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? ;-)

considering everyone knows Billing, I would guess that Kelmarsh will be the bare one....
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.

Why not go down the Jeep route, where they have one big show a year, and then a couple of smaller off roading days? 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 ;-)

Good point. however, having 2 shows within spitting distance of eachother on the same weekend is plain nuts.
Seems that .... well .. just read this :-)

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