    Northern Shooting show.

    So who went and what was it like? Would loved to have gone but a bit too far for me.

    Didn't bother going this year as it was disappointing last year. I hope I was wrong and they have turned it around, it will give me something to look forward to next year

    Meh, I don't really know what some people expect when they go to these shows, but I went on Saturday and enjoyed it. Some decent deals to be had particularly on shotties. Had some good chats with manufacturers/ sales reps. Fondled some nice guns. The only really busy stands were Cheshire gunroom and Redbeck. Easy to get to, cheap to get in. Whilst there was still some shiite being sold there was much less of the artisan food and clothing stalls that seems to plague these events in recent years.

    Fairly similar.
    Got there at nine on Saturday. I was ready for home before 12.

    Went Saturday. Was less busy and less bargains than last year but it was a social occasion as much as anything for us.

    5 of us went, but we met and chatted to lots of folk, on stands etc.

    I thought last year was better, more bargain/rummage type stalls, this time, not even BSA turned up.

    Going next year? Yes.
