boycott these game fairs

[zigzag dan 784]

When are these gamefair promoters going to realise that people are now keeping away from these events . Silly gate prices , to walk around a glorified car boot , extortionate food prices , and as for lurcher and terrier owners , we have to pay in , then pay again to show or race your dog , and this is part of the show for non dog owners to watch !!! .Then , certain show organisers refuse to even have a docked terrier near the ring , which seems to me to say , working dogs , do we really want them ? Ive nothing against people wanting to show their dogs but lets give the small hunt shows our money , not some promoter to buy his next Range Rover .

lets just say there should be a fair few workers at my show,the earth variety.just how a working terrier show should be BUT,at the end of the day,the judges decision is final

[Leeview 787]

OK the LAW states that docked dogs cannot be shown if there is admission fee charged to get in the show this applies to all shows KC as well.This then lets working dogs be docked and therefore they cannot be shown as they are supposedly bred for work not showing

i emailed the basc last year and had a moan about the gate prices.they did get back to me and said they got to charge the £9 entrance fee to cover their costs.they must have some high cost charging that price and the thousands of people that go they must be making thousands.and all for someone to have a new 4x4.iused to love going to the game fairs but it has just got to expensive for me.if everyone would boycott them they would have to do something but they won't,f**king rip off.

And if you want to support a small show, started purely as a result of me and three friends wanting to do something to support countryside activities after the Hunting Ban, come to Woodham Ferrers & Bicknacre (Essex) on the 17th July! All proceeds to charity.

Sorry to use this as a plug for our show, but I have to agree - £40+ for a family just to walk through the gate is ridiculous - especially as if you've been to one, you've been to them all! The small ones, wherever they are in the country, are always, in my (fairly limited) experience, the best!

Cheers
