Warwick is a nice place to stay with some good places to eat and drink.
If I book in for a couple of nights near to the shooting show are there any other places worth a visit? stately homes, marina's pubs or hotels by water etc etc I can treat the wife to a couple of days away and she will humour me around the show just as I humour her around the annual cake decorating show but I will have to justify booking the hotel by selling it as a treat away for her benefit.
Just awaiting the excuse to make the booking. Thanks in advance.
Happy wife happy life

There's plenty to see and do in Coventry, the shopping isn't great but there's some decent restaurants, plenty of historic sights and a fantastic transport museum.
There ended, the coventry tourist board information section.😊
Im sure Carls Wife will love a trip to the Motorcycle Museum as well as the Shooting Show.
You've just reminded me of two of the 'many' reasons I divorced the wife. She HATED my shooting and HATED my passion for petrol propelled two-wheelers, despite the fact they were both there before I met her. The new Memsaab loves the Harley, however, and approves of the shooting, too, as the latter stops me mooching around her place every (summer) evening when I haven't got my kids around mine.

I am in the same boat. Warkwick Castle and the Motorbike Museum already done (both very good) so going to do the Sea Life Centre and a Balti in Brum on this occasion. Going to drop her off at the Cinema near the NEC when I visit the Shooting Show.
You could always make a visit to the site of the old Webley factory on Weaman Street, demolished to make way for the ring road, and then feel kind of sad. If you like feeling sad.
National Motorcycle Museum. Militaria and Arms fair on Sunday 18th Feb lots of Air Guns for sale......!
Don’t forget Resorts World is right next door to the NEC, Outlet village style shopping, restaurants and a spa! I’m very lucky however....as Mrs Staffs86 loves my obsession and wants to invest in her own rifle!
Arte et marte.
Brocock Compatto Target .177 - Hawke Airmax 3-12x50SF

Lucky? Potentially loosing your cathartic solo shooting sessions and/or your recreational shooting days with your shooting mates (coz 10-2-1 they'll stop inviting you if you start coming as a two), then I reckon that you and me have different definitions of the word 'lucky' ???

don't forget your tin hat and body armour -- Birmingham has become a no go zone there are areas that whites don't go to
be carefull and if out in a car --lock your doors and have front and rear dash cams for your own safty
