Chatsworth Country Fair having your trousers down?

[lambic]

Greed happened

Have yo

Too full of townies in Barbour jackets pretending they’re “country folk” for me nowadays. What happened to the good old country fairs where you could go and meet likeminded people and pick up a bargain or 2?

Been a very, very long time since bargains were to be had anywhere near Baslow / Chatsworth.

Check out the house prices

I treat the game and gun shows as a few hours out, then into the pub on an overnighter with friends. Just a good excuse for a lads night way. Rarely see any bargains, but then again, not looking too hard.

Never fall out with the mother of your children, especially if she's fallen out with you.

Nah, health and safety and other bureaucracy happened. Have you any idea of the cost of staging events?
Dozens of stewards need paid, Marquee hire, herris fences, security, temp ground protection, toilets, first aid, Insurance (mega bucks!!) and on and on and on..

For a large number of visitors they re-coupe the entrance by taking what they can from stall any holders. Some making a fair bit of profit too from what was stolen from the shows this year.

Good show, but not a shooting show. Bit of everything.

Didn’t see many orientals over the two full days I was there, so no idea where the comment about Chinese comes from.

If you’re quite tall you might not have seen them

I dont know the facts of this particular show but im involve in a local agricultural show. Our costs are in excess of £30,000 to put the show on. With a £10 entry fee, plus trade stands and sponsors there is very little left. In a good year we can make a few thousand but in a wet year we can loose £10,000.
