Hehe, i find it quiet amusing. I've always been to the "landrover show at billing" When it was run by LRO, then to the "landrover show at billing" when it was run by LRE and now i shall be going to the "landrover show at billing" which happens to be run by LRM. I want to go to Billing to look at landrovers, because it's near to me. I don't really give a toss which particular group of people are organising it this year. Alex Pity the poor traders. They can't be at both shows so one is going to look pretty bare.... SignatureNeil >Pity the poor traders. They can't be at both shows so one is going to look >pretty bare.... Sweepstake anyone? Billing has 'the name'. My money goes on LRM pulling off the more successful show. I reckon all camping will be moved to Richard Arrowsmiths fields - anyone remember who started all that off? ;-) On Wed, 25 Oct 2006 09:19:57 +0100, "Neil Brownlee" <n.brownlee@pccontrolNOSPAMsystems.com> scribbled the following nonsense: >Pity the poor traders. They can't be at both shows so one is going to look >pretty bare.... considering everyone knows Billing, I would guess that Kelmarsh will be the bare one....

SignatureNeil >Be interesting to see what happens. What if both are bare? it'd serve the silly buggers right. At a guess, LRE, having fallen out with the Billing people, are out to try and scupper it, and with luck will catch a cold in the process. Frankly, from what I've been hearing about Billing recently, I've no real desire to go there any more. IME, Eastnor and Malvern have (last 2 years, when I've been to 'em) been good shows. Malvern in particular has excellent facilites, and no hassle that I could detect.

The current high number of shows *cannot* be sustained...

The current high > number of shows *cannot* be sustained... I think they will continue but implode due to lack of intrest from exhibitors. One show is not a good idea in my opinion as It's the location that is key for most people, unless of course you happen to have it in North Staffordshire which is the centre of the known landrover enthusiast universe as all will agree ;-) Lee D >> exactly >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >Staffordshire which is the centre of the known landrover enthusiast universe >as all will agree ;-) Good point. however, having 2 shows within spitting distance of eachother on the same weekend is plain nuts.

Something similar happened in the air show world, there was a very nice combined full size and model show at Elvington (where the Hamster had his prang) which appealed to all the family. Then the childish modellers fell out with the airfield owners and tried to stage a rival show a few miles away on the same day!. Both sides lost out, but the modellers faired far worse as their traders went to the Nationals at Barkstone heath where they thought they would get more trade, and most have stayed there every year since!. Even though the modellers lost a load of money their pride made them try it again the next year, before they finally admitted defeat and moved the date. But they haven't really got back to where they started and would have been far better swallowing their pride and working with the owners of Elvington. The bottom line is that the traders will make a cold financial decision, they'll go to the show they think will get the most customers, and many will talk to each other so they end up at the same place to get the biggest crowds. We'll find out where the traders are going nearer to the date, most of us will follow as a show with no trade is a dead loss, and the other show will be a financial disaster.

I'll stick with going to Eastnor and Malvern, anf hopefully more of the usual "crowd" will make it to the latter next year.
