Stalking Show - campsite

[Moose67]

What are the camping arrangements like for the Stalking Show ?
All I can see from their website is that there wont be an electric (not a problem)

Camped last year. Thought it very expensive for what it was. Probably that's why so few people camped.

What are discounts like at the show? Debating whether I buy my rifle now, or wait for the show. Likewise for needing some sticks + scope. Unsure if worth the wait. Thoughts?

When you take into consideration the cost of attending shows combined with travelling expenses eating out drinks etc no real savings made probably better turning up at the local gun shop and beat out a deal.

Variable.
You could lose on the swings what you gain on the roundabouts.

Ah, what a shame. I'll bare in that mind and just go ahead with buying now in that case. Half hoping it'd be similar to the photography show that happens each year, etc.

Used to be the case many years ago game fairs were the place to go and buy stuff plenty on offer and if paying cash very good discount on used equipment unfortunately the ever increasing cost of attending shows retailers stopped going and those that did could not afford to offer discounts as the pitch rentals were getting out of hand it was the demise of the game fairs I used to attend 30 years ago.

Hope so, but not sure if I can get there on the first day this year. Something else has cropped up.

Don't you worry mate, I've had plenty of practice!
Despite it being about 10 years since I built the extension on our house I still haven't gotten around to installing the stairs. So I have to climb a ladder every night to go to bed.

Haha that's exactly the sort of thing I'd do!! So many things here that are only half done or just don't quite work right. But you get so used to it, that once it eventually does get fixed up, it feels wrong working properly!!
