We're over the far side of the showground near the DOCKDOGS attraction which we watched yesterday. Yes there's a lot of pet people there especially on that row and we're at the far end near the clay pigeon shooting! We've had an ok saturday but home there's a few more people coming today.

Re: Robin Hood Game Fair 17-18 Oct, Newark
Apologies if I offend anyone but I thought the Robin Hood Game Fair was a common load of mediocre tosh!
Firstly it was hardly a Robin Hood themed event. The standard admission price of £10 for an event that was more like a Donington Market! All the activities aimed at children were overpriced. I really had expected more of a rural feel to it rather than cheap and tacky stalls (not all). Maybe I am being a hypercritical snob.

I'm not taking any offense, I agree with you, and as a trader I was really disappointed. Last years show was really good, a lot smaller, not so many of each type of trader (I counted 18 pet accessories) they spread us out too much and tried to make the show bigger than it actually was. We couldn't really see what was going on in the main arena, just had to watch the DOCKDOGS, which was highly entertaining and well organised. But yes there were some really chaep and tacky areas! (Not ourss of course  ) Oh well. Live and learn!

No way can it be compared with the CLA but the again neither can the price thirty quid against a tenner! That said we had bucketloads of free tickets anyway so had nothing to lose! That said I did go last year and did think this year was an improvement myself!

Re: Robin Hood Game Fair 17-18 Oct, Newark
Phew glad I was not the only one! Was expecting a torrent of abuse in regards to my comment.
That morning I even telephoned my sister who actually was on route to tell her to turn around and not to bother going to the fair. A farce

Glad that I was too exhausted to go to that then!
