 i looked at the show when first details came out but at 18 quid  to show your car i said no way, the practical classics chaps were there and pics on the f/b page show not that busy at one point, very wet as well.
 i don't know any one from 3 different local clubs that went either.
 all said too dear.

 i hope so, i know things are expensive to stage a show but my local club the bridgwater classic club manage to have a succesful show in august with 3-400 vehicles, all free to enter, have a great show, pay for lots of things we need and still give away thousands in donations to various charities, inc the air ambulance.

				| We have football on a Sunday so couldn't have made it but we were certainly not going to pay that entry on top of the fuel to get there and back. _________________

				| I've just seen some video footage of the event and it doesn't look very busy with the public at all. _________________

 i saw some footage on youtube, yes looked quite dead, but the weather did not help. maybe it would have been busier with the sun out.
