry later in the evening , don't get me wrong I have had some good laughs in the past at Fairs but if you're not their to buy equipment or see displays then there not much to do compared to the Gamefairs....
