Some of you will have visited the UK's biggest Game Fair in previous years, before it all went t*** up a couple of years back.
Last year, after must messing around, we landed up with a reasonably successful replacement which received good but qualified reviews and its 2nd year took place this last weekend.
I attended on Friday and was pretty delighted with what I found.
The venue was Hatfield House, a short distance off the A1M and only a short drive north of London. The layout was compact without feeling cramped, plenty of clean loos, food vendors dotted round everywhere and very few queues for anything. I drove straight in at about 10.30am in a short line of constantly moving cars, the parking was extensive and only a 5 min brisk walk to the entrance, there were tractors and trailers for those unable to walk the short distance and the ticketing staff welcoming.
As a BASC member (trade actually), entrance was free and I immediately bought a program and planned my assault!
All in all, a great day out with LOTS to see. All the big names were there, lots of eye candy and the guns were pretty too.
Thoroughly recommend it to any visitors to the UK.
Next year it will be at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire and I suspect it is going to be bigger and better as the people who chickened out this year realise they need to be there to be seen.
Oh and when it returns to Hatfield House in 2019, the railway station is right outside the main gates so those wanting to visit from any place served by a station, can get there without a car!
