Hob&Jill 258 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Anyone going? I went last year and thought it was ok but nothing special. Does anyone know if there will be many people there selling purse nets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
comanche 3,298 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Anyone going? I went last year and thought it was ok but nothing special. Does anyone know if there will be many people there selling purse nets? I'll be going .What do you reckon is best Saturday or Sunday?.Never been to the main show but simply because by sheer chance I actually for the first time in years had an urge to buy the CMW because my local garage started stocking it. Mind you I think it is a repeat of one I read about twelve years ago with the juicy bits taken out I did score a couple of their free tickets though so it was'nt 2 quid wasted.Bring back Steve on Stuffing.

ghostlyease 17 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 A few of the ACES group are going, racing our dogs with the coursing crew Sat last thing. No idea about the purse nets sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyla 3,179 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 i think we will be there on the sunday. Should be a good day out i hope, although its bound to rain! im looking for someone local with experienced lurchers to help me bring on our two so if anyones going that might be willing to help it would be a good neutral place to meet up? Just to make it clear, im late twenties with plenty of permission and been shooting etc all my life so im not on the scrounge just after some good advice and a good example for the dogs to follow Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Keeley, sorry i missed it on the 7th. How did it go? Will you be at Parham on Sunday too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghostlyease 17 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hey there Paul, We wont be there Sunday im afraid, the original plan was to camp but the cost ran into a bit more than our usual Lurcher World events. Still we are running last thing on Saturday so it gives us all a chance to go round and do the stalls. Shame you missed the ACES day, Tyla would have done well over the longer distance, we had a few non Staffords for a change June ACES day Our permissions have just been hugely extended, around where we normally go, I will let you know when we are out that way again, although it may be some time for me as I have a co2 cartridge stuck in my Ratcatcher at the mo so till I get that sorted im a bit grounded and the boys wont have me along just for the conversation :11: Might be good for me to put you in direct contact with Ady as he is just around the corner and shoots much more frequently than I do.

ghostlyease 17 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Shame you didnt enjoy it, what was it that you felt let down by, have to say we had a great time but we went for the running, coursing and long jump, the cold cider was just a bonus. Got some video of some of the Stafford races uploading at the mo, will add later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghostlyease 17 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Took forever to upload the videos as they have to be done one at a time............ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 That looks good, Where abouts were you? I didnt see anything like that on the day. Just the whole thing was smaller than last year, rip off prices and £11 to get in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just the whole thing was smaller than last year, rip off prices and £11 to get in. Sorry must have missed this post, the racing was over to one side, the opposite side to the shooting, the straight running was actually where the shooting was last year, there was a car park in-between for terriers and lurchers, the coursing was through the gate towards the house. What a shame you missed that bit, it was put over the tannoy quite a bit. Only £1 a go too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday wasnt that busy, nicely busy id say, we didnt get there till after 10 so the show had already been open for quite some time. It is a bit pricey this one, the reason we couldnt camp as we had planned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
