I was at the Game Fair at Scone last year and I've been a couple of tmes in the past, I think it's a good day out but can be pricey. Let's be honest the entry fee is only the start of the expense!! I used to love going to game fairs and I would save up my money and go armed with a list of kit I wanted to buy. It used to be the one time you would get so many stands selling shooting gear together at once, and you would have a choicethat would not normally be available. Then came along the internet and all of a sudden everything at the game fairs seems to be a bit over priced! Last year I ended up looking at things and saying 'I can get that cheaper online' to myself and so more or less left empty handed. The events in the main rings also seem more geared towards non-shooters and just for entertainment rather than actual displays of the ability of dogs and trainers for example.
All that aside, I do still like a good day out at the fair. It's good for the soul just to see so many other people out there supporting shooting. I'll give it a rest this year, but maybe next year!!
