The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I've been every got about 12 years.

Today was by far and away the smallest and quietest I've by a long way.

Bit surprised

Yes, I missed last years but been a regular for many years and i was surprised how quiet it was... you could actually get to the stalls!!

I took my son for his first Bisley visit, and he was surprised how small the trade stands were.

Did you notice if Norman Clark was there? He has quite a large stall as a rule.

Norman Clarke was there.
First stall on the left as you go in; biggish stall butperhaps smaller than theirsusex to be.

I remember physically struggling to get around in the past. Yesterday itfelt almost empty in comparison.

Couldnt go this year, at a UKPSA RO course, but was it expensive to exhibit?

I did my second lap of the marquee around 2.30 pm, it was almost deserted then.

A friend who was there did tell me. Something like £325 + VAT, per 6ft table, for the weekend...

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

This is the first year ever I've not attended... I can't help thinking that 50 individual gazebo sized plots at £50 a pop, sited on the grass behind Fultons would bring more interest to what is now a very dull show. There must be plenty of belt makers, walking stick carvers, bullet casters, knife makers, etc. etc. who would take a chance and fork out £50 but certainly not lob out £400.

Total cost to the NRA - Zero.

Back when, the fee was dependant on who you asked.

Nothing and I mean nothing has been done to encourage anyone to go to the Phoenix.

Be that sellers or buyers.

Such a shame.

Everything I copy and paste can be found in the real world by using Google.

Opening day Friday morning 8am there were less than ten of us waiting to get in, stall holders were either setting up or had not even started setting up.
