Wales Welsh Game Fair

[samsung 6]

Very disappointing . We have been going to the Game Fair for over 20 + yrs , We went to the new venue Pembrey last year and although we enjoyed the day the traffic jam to get out was ridiculous!! so after adding to the comments on their facebook page about our experiences and then again this years FB page we were told that last years way out had been reviewed and changed so on that remark we decide to go . We sat by the ring and watched the judging in ring 3 which I was shocked to see that the judge hardly looked at the dogs , There was no paving slabs for the dogs to stand on for the judge to go over , and the actually method of moving the dog to watch its movement was pathetic , he only had them walking towards him from the side of the ring went over them and then sent them half way to the other corner away from him and he didn't even watch them to the end he looked like he couldn't be bothered . He should have at least stood to one side and watched them do a triangle or from corner to corner .it was the worse style and method of judging I have seen .

We decided to leave at 3.30 because the stalls are not as plentiful as they used to be and it wasn't long before you had done them all , It was a fair walk back to our car and then we had to join the queue to get out , and it was exactly the same as last year we had to snake out way right back down to where the train is and then bumper to bumper to the main gates which we reached at 5 minutes to 5pm so from the time we left the show it was over and hour stuck in the car to get out , When we got to the hump back bridge we could see this is where the problem lies due to the stop/.go guy controlling the traffic this is what is the major cause of the problems to get out onto the main road I cant see a way around this situation tbh as the stop go is there for safety reasons as the bridge is too narrow and blind for 2 way traffic . which brings you to the question is this the right place to hold this show when it cant really cope with the numbers of people and cars attending ?

That's shocking about the judging, please tell me you have video evidence!

I would just leave much earlier or later to avoid the traffic, the same thing happens at most horse racing events as 2,000+ people drive away at the same time and cause chaos.

Agree with traffic situation sat for 1hr only to watch cars trying to get ahead by q jumping poor exit methods and organisation of traffic ?????????????

[raynardman 518]

All exits from the park lead to 1 road governed by a lollipop man so this situation will never get any better.

The show should be held at builth wells show field common sense its in the hart of wales which will attract more people and it comes with many gate exits if the organisers of this show ain't carefull the show will obviously end in prob 5 years max

I think when its not cheap to get in and you have to sit in the car for over an hour going bumper to bumper just to get out .Then we are all entitled to complain because only by bringing it to the attention of people and hopefully the organisers will pick up on it it will help to improve things for further shows over the years , because no one wants to see this show go down hill .
