The year's most anticipated event arrived at Weston Park over the 17th and 18th September, welcoming people in their droves as they enjoyed some superb championship finals, fantastic family features and what was the last installment in Countryman Fairs' five countryside attractions for this year.

With over 90,000 people believed to have attended across the two-day event, the 29th Midland Game Fair proved as popular as ever with both seasoned game-farers and first-time newbies arriving through the gates to experience a true taste of the countryside. Whilst wet weather had been forecast, the weekend remained mostly dry with even some sunny intervals arriving over the Shropshire countryside on both days - perfect game fair weather!

Offering the most comprehensive exposition of shooting sports in Europe, the Midland Game Fair once again welcomed a host of country sports and championship finals, allowing everybody to enjoy what was in store. Whether it was the finals in the Mitsubishi Motors World Series Clay Shooting and Gundog Championships, the Countryman's Weekly Terrier and Lurcher Champion of Champions, the European Field Target Championships or the the ATEO Junior Airgun Championships, talented individuals from across a spectrum of disciplines were finally awarded those illusive winning titles.

Reporting on the weekend's proceedings, Countryman Fairs' Chief Executive, Ian Harford says: “This year's Midland Game Fair has once again received a fantastic reception. It's a pleasure to see so many people from up and down the country enjoying the best of our countryside and getting involved in a variety of rural traditions and country sports. From individuals and families to those competing in our championship events, from all the team at Countryman Fairs we do hope you took away memorable experiences and we look forward to seeing you again for the 2012 season!”
