My wife & I went up from Sussex to the show. We thought it was a really good show. There was plenty to see on the trade stands and some good displays (such as the dog trials).
Our only disappointment was the lack of formal target shooting represented. No .22 rifle, no 10m air.
Not enough "rummage" stands. All very posh and somewhat antiseptic but very professional.
It was very refreshing to see the local police services turn out to deal with FAC variations etc.
I was pleased to see the NSRA, 50 cal, BSSc & HBSA there, where were the NRA?
If you want dull go to the revised Bisley shows at the Trafalgar, Phoenix etc then you'll understand our enthusiasm for the Northern Show.
We'd go again.
I got a couple of bargains and had a good day out.
FYI the pork and pork with black pudding pies were delicious, we can't get anything like them in Sussex.
