Lots of families and foodies turned up, did some shooting, shopping and munching and were spoilt for choice with hundreds of stands ranging from ethnic clothing and tax planning to gunshops and
fine foods.

| Chef Rachel Green |

| Chef Ralph Skripek loving our Fruity vinegars |
The cookery theatre was fortunate enough to have the very entertaining chef,
Rachel Green doing a couple of demonstrations on the Friday. Rachel was her usual flamboyant self as she used our
Lemon, Basil, Bay and Juniper Dressing to add succulence and flavour to salmon fillets wrapped in foil and baked in the oven.
And, to show how versatile it is, Rachel also used the Lemon dressing to tenderise and enhance the flavours of the mixed vegetables she prepared to go with her main Duck dish; though this was nearly ruined as Rachel went to entertain the audience, leaving a worried Alex Albone (
Piper's Crisps) to tend the pan! Also doing demonstrations was chef
Ralph Skripek who specialises in doing Game recipes at food and county shows. We were delighted to welcome him to our stand afterwards, not least because we were at opposite ends of the show ground (about 20 minutes walk through the crowds)!

| The stand we shared with Cotswold Gold |
We had three long and very busy days on the stand, too. We decided to share with our friends at
Cotswold Gold, to show how the mix of a good quality extra virgin cold pressed rapeseed oil and our fruit vinegars makes an excellent dressing. We used our Taste Award winner, Blackberry Vinegar for the first day, then had to switch to the equally intensely fruit flavoured Raspberry for the other two days after we sold out of Blackberry!
Next year's
CLA Game Fair will be held at Belvoir Castle in Lincolnshire.
