maximus otter Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I went a couple of years ago. The Dress Code seemed to be: 1. Morbid obesity. 2. Full Realtree camo. 3. Leather cowboy hat. Accessorise with a hyperactive Springer and you'll blend right in. maximus otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 to true why take a dog to such a thing? Maybe because people in those categories do not have any two legged friends whose vocabulary extends to more than woof, and being able to lick ones b*lls!

gbal Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Once took a pointer to Crufts,but even he was getting a bit bored by Gundog Finals night;and I was beginning to find the tweed skirt,twin set,pearls and heavy brogue shoes a bit uncomfortable too.

MJR Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Gbal, try the next size up twin set, smaller pearls and bigger shoes, you'll be fine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks,girls.....I didn't mean to bitch......or mention the "Yardley" or "Tweed" cosmetics.... there just has to be a tolerance/compromise between "When in Rome..." and "appropriate dress code..." . Not everyone can win at "Articulate" ,whether the K9 or Neanderthal versions. That said, 'It takes all types' can be seen as a criticism,too...... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madyarra Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Funny you should say that, I went to the Kelso stalking fair a few years ago wearing a bright yellow and blue north face jacket and everyone was looking at me like I was mad! I just can't understand it! Some folk must be trying to look like they're fresh off the hill mun! May aswell smear your face in blood and carry an unprepped trophy around with you! Lol. Each to their own though I suppose! I went a couple of years ago. The Dress Code seemed to be: 1. Morbid obesity. 2. Full Realtree camo. 3. Leather cowboy hat.

Borisserge Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I think to attend in the finest of 3 piece ( in exquisite mulberry silk), brogues and cravat is fitting enough for the day out, though I'm more a fat lab fan than a crazy springer. .....

The Gun Pimp Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I just got back from the Show and thought it was a good day out. Bumped into a few UKVers - Bradders, Breacher (got me bi-pod!) Foxing tonight, Lambsey, Baldy Dave and one or two others. I've usually been stuck on a stand so it was great to walk around and have a natter. Liked DCR's 2oz trigger, Staffordshire Synthetics new stocks, Vortex's 15-60 scope (Pleased to see it's made in Japan) Third Eye had some new stuff, plus a few other bits and pieces. No queue to get in - or out - for a non-shooting day it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshirelad Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Mainly overpriced tat, some interesting things but not worth £20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsc1960 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I will be there on Sunday as I have things to pick up, so just to warn you all, I will be the fat git in full camo with my bull terrier leather cowboy hat bad breath and body Oder of burnt powder and brasso. I have a tad more than £20 so I'll be ok, as I'll be taking my own salami sandwiches cold tea and a raw onion for desert, I look forward to meeting like minded hunters. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
