Guest david1976 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Event was a load of old bollox i've got more of a game fair in my garage! Saw 2 clothing stands manned by pykies which sold goods that would have looked sh1t at the barras, A couple of fishing stalls selling cheap naff rods and fly tying stuff and a clay area which consisted of a very long walk to get to one trap. The only decent thing i saw all day was the birds of prey stalls and that did not justify the £8 entrance fee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was really disapointed with this, on the webpage, it looked like it would be really good and indeed it could have been a really good event if they got the right kind of trade stands and exhibitors rather than the cheap tat ones they got. I hope if they have another next year they will do a bit more research before going ahead with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
