I am looking at clearing of to Sharm for a short break, i think a nice bit of sun will do me good.
My plans have settled over the past few days, 16-17 days, mid-August to early September, Shropshire, Stratford oA and the Peaks. No fancy destinations, probably not a lot of sun, but a lot of fun, a little hard work, old friends and, most-like a fair few good beers.
Shropshire Game Fair, Chetwynd Aston, the Warwickshire & West Midlands Game Fair at Ragley Hall and the Chatsworth Country Fair at Chatsworth House, any of you who want a good, if expensive, day out, then turn up, look out the lurchers (NL&RC) and give me a shout..........
cheers, whether I see you there or not.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to get to know the railways a bit better and do some of this pub touring, it would appear to be a lot of fun!
Of those I plan to make this year, I think Chatsworth would be best for you, equipment-wise, and it is early September, not a lot better I know. We also plan to be in Chetwynd Aston for the Raptor Fair, that's the 2/3 May. I haven't been to Ragley for several years and have no idea of it's emphasis these days.
I had no idea you were into gamebirds, or even that you were a farmer and have only the vaguest idea where you are based. All that said for sheer choice you can't beat the CLA, which is also at Ragley this year, July 23/25th.
Whatever, I hope we meet up, I've only met 'old boots' so far and I thoroughly enjoyed his company.
For heaven's sake don't let him know I said that............until the day...
