2012 Show

Following a very successful sixth show in 2011 including the display of the the ChCh Press photos showing the WW1 effort and attendance by members of the Italy Association we are proud to announce that the next Mainland Arms and Militaria Gun Show will be held on Saturday 21 July from 9.00am – 5.00pm 2012 with set up for displayers and sellers the day before (Friday 20 July), from 3pm till late.

Despite the earthquakes in Christchurch sellers, collectors and the general public attended in record numbers - a real indication of their resilience and desire to carry on with what matters in their lives.

The Gun Show will again be at the Riccarton Park Function Centre (Riccarton Raceway) as this offers all sellers and displayers more time to set up and trade on the Friday night. Last year all the spaces were booked out so you will need to complete and return either the sellers contract & agreement or display/club registration form as soon as possible to confirm a booking (especially if you want the same space as last time) and guarantee participation.
