I can't believe how busy it's been at the Game Fair today. There were so many people you could barely walk along some of the avenues at times.
Strikes me that this event is going from strength to strength - it's a great day out and it tailors everything to what its visitors want (it knows, as the marketeers might say, its demographic). Other shows should take note!
Good to see there were bottles of water being handed out free to punters as they went in this morning - a small gesture, but a nice touch. They certainly have been needed. Many people were also wishing they'd remembered their suntan lotion!
The delays getting onto the site weren't anywhere nearly as bad as yesterday morning, either.
My one criticism is the entry price. £25 for an adult on Friday (reduced to £20 for either Saturday or Sunday) seems a bit steep.
Other than that, it's been great - and tomorrow, which is the last day, looks set to draw in big numbers of visitors again. My highlights - other than meeting Bernard Cribbins, of course - were tasting some positively divine cheeses and seeing all the different breeds of dog.
Unfortunately, I missed the Shooting Times party on Friday night which I gather is the drinks gathering not to be missed at the Fair. Apparently Lembit Opik was there, enjoying the hospitality (minus the cheeky girl).
