Overall a reasonable show with a nice lot of traders although I thought the pricing on much of the stands was rather expensive - Add to this the fact that we didn't even get a sticker or programme when we came in.   Saw a lot of people and a number of clubs had made quite an effort to join in with the event theme - once again - we came  nowhere - which is a tad disapointing since we tried to cover all aspects.  Perhaps we tried to cover too many?   Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best in the world so that put a drab slant on the day too.
 
Good points - It was nice to see the monster truck Minis and a fab van with a Rover v8 shoehorned in  - and didn't look outrageous either!  The wheels and tyres seemed to be in nice proportion.  We had some fun doing  a Mini-go-round and Mini-dodgems with John doing particularly well with his fishing.  Saw a nice yellow Clubman with  a seven port head on prep-ed ready for competition but unfortunately never heard it running.  Nice to see a Binny up  close as to how little space there is under the bonnet.  Had a laugh at Steve's expense with a JD bottle and some overalls.
