is it JUST the best venue, the buildings, the layout, a train carriage, all period and colonial, cruising roads and lanes, the Pavilion, the gun shops, just superb

I just hope it can be kept for future Hayrides as there were whispers that the new management wanted to keep the site for shooting events only

They didn't loose the venue. They chose not to use it after Bisley changed/enforced some new rules. Unfortunately Bisley is in business to make money, and after some years of loses they have new staff and new systems, which has now turned the company round. Believe it or not they would have made more money out of last weekends shooting than the Hayride. After all Bisley has always been there as a shooting facility.

Nope, show caravans that will be sited on site 4. Nowhere near where the Hayride takes place.

Wrong. Membership is up .
Small amount of the Money from Hayride goes to N.R.A (read Phunkie Hiboy's post)
