Simon Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I got there fairly late on but it did seem busy, but then maybe it wasn't a masive headcount through the doors because people were staying for most of the day rather than coming and going.....

Tractorman810 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 About 620 waiting for final Tally, Warner busy at Hants Ploughing Match so yet to have final meet / tally! really, seemed a lot busier than that, infact busy pretty much right up till it closed, unlike the previous year when it petered off arround 2ish, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I didn't think there were so many punters there this year. I arrived there around 10 past 10 and there were only about 20 vehicles in the field park and when I left just after 2 there were about 6 lines of vehicles. there were people still coming in then but there were also people leaving so difficult to judge attendance unless a tally was kept at the door.

Deere-est Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I got there at 12 and I thought it was rammed. I tried to get from the door to my table with a big starage tub and it was a bit of a nightmare to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Seemed pretty busy to me, Car park was fairly full to from what I saw The most important thing as regards the future, is whether the traders had a good day I'd have thought I certainly hope thats the case !!

Lady Ferguson Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I was busy most of the day - it was the best show I've done this year and definitely busier than last year. It took me an hour to eat my burger I was so rushed off my feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robl12 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 yeah i think thats right because then chips were 1.50 i think but i guess that was the only thing so they could charge what they like :D Seems a little steep, at the local show we had a choice of food and I think a steak in a bun was 3.00 cheeseburgers about 2.50, if I rember right and that was Aberdeen Angus.

powerrabbit Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Whenever I go to these sort of events I always pack up and take some sandwiches. These caterers are rip-off merchants, plus if you get food poisoning, with sandwiches you only have yourself to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
