The one 8,395 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Good luck to them if they got the time to trawl round a game fair and need to pay £15 entry fee to pick up a rossy worth a pound better going to a show that there mate judges they get best in show and they return the favour next week Or you get the usual its the summer time the dogs need to kept fit and its something to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyg 1,862 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Full realtree all over camo and sweating.... good luck to em. I don't bother anymore, I can buy towels, tupaware and glass cleaner without the £15 surcharge! Not a fan of seeing bull crosses dragged around in the heat that were clearly out last night and very raw just for the sake of it either! Matt 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,622 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Frankly a hunt kennel open day and show is more enjoyable than game fairs these days! These 'game fairs' are nothing more than giant carboot sales with the odd fieldsports demonstration. It should really be wall to wall country but they aren't and perhaps that doesn't pay the bills. Last few I've been to I've been round everything of interest twice in a couple hours. They just aren't worth the expense or time anymore. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think people will have to start accepting something on a smaller scale & more specific. Bigger & better??, plus trying to cater for everyone has probably been the undoing of these events & it leads to a higher gate fee? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
