This just happens to be on at the same time that we are driving down to Kent for the show the following weekend. We might have to incorporate it into our holiday plan. Thanks for mentioning it.

no map published on the site yet - http://www.countrymanfairs.co.uk/midland-game-fair

apparently its the largest gundog prize fund in the world!

Will keep looking for a map; failing that suggest we meet by the scurry area in the afternoon?  say 2pm.....let me know if the time works or if you prefer an am meet.....

It's also the last Countryman Fair in the season - usually one or two bargains to be had :D

Thanks Pat for highlighting the thread again - thought it was time I popped in an update.

Looks as though the website won't be publishing a map.  I'm pretty sure it will be a similar layout to previous years:

entrance area leads onto the main arena which has shopping on 3 sides, plus the working dog marquee and craft marquees.
to the right is clay pigeon shooting, horses, smaller show ring and a bit more shopping
to the left is the house, via a gun dog display [area with loud bangs at random times] - main facilities and beer tent etc  :shades:
and in the upper area [other side of the house] is the gun dog area and falconry village plus scurry area for competitions

I'm pretty sure there will be archery somewhere too!

Trade stalls seem to be majoring on wet weather clothing, guns, fishing kit, food, alcohol, crafts, antiques, hearing aids and shopping for dogs [inc Equafleece]   :005:  Last year it took Sally and myself 3 hours just to walk round the shopping area....missing out the fishing ;) but then we did have a serious shoppoing list :lol2:

Where would everyone like to meet?  Is there a better time to meet up?

Hope to see you there,

Jayne

Sounds like lots of COL's and pups will be at the show on Satuday!  way hey! :banana:

Can I suggest that we have a couple of meet times and points?  say 12.30 on the lawn area, outside the beer tent, by the house and 3pm by the scurries?  Unless anyone has a better idea for times/locations?

Hope to see you there,

still no map of the fair so I've emailed the organisers - who are at Doveridge, which if I'd known last week I'd have called in on my way back from clays  >:(

hope to see you there,

Well Andrea seems to spend plenty of money when we have been in the last couple of years. Hoping now that there are no more new wellies, clothes etc on display. I honestly thought that when our lads had grown up that was the end of the designer label, Nike Adidas etc. Now its  Andrea with Aigle, Barbour etc (can't be seen to let the dogs down when she is on a shoot with her appearance  :doh:). We also definately have no more room in the house for dog leads, toys, dummies etc etc.

We're going with our little boy, he'll be 13 weeks old by the and I figure this would be great for socialising him and getting him used t lots of new things.   Beside which I also only live 10 minutes from Weston so it would be rude not to  :005:

From previous experience its been too good a place for serious shopping ;)  Does Andrea have any Beavers of Bolton yet? :005: :005:

It will be a wonderful experience for such a little one - lots of cuddles too!
