Cobblerjohn 18 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I've been reading all the bad things about this Fair on the pinned topic and it sounds terrible. However I've just been on thier website and they say all the problems have been sorted. Did anybody go last year? As I've never been I don't fancy driving all the way there, paying etc and find the views on here are nearer to the mark. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tegater 789 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 If you are a shooting, fishing, ferreting kinda fella, then its the biz, a real good day out, I think some of the complaints were because the T and L were someway away from the main centre of events, which was a little annoying, as even myself who doesnt have a lurcher, found myself being dragged away from it because of that.

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 It is sh!t the way they shove the terrier's and Lurcher's up in the corner out of sight of everyone, and you will spend some money unless you're a tight c*nt that worries about every penny. But it's a good day out IMO and worth a visit, especially if you haven't been before. I picked up some decent deals on frontline and other bits and bobs the last time I went there.
