Congratulations to the 'fresh' organising team, I say fresh because I think some have history with the CLA event. I have a nasty suspicion the CLA event was killed by nothing more than greed. Would someone from the CLA like to publish what the land owners were paid for the three days use of their acreage. Those complaining about locations might then think differently. I have run stands at shows and know what it costs to be there. If the organisers find it difficult to make a profit from 100,000+ visitors and scores of exhibitors they are better off out of it. Whenever I talk to exhibitors 'excessive charges' keeps cropping up. The new team look like they are addressing this issue, so well done. See you end of July.

Excellent fair for 2016. It was easy to access, no excessive queues, the parking was well organised and programme was exciting. A wonderful day out. Very good news about alternating between Hatfield and Ragley. It is good to have the dates for the next 5 years.

We went expectantly to the game fair on the Friday and were not disappointed, The grounds at Frampton are ideal for the venue, lots of space and well arranged stalls and rings gave it a lovely relaxed atmosphere . It felt very spacious but we thought still contained all the essentials required for a good game fair. Maybe because we were relatively early but we had no traffic problems. One criticism Is the lack of signposts.

Alternating between Herefordshire and Warwickshire is going to be hard work for anyone who lives in the north or south/south east. We live in Essex and Have been going to the CLA gamefair every year (apart from 2012 when it was cancelled due to bad weather) but have missed this year due to it being too far away and a bit too much hassle with congested roads. I had hoped it would be back to Blenheim next year but alas I've just found out it's going to be even further away from us! I do wish you had of had a proper look at the map before your boardroom meeting were lazy and had no imagination. There are many places in this great country you could have chosen.

first visit to game fair this year,had a lovely day out .Was a little disappointed as expected there to be a variety of game/and different farming creatures....etc to look at. Looking around, not many stall catered for children to spend there pocket money on as clearly this is very much a family event. Shall be returning next year and this time go to stay over... Long drive home for us .

Hello after seeing your email regarding the Game Fair locations for the next six years, I would just like to say how disappointed I am. I live in the Isle of Man and have been a regular at the Fair for years, and it was great to have the fair at Leeds, as it was less traveling for my wife and I. But now it's South for six years so this is going to put an end to our visit, as we are both elderly. I am a member of Africat and I have had to complain to them also, because every event they have is London, or at least the south. Do we not exist in the north, is this the north/south divide again or is it because the people with the money are down there? I would appreciate your comments. Regards Mr Coupe

There are very few in Lincolnshire I feel we are in terminal decline unless we stop spraying..which is unlikely to happen sadly.

I think you may find that many many people believe that the Game Fair has ended permanently due to it being unprofitable . I admit that finding dates here for the next 6 years is surprising- not that I am about to record these dates because I gave up attending after spending 7 hours awaiting my exit from one Game Fair - an experience I never wish to experience again ! However I hope the organisers realise that they need to promote the rebirth of the Game Fair far more than they have done to date - otherwise the rebirth will be stillborn.
