War and Peace Show?

I went for several years but havn't been for a few as it now costs to exibit (=A325 IIRC) and I feel that is taking the piss. The Kemble show

Forgot to ask are you going to the Haslebury Mill show with the Wessex MVT in a couple of weeks?

I expect so, I won't be exhibiting the pinz although I am a member of MVT and attend the Wessex monthly meets (or rather have attended one so far, having only just joined). There were a lot more people at the monthly meets than I expected, a nice crowd.

I've been to Kemble once, I was taking photos when I had some decent camera gear, it was a good show, I drove the landy up to the front of the car park next to the runway and stood on the bonnet taking shots. It's a shame Vulcans don't fly any more though.

I will meet you there then , having been going to the Wessex meet for several years now.

OK, let's see if my rusty memory can pick you out of the crowd ;-)

I'm not sure which day to go on yet for the Haselbury show, I had a leaflet that said it was on the Saturday and the Sunday, I don't know what the difference is between the two days, if you know, do tell me so I don't turn up on the wrong day! I would probably go on Sunday, there's a classic sports car day at Castle Combe on the Saturday that I might attend.

Last one I think as it becomes the site of the Olympic village. Very controversial when there was a coup that changed the show management so maybe time for a fresh start.

Saturday is the private club day, including a road run , setting up and mucho drinking and Sunday is public day with mucho drinking if needed.

Olympic Village? I don't think so. To quote from the Olympic site as follows:

"That means that 50 per cent of Olympic athletes and 75 per cent of Paralympic athletes will effectively be able to walk to their venues - that is absolutely unique in the Olympic Games that I have experienced."

Long walk!!!

Aside from that, should be going on the Saturday.

I've been going to War & Peace for 6 years...exhibiting for 3 ! Yes it does cost...but what a week ! Where else can you go for good clean fun, with a bit of tank driving, off roading, cold beer, evening entertainment in three bars and just a great atmosphere in England in the summer for =A325 ? Personally I'm a member of MVT & IMPS and as W&P originally was an IMPS show that's where the costs arise ! But we won't go there ! All I can do is tell as many as want to read this...it's a good'un ! Every time I've been to Kemble, I've broken down....and I don't even own a Land Rover (any more!) I am however running a RRC, and a 1958 M35A2C (6x6 US Army Troop carrier)

It was a rumour that seems to have grown from the new owner's permission to build quite a few luxury holiday homes on the site, mind it is a huge site so there is room for all.
