Weston Park
Anyone thinking of going and fancy to meet?
-
Sounds interesting! :)
Could be tempted
-
We will be on the Saturday as off on hols on the Sunday.
-
I have tickets already and plan to go on the Saturday!
-
Its a plan then also got our tickets. Willspeak closer to the date
-
Great! As soon as they publish the layout I'll get in touch although it makes sense to aim for the scurry area?
-
I assume doggies are allowed? Quite fancy this will chat to OH ;)
-
I really want to go too but need to sort out which day will be best. I'll see what others are doing too. :D

Definitely! Last year Pearl was just 5 months old and had a fabulous time with all the attention she got :D There is normally an area with show dogs; mostly working breeds but also some rare breeds...... :luv: plus the scurry area for the working dogs.
It can be quite loud in areas [clay pigeon shooting and some of the displays have "big bangs"] it was brilliant for socialising Pearl, not only in crowds but bonfire night just wasn't an issue and since then we've been up to Doveridge a number of times and she doesn't seem to notice the guns :D
Oh! and the shopping is pretty good too....dog coats, leads, fleeces, grooming kit you name it :005:
Hope to see you there,
Jx
-
I did mention it to my father and he quite fancies it, Ive yet to mention it to my OH :005:
-
Will be great to meet you and Willow - hopefully there will be a few of us to meet and put faces to usernames :D
-
It looks like we will be coming, on the saturday I think ;)
-
I am going to get my ticket for the Saturday then too! ;) Pearly mentioning the shopping just about swung it for me :005:
-
I will be there too, really looking forward to it this year
-
Yes I will go.
Pat
-
Oooh this is the weekend of my birthday.
I'd like to go, will suggest it tonight!
-
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 (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
-
Would love to have come along but already got commitments, though if these change
-
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
-
No doubt we will be down by the scurries causing chaos again.
-
We will deffo be there and are keen to meet up ;)
-
Ill be there the flyball team im with are doing a demo both days :lol2:
-
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,
Jx
-
That sounds fab pearly. I will make a note of the times and locations nearer the time ;)
-
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,
Jayne

Going along too Jayne, so may get to see you there :D
Looking forwards to the chaos at The Scurry to Steve....would be great to put a face to the name & meet your gang :shades: :luv:

sounds like we may need a 2 day ticket then :005:
After being utterly disappointed by gundog supplies at Crufts & at The New Forest show, I'm really hoping this will the place for some serious shopping .

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!
-
Countryman Fairs have confirmed that the layout this year is exactly the same as last year - which should make it easier for everyone!
-
Brilliant now I know what areas to avoid :lol:
-

:005: being the wrong side of the watershed, are further details restricted? :lol2:
SteveB ....I was thinking more along the lines of training equipment for The Bear but not sure if I'm taking 'Will Power' with me, so personal shopping might just happen too :blink:
-

Would just like to say thank you. Andrea went on that site last night and has just ordered a Barbour Calgary jacket (how many jackets can one woman wear). Had the usual its my birthday in 3 weeks, it was in the clearance (a whole £30 off), only one left and it happens to be in my size (it must be a sign). One consolation was they did not have the gloves she wanted in her size. Why could it not of been the other way round (but dont fret Andrea has informed me that there are plenty of stalls for her to find a pair next week. Oh joy).

Oh! I know that site well......last year it was a 3/4 length tweed coat - they do have some very good bargains though ;) glad to be of assistance to Andrea :D think I may keep a low profile on the day ph34r

This is on my door step and did not know it was on will check if i am free

It's nothing exciting I'm afraid....just a good old fashioned British Mill and Clothing manufacturer :D I saw their coats at the show last year, came home and contacted them direct about sizes and length [I'm not very tall!] and they offered to make a coat for me, for no extra cost..... I call it my inheritance piece and my two cousins are still in-fighting over who gets it!! [green tartan with pink and aqua stripes and a pink lining :005:]
-
Bought our tickets today. Rob, myself and Ali our daughter are coming so we will see you there at some point.
-
I'm aiming to go on the Saturday as most of the other game fairs I'd planned to go to this year were cancelled so really I've saved a fortune so far :005: I just need to find someone to look after Tilly as she's not really up to walking around all day any more.

this just gets better and better - would be lovely to meet you Nicola [and your dogs - hope you find a Tilly sitter for the day] Sarah - will PM you!
Not sure if this thread is really in the right place? should it be in meet-up? or shopping ;)
-
I think samsalin are there with their dog creche, so any dogs not up to walking round all day can safely be left with Caz, Steve and their staff

what date are you going to the kent show Kelly (7733lily) and i (pudding) will be there on the Saturday 22nd sep
would be nice to meet up
-
So have we decided who are definates and where we are meeting.
Both our hoodlums are definates on Saturday

*how about the scurry Steve? ...no pressure on you & Andrea or anything :005:
(That's not a serious suggestion BTW ;) ..will wait for someone who knows the venue to come up with something better (...... Jayne! :lol2: :luv: )

Think these were the suggested locations/times.
-
Well see you all there then
-
I am working on the OH to take us to this one as Belvoir got cancelled - I have been stressing the Fishing & Shooting - rather than the dog accessories tho! LOL And.... as it was my birthday yesterday and I ended up at Wembley for the England V Ukraine Football at Wembley - I figure he owes me!
Trouble is we are at the Goodwood Revival on Friday - so it will be an expensive weekend!
If we come we will probably bring the motorhome and the doglets - so I'll keep watching for meet-ups etc and give you all due warning if the 3 terrors are going to be attending!

Sorry to be missing this event but I have the pleasure of running the Great North Run on Sunday instead. Hope you all have a fab time and enjoy the scurries, my two love them
-
Hi sorry for the late reply this evening...
Just to confirm the suggested meet times and locations:
- 12.30 on the lawn area, outside the beer tent, by the house - on the main arena side of the house, with this many COLs and dogs we may spill over onto the dirve :005:
- 3pm by the scurry area,
which is in the top field by the Falconry [or it was last year!] which is by the entrance gate also about as far from the shopping as you can get ;)
Thanks SteveB for reminding me of the layout - too much red wine sampling for another thread on COL to blame ;)
I appreciate these are the times and locations I've put forward but I guess at somepoint [as SteveB has suggested] we should firm up arrangements so we all know where/when etc...I have tried to consider those travelling big distances to get here and anyone wanting to head off early!
The gates open at 8.30 am and close at 7pm - if anyone would like a later meet can I suggest the coffee area at the entrance gate, by the main arena, at 5pm, might be a good place for a last catch up before heading home :D
Hope everyone has safe journeys to the event - good luck if you are competing in the morning!
See you on Saturday,
Sorry to be missing this event but I have the pelasure of running the Great North Run on Sunday instead. Hope you all have a fab time and enjoy the scurries, my two love them
Hope your run goes well,
Jayne

Hi yes, planning to be at both but will have to leave before the 5pm meet as I'm driving to Devon the same day! Will PM you with my contact details....
See you there!

And little willow I hope :luv:
-
oooh! I do hope so, Willow deserves such a big love :bigarmhug:
-
Make sure you all watch the flyball demo! Ill be the one with the 2 black spaniels :lol2: im sure they both will show me up :005:
-
definitely! what time are you on - do you know yet?
how exciting :D
-
Not sure - its normally around 11 and then another at 3. Think were in the main arena :D Just watch out for a mad spaniel (springer x cocker) doing zoomies round the arena and that will be mine :embarassed: or the gorgeous black working cocker :luv:
-
oh no! we've arranged a "meet" at 3pm up by the scurries :doh:
Will watch at 11 though - good luck :D
-
Isn't the scurrys at the side of the main ring? Not been to this one before did the kelmarsh one though! I'm sure I'll be dragged round by mine all day with my flyball top on so say hello :)
-
There's a demo area to the side of the main arena - between the working dog pavillion and the beer tent ;) but in previous years the main scurry area for competition has been on the top field, past the main house and at the far side of the arena where they display falconry etc... there are usually 3-4 scurries [is that the right plural??] for the different classses as there are so many competitors!
'tis rather a big Game Fair, much bigger than Chatsworth or Tatton which are the only other two I've been too!
Will look out for you on Saturday,
J

Last year if I remember correctly (its an age thing) there were 7 scurries a working test and the Mitsubushi final. The Rockwood display team is also there which our friend is in with her Munsterlander. Andrea used to be part of the team with our GSD but Cockers have some how taken over all our time.

I'm sure you are right - I started typing half a dozen but wasn't sure so played it safe ;)
so...."3pm by the scurry area" - any thoughts on a more precise location given the size of the area?
J
-
again with my memory it was a long corridor as the scurries were either side and a car park at the bottom of it. The Mitsubushi was being held in an arena in the middle of the dog village alongside a food area. The corridor is only narrow so we will no doubt see each other there. It will be easy to find me I will be the one holding either Tia doing a kangaroo impression or Lulu going demented every time the launcher goes off. Dont know what it is with our two soon as they see and hear scurries they change from calm obedient butter would not melt in their mouths to demented fools
-
Steve, thank you so much! I've been happily directing everyone to the top field by the Falconry.....Oops! that would be from 3 years ago then ph34r
Good place to meet for 3pm is by the scurries.....guess we'll spot a lot of cockers starting to gather :005:
-
Yes Wilsy woo is coming too ;) She would love cuddles from fellow col'er :005:
Thanks for the PM Pearly. We will deffo be at the 12.30 meet and will let you know from there. Are most people meeting at that slot, we dont want to miss any of you?
-
will put in an appearance at 12.30 if okay. will be without gemma though as she has the " frilly splots" ( in season)
-
I will be heading down on Saturday with Sydney and Muswell, looking for a new to me (2nd hand) under and over. Think I will take them round one at a time as the two together will be mental if Syd's first outing on the lead is anything to go by.

I will keep an eye out for you Steve, will you be the one in a twist with two cockers most of the day :005:
Smokey
-
Oh smokey will you be joining us at the 12.30 meet up? Really trying to talk my OH into getting another doggy and a choccie boy would be my first choice, you being there with Sydney might just swing it for me ;)
-
This just gets better & better :happydance:
will be cockerless here, so absolutely imperative we seek out you COLers with ur fur babies in tow - I'll be feeling withdrawal symptoms by lunch time & might need a snuggle or two from your cockers :005: :luv:
-
Beer tent at lunchtime for cocker cuddles - sounds like a perfect plan!

The thread was started with purely selfish thought in mind - that it would be great to meet some of the "names" on here and your dogs......I have a lot of thank you's to say....plus could really do with some Muswell magic rubbing off on Pearly......I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!
What I'm really trying to say is that I didn't expect the size of the response to my first note but I'm thrilled so many people are coming to the Game Fair!
See you there!
Safe journeys,
Jx
-
Thought I'd better pop along this evening and check the layout really is as SteveB remembers [rather than my memory ;)] and it is.....but it's hoooge! Far bigger than last year - the gates are normally half a field from the main car park, this evening they are right on the edge!!
And yes, the scurry area is directly behind the entrance gate - suggest the meet takes place more towards the top end of the scurries at the point it becomes the main arena area as the corridor may be a little narrow! [3pm]
Weather forecast looks good, so far, mostly sunny high 18' low 11' :D
The really important information is that the beer tent [one of many I'm told] is by the House :shades:
Big thanks to "Jimbo the Security" for letting me in to check....
-
We are really excited, and Willow will give cocker cuddles and sloppy wet cocker kisses to anyone willing to take um.... :005: :005:
-
Jinley has got her best slobber lips ready as well :015: :015:

see you all tomorrow, off to sleepies, on the road tomorrow 5.30am
-
Great to meet everyone today, not too sure who is more tired me or the dogs ;)
Smokey
-
Was great to meet you all thank you
The delinquents eventually quitened down after the car started moving. I honestly believe bangs scramble lulus brain. The best ewes Andrea came back to the car and all she bought was sausages :banana: : :happydance: :clapdance:
Anyway up early in the morning for two weeks down west Wales can't wait
-
It was good to see some of you today, shame we missed others at the 2nd meet. We took a few photos that I will post tmw. ;)
-
Yes it was a great day and lovely to see so many col's!
There should also be some new members coming online after we kept going up to people with cockers who looked like they were waiting for somebody and asking them if they were on the COL meet!!
Over-tired, grumpy Miss J slept all the way through our friends bbq last night and is still asleep on the settee at 10am!

A fine day in prospect so we attended at Weston Park on Saturday but £34 entrance a bit eye watering to say the least.
We had hoped to meet some Colers but it was not to be. Plenty of Spaniels but none I recognised. He did meet a sweet little four month old Orange roan puppy but he was only half the size of our woolly mammoth.
So many dogs and all seemingly getting on well together, an excellent training outing for young William, with the crowds and noise.
William passed an important test, sitting quietly at the picnic tables in a very crowded area, whilst we had lunch.
Might be able to risk him at the pub next. ;)
We were around the scurries at 3.0pm, but William was not very impressed.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bD79Jbp1joY/UFWFYOItFGI/AAAAAAAAI9s/o3FD0AZ4Tc0/s800/004.JPG)
What’s goin’ on ‘ere!
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PW6Wl8pdE3E/UFWFRpxxWJI/AAAAAAAAI9c/e5wFQQYowhQ/s800/005.JPG)
Why is he doin’ that, I just couldn’t be asked.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-f1SsqIMS6j8/UFWFTPLK_XI/AAAAAAAAI9k/PQ73ZrjULzo/s720/003.JPG)
Well I’m bored now can we go home.
-
Ooh what a shame we were only about 20 feet away from you! All exhausted by this time, sitting on the floor at the end of that row next to the novice scurry.
Hope we can soon meet William - perhaps on 7th October at Cannock Chasethen a pub lunch ?
Pat and Jinley
-
Hi Geow, i think our Puppy met William, Is william 6 months old?
-
Hello cliff, yes William is six months old and looking like a mini orange mamoth at the moment.
We did see quite a few choc workers, if you did see us I was wearing a Panama hat.
I can't believe we missed the colers, we were there for around four hours and I was looking out for likely candidates, I had the image of Jinley in particular pressed on my mind.
-
Oh GeoW what a shame I asked two people with pupsters like William if they were in Col and they weren't. My George is an orange roan and Ozzie is black. Sorry we missed you. :D

Yeah i though he looked familer in the pic, it was in the gundog section buy the main arena. They had a little play but were rudely interupted by a staffy :016:
-
Yes I remember, the staffie pup was getting a little too exited, well that's at least one member I've met :003:

Nice to have met you and your little William. We had a good day, it was very busy which i think was down to a few shows being cancelled due to bad weather. We did manage to get a few bits and pieces but we could have done with doing the sunday as well.

1st time to a Game Fair but definitely not the last.
I had a superb time & managed to get everything on my list and more
It was so lovely to meet so many of you at last & put a face to your names but also, more importantly!, to meet your fur babies, who are even more adorable in the fur than they are on the forum :luv:
Sorry to of missed others but seeing as it was such a great event, no doubt we'll be back next year & hopefully get to meet up then ;)
A special thank you to Jayne (Pearly) for the superb accommodation recommendation :luv: :-* - can highly recommend Odfellows of Shifnal which met our needs perfectly .... the additional wine bar/restaurant that adjoins the accommodation, had nothing to do with swaying us to give this recommendations a trial (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-eatdrink007.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php) :005:
to top such a perfect day, the weather was just perfect & hope you all enjoyed it as much as i did

Couldn't put it better Lindsey... was a lovely lovely day and was really nice to meet some new folk face to face and their lovely dogs :luv: Think Pearl may have pinched a little bit of my heart too, she is just :luv: :luv: :luv: And just to add my thanks to Jayne - your recommendation was fab! Really perfect after a long days driving/walking ;)

I had a photo of Jinley taken (when she was in a better mood) at the Game Fair on Saturday.

Was a lovely photo of Jingley :luv: but I have to say she did make me laugh later :005: she was soooooo tired. Wish I'd got a picture of her grumpy face watching the scurries in a very "why on earth would you want to do that...." fashion later on :005: bless her... she's gorgeous and a real character :luv: ... I love cockers so much!!!!

Looks like you all had an amazing time.
Pat, Jinley is so :005:, she is a little darling, some of her faces she pulls :luv:
I can imagine her actually saying that if she could speak :005: xx
-
Ha ha! What you cant see is that on the staged picture on the left there were a brace of pheasants which other dogs were taking a great deal of notice of! Jinley sat as far away as possible - like they were potentially covered in fleas!!! :005: :005:
As soon as the camera had clicked - she was off!!

We had a lovely day too, Ro had a whale of a time being the only dog between 4 people and all the attention and food that that entailed :005: The weather was fantastic and it was great to meet some new people, I was very taken with Pearl too, she's gorgeous :luv: I only bought 2 more slip leads and got a bargain on a fleece shooting jacket, there was a lot of nice stuff there though; I hadn't been to this particular game fair before but I would definitely go back again next year.

I think that puts Pearl in the fluesy category since she was anyones who'd give her a bit of attention :005:
As ever the Game Fair at WP didn't disappoint, I do think it was quite a bit bigger than last year with more shopping to be had :shades: it was fab to get to meet so many COL's and your dogs - Bo was beautiful and so well behaved, as was Willlow, Amber and Muswell but young Sydney stole the day for me :luv: :luv:
Ozzie and George seemed to be enjoying their day out, too......Miss J and Miss P spent the day together and if Jinley was anything like Pearl she slept the whole way to Devon! AND was still dopey on Sunday :banana:
As if I hadn't shopped enough......I'm now off to purchase a rather fabulous handbag thank you Helen :D :005:
See you all next year - or at Cannock Chase in a couple of weeks :D

Ozzie and George had a lovely day their favourite was the food alley I think as they spent a good time hoovering up chips :005:. Ozzie went all of a quiver ( more like a jelly really) when she met a ferret wasn't sure of it all and George sat with his head cocked to one side for a good two minutes looking at realistic crow that cawed which was on one of the stands. They did have a lie in, they had breakfast and a trot around the garden at 7 then went back to bed till 9 :D
It cost me a bit more than I expected the Pork Scratchings being the culprit as I managed to lose half a molar yesterday OUCH eating one. So off to the dentist I go. :'(

Had a great day on Saturday, lovely to meet some new COL's with your dogs. Amber certainly enjoyed making some new friends even if she did tire herself out. We barely heard a peep from her til Sunday evening!
We've put some photos in a new thread in the meet up photos section including a link to an album of the day

Hope you like them and we look forward to meeting again in the future
Thanks

Disappointed not to see anyone but seen as my spaniel decided he had never been to a game fair (this was the 3rd time) and was waaaayy too excited he had to spend the day in the van except for the flyball demo :'(
-
Great photos Janet. I took some but yours and Helens are much better. Willow says Hi to Amber and would like to meet her again one day so they can run around like loons together off lead :005:

Were you on the demo at midday? We saw the flyball team drive past and watched for a while......

Was on about 12 on sat and 1 on Sunday. Sunday was the better one we were a bit thin on the ground Saturday. Was really pleased with both of mine as its the first time tess has ever done un-netted Sunday! Bobby has been really nervous and hasn't done flyball in public for nearly a year and ran happily both days :)
