There's some odd things going on with shows this year. The LRO Show was scheduled for the East of England Showground, but they seem to have fell out with the organisers, Live Promotions or summat.

However, the same weekend is now the 4x4 Show, promoted by Live Promotions, same place East of England Showground...

I understand that LRO Spring Adventure - still run by Live Promotions (?) is still on, which if anything like last year will be a very good show.

August Bank Holiday is the New, New LRO Show, but we'll be going to the Town and Country Festival at Stoneleigh as it's not just Landies - which by the end of the season is smashing as we've almost had enough of the Green Oval by them.

We'll be doing Peterborough, 4x4 Show or whatever though. We've never done an All Marques 4x4 Show so it should be rather fun (I'm not really too bothered with the 'if it aint a Landie it aint a proper

I only wondered about Eastnor being on as its only about 10 miles away from the Three Counties Show Ground. I'm not sure that its a good weekend to be driving in that direction though, especially on the Friday. Its thee weekend that everyone wants to get away for before the kids go back to school.

Just had a look on the website for the one at Gaydon at the end of April. Is the price for the camping £15 per night or for the 3 nights?

My understanding is that this is for the three nights.

From what I've read, it's a flat fee of £15 whether you stay one night, two nights, or all three. Of course I could have mis-interpreted - wouldn't be the first time ;o)

Question is, is the Gaydon show big enough to require more than a day to get a good look at everything, and make all those "essential" purchases? I've not been before, so don't know what's there. The web site doesn't really give any indication of that.

I'd have considered staying just one night to get the two day entrance price, but not if I've got to pay £15 extra!

What have you guys done previously?

Will go as a day visitor, without the kids as its a driveable distance from Leicester.

Gaydon is more of an event rather than just a show. We like it becuase we get to meet up with old faces, moan about what's broken and drive from the Land Rover factory then drive back to the Heritage Motor Centre... It may all seem a little sad I guess, compared to shows like Billing, but then I reckon that's why we like it :-)

Last year was a rather special event, see:

Dam it I thought those piccys had gone away ;-) ... but it does raise a point... will Morph get there painted or otherwise... time will tell.

Martyn.. I know I was a bit slow on the return ( I anticipated a bar coded form - manual processing takes longer ;-) ) but could you let me know if I'm paid up officially as I've a wish list of Parts for Morph which will be essential before any long trips. Nowt landed in the post recently.

While I've been R & R'ing up t'lakes Mother D has been at the rear seat covers and the rear forard facing seat with belts / side facing seats / double bed with apholstry are in - progress at last!!!
