The 'Welsh'

We had some great times at the Welsh in the 90's. The highlight for us was the International Terrier Matches that Dave used to organise.

That one in '94 I was stood at the bar talking with Lyn Harber, the next second a Lad who was fighting comes flying backwards at us, knocking into Lyn. Lyn, who isn't the biggest of blokes, steadies himself, turns to me, and cool as a cucumber says "excuse me Paul" and marches over to a crowd of about 15 blokes going at it, and dives right in the middle of em, fists flying..!!

The tables were long boards on benches, and they were full of pints. One of the Scouse lads decided he needed a better view, and jumps up onto the end of the table. The table just tipped, flinging about 30 pints into the air, which landed all over everyone, and it kicked off even more..!!

Met some great people in the game there too. The camping, the pubs and the sing-songs made them so memorable

Hard as nails those Gwent Valleys boys

I only went once but what a great fair and as said plenty of characters, I was there the year there was a Boerbel in the back of a truck and every time some one went near it it just exploded and sent the truck bouncing about it was like a lion in the back some will remember.

Definitely the best Game fair I’ve visited.

Also same weekend I stayed in the Red Dragon Hotel in Swansea and I met Howard Marks the infamous international Cannabis smuggler lol.

I remember that Boerbel in the back of the truck, and the truck rocking when it went off (frequently). Scary critter for sure.

Spoke to the lads that had it. From the South Coast (Hampshire?) If I remember right.

I new someone would remember it, good few years back that was it’s mad to think I’ve probably walked past a lot of people on here without even realising it.
