After cancellation last year due to the pandemic, the Game Fair returned, held at Ragley Hall near Stratford-upon-Avon from 23^rd to 25^th July.  Although no longer run by the CLA, much remains the same, although there are also significant differences.

            One throw-back to the old days was the traffic.  On the Friday, the last four miles took me eighty minutes, whilst I heard of one group that took three hours to arrive from their hotel eleven miles away!  The crowds were large, celebrating country sports again after months of lockdown.  One report suggested that the attendance was the highest ever for the first day of a Game Fair, perhaps a reflection of the weather forecast for the weekend.
