So, The World Gunmakers Evening was launched to completely unique event like
nothing else that you find in the sporting calendar.
The idea is that we get the world's greatest gunmakers together in one room
right next to each other, nothing no chance to have loads of bays,
big stand and everything else. One table for each gunmaker.
Looking forward to a busy evening, we've brought some of our wares with us
and from entry-level almost and to some of the bespoke range just to give
people a little taste of what we're about.
We're here to show our product, a range of unusual English pieces, unusual hierology.
and we're hoping for a good evening. Today in The Jumeirah Carlton Tower,
in Knightsbridge, we picked the location purely because
it had a fantastic ball room, absolutely perfect setting,
private entrance, bring all the guests upstairs and then the two rooms overlooking
Cadogan Place, Sloane Street. It's exactly,
just a few hundred yards from where most of the British gunmakers are based.
It's a lovely show to be at, very friendly, very
supportive as well. And I think the setting here today
is just magnificent. We're just hoping we get a lot of interested
customers, so looking forward to it.
The evening kicks off at 6 o'clock and people will be coming and going throughout
the evening, a chance to just enjoy
champagne, canapes, fine guns. We've got a couple of speeches at
about half 7 from myself and Lord Brocket, who is
part of Brocket Hall Foods who are sponsoring the evening, along with Devonshire Wealth
Management. Now, I'm here for two reasons, I'm told.
The first thing is guns and the second thing is food.
The important thing is of course the guns.
Tonight is a great event, we stumbled upon
it by accident last year. And what a great event it was. All the right
sort of clientele for us and I'm frankly
the craftsmanship on display is amazing. Hi, I'm Rob MacArthur working from Viking
Arms. We're based up in North Yorkshire, we're a
distributor. It's our first time down at the World
Gunmaker Evening, it's absolutely fantastic, as you can see.
really really busy. We're meeting some great people, new faces
and everything, so it's really really good. People here are
all game shooters or shooters of some description.
You know, it just goes to show that people are very
much engaged in this world now.
This is our first time to exhibiting at this event
it's been such a good night, we can't wait to come back next year.
We've had a fantastic evening, we thank everyone so much for coming. We've
met some really lovely people. And we actually to be honest brought the website
to life by bringing everyone together on a evening
like this. If you want to know more about GunsOnPegs
