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

I'm sure on the British Shooting Show website on the Monday after the show weekend, there was a banner saying what a tremendous success it was.

Doesn't appear to be there now - perhaps they've read the widespread disquiet at the poor car park and access organisation that appeared on this and on a number of shooting forums?

Did any one else notice the banner?

I went on Sunday and everything worked perfectly, I saw a PR somewhere explaining the problems on Saturday

I did not see the banner. The ones to ask about the show being a success or not are the exhibitors and the visitors.

For me it was a thoroughly enjoyable day out, very busy around midday, I got there early and left late had no problems. So from my view point a very succesful event.

...probably in THEIR books, as in how much money they made from stall fees and the ticket sales & how much they didn't spend on staff/stewarding & signage - a massive success

What other criteria could they possibly have been using when working out how big a success it was?

Couldn't agree more Saddler in their eyes it may have been sucessful i.e. raked in the money, but it wasn't well managed. I for one have serious concerns about the safety of the public at the event.

I emailed them after the show complaining as I went on Saturday and it was a complete nightmare. I got a nice reply from them but I'm afraid I will never be going again unless the change the venue, too crowded and I didn't relish the thought of having to park in what I can only describe as an open pig sty.
