A Christmas Present from the Great Game Fairs of Ireland

[AlbertJ 569]

In 2011 we tried to give everyone a 'good deal' in terms of real value for money. We not only either maintained or increased the prize funds for our sporting competitions but we also sponsored a fantastic array of prizes at other events. I think it is fair to say that no one who approached us for sponsorship was refused.

 

In terms of admission price to the fairs we gave a 'two for one' offer with everyone who purchased a ticket for the Ballywalter Game Fair got a Free ticket for the Irish Game Fair at Shanes Castle and we came up with some last minute discounts for Birr. We also made the Irish Countrysports and Country Life magazine available FREE to Read online at www.countrysportsandcountrylife.com

 

We gave our hard pressed exhibitors a 'loyalty ' package with a discount if they exhibited at more than one event and/or took advertising in the magazine and we helped them out further by negotiating special ferry and accommodation rates.

 

And due to the support we had from exhibitors, advertisers and the sporting public we are delighted to say that in spite of the recession we had record crowds at all three events and our magazine achieved record readership levels. And we even managed to finish the year with a small profit!

 

Looking forward to 2012

 

We have put together a superb exhibitor/advertising and sponsorship package for the trade and interest has been high. We expect to have more exhibitors and a better prize fund at all three show.

 

We thought we should also offer the sporting public something to look forward to and have please in advising you that when you purchase a ticket at the gate at Ballywalter : You will receive a voucher for half price admission to the Shanes Castle and Birr Castle Fairs.

 

And for those who want to treat themselves or a friend for Christmas we offer a very special CHRISTMAS offer which ends on the 2nd January ;

 

For those purchasing an annual subscription to the Irish Countrysports and Country Life magazine for £15/€20. You will receive a FREE Ticket ( value £10) to the Ballywalter Game Fair ( 5th & 6th May 2012) AND EITHER a Ticket ( Value £10) to the Shanes Castle Fair ( 7th & 8th July 2012) OR the Birr Castle Fair ( 25th & 26th August 2012) value €15.
