Following a very successful Gamekeepers’ Fair we have received many thanks and praise from BASC members, traders, organisations and general members of the public.

Here are just a few of their comments..

I just wanted to say what an enjoyable time my family and I had at the Game Fair clays on the 15th. It was so good to take part on a clay layout that felt safe and well organised - although somewhat beyond my capabilities target wise it seems!

Took my family to the show at Catton Park at the weekend – the children loved it – we didn’t realise how big the show was – there was something for everyone – the children loved the old fashioned fun fair and the Punch & Judy shows.

May I thank you for putting together another excellent show.

I am writing on behalf of myself and all of the stallholders in the Antiques marquee at the BASC Gamekeepers’ Fair to thank you and all of your team.  We thought that the event was very laid out and organised and that everybody was most helpful.  I was particularly asked to mention how impressed everybody was by the immaculate toilet/shower facilities. This may seem rather an odd thing to mention, but it is a thing which is sadly neglected at too many other events. So, thank you once again for organising an excellent event.

Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to attend the BASC Gamekeepers’ Fair.  We thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the “characters” and met many interesting persons connected with the shooting industry.

Thanking you for your wonderful hospitality over the weekend and giving the Gurkha Pipes & Drums Band the opportunity to perform at the Gamekeepers’ Fair.  We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and managed to raise £2000 for The Gurkha Welfare Trust, our best total to date at a fair.  Many thanks.
Rob Cross - The Gurkha Welfare Trust

Really enjoyed the weekend, especially the arena demonstrations – the talking sheepdogs were so funny!  We didn’t realise it was such a big fair, must go again next year.
Sheila & Gordon - Ashbourne, Derbyshire

Very well organised.  Toilets clean!  Signs great!  Thanks for giving me the opportunity to trade at your event – really enjoyed the weekend.

Just to say, we all had a great day out at Catton and purchased some very
nice goods.  Excellent organisation, will certainly come again next year. Well done and many thanks.

As requested the Leythrs brought the good weather!!! Thanks for an excellent game fair and an excellent weekend was enjoyed by all. The reserved camping pitch was a good touch.
