A good day today. Good to meet David and Christel again, and good to meet DM and Eager no skill, who by the way was pretty quick on the practical pistol range :good:

Nothing brought but an order going in for something shiny soon.

Look forward to next year

Had a good day, got there for just gone 8 and it wasn't to bad but it soon got busy.

I didn't manage to look at everything I wanted to and lots of the stands were really busy, did manage to get myself a reasonable shotgun and sightron scope tho :D

Only saw 20 series today but as he's the only one I know off the forums I didn't expect to see anyone else XD

Aye, fancied a visit, but on the promo site it was shown as VERY busy last year, so that would rule out the Mob Scooter.
If you could not walk up to some stands for the mass of people there, not much point in trying for access on the old scooter. We will have to wait for the fairs coming round I suppose, where there is more room to manouvere. ****

We did Chatsworth and the Midland last year, both very enjoyable. We took the little scooter to Chatsworth and ended up having to hire one on site after its batteries failed. Lesson learned for the Midland, big scooter on the back of the trailer - no problem then. :goodjob:

Pleased all had a good day who visited Newark, weather was good - that must have been a big plus. :good:

I saw quite a few mobility scooters, I think that by and large the crowds parted to let them through: once they became aware they were there.

Couldn't get this feller to smile at the camera but thanks Jon for the Lapuas, I hope the Rock chucker does the job for you.
