Bisley Live, the Gun and Country Sports Show

#1 Post by HeatherW762 »

Bisley Live, the Gun and Country Sports Show was launched at the House of Lords in mid January and was very well received by the fantastic turnout spread broadly amongst the world of shooting.

Bisley Live will be a unique and highly focussed event catering exclusively for the target, hunting and game shooting fraternity and will include shotgun, air rifles and .22" firearms. The event will comprise a tented village, utilising the 300 yard firing point on Century and wrap around to include both the NCSC and the Bisley Shooting Ground. Manufacturers and retailers will showcase the very latest guns, ammunition, clothing and accessories. Working with Surrey police, we envisage that, with limited restrictions, the visitor who wishes to try before they buy will be able to test fire selected guns.

In addition to the exhibition, there will be shooting competitions and displays, gun and deer dog demonstrations by the renowned trainer Howard Kirby, fashion shows, talks on all matters shooting related and other attractions that will be advertised in due course. There will also be extensive catering facilities available as well as the opportunity for corporate entertainment.

We welcome not just the experienced shooter, but also their families and novices where there will be plenty of opportunity to "have a go".

Bisley Live will take place from 30 September to 2 October inclusive. More information will become available on the website www.bisleylive.com

The event will generate a substantial profit for the NSC and NRA and we hope will be a fun event, which will be well supported by the membership. There will be a number of restrictions placed on members at Bisley over the weekend, which we hope to be able to keep to a minimum. Full details of these restrictions will be available nearer the time.

Good point, has the work started yet? I did read an article a while ago saying the facilities were due to be modernised.

I have to say that the toilet at Short Siberia was extremely unpleasant to use last Sunday and it stank to high heaven. Sometimes you've just GOT to go, though. UGH :evil: :evil: :evil:

There are also two proper flush loos on Short Siberia, but they are closed in the winter to prevent frost damage. There is no electricity out in the wilds of Bisley to power heaters like in the loos on Melville.
