I know of several traders who will not be attending, not because of the distance but for the reasons Don and Eddie have mentioned, that coupled with the fact that the pitch fees quoted were the same as those at York Racecourse.

I was told by another trader that they were offering hefty discounts to vehicle dealers (allegedly) to fill space at Lincoln but would not extend the offer to non-vehicle traders.....the trader concerned has pulled out of the Pickering show as a result. I am sure if this is the case then there will be others who will be considering the same action

just spoke to my bro about the showground and it seems it is not too good.

he's been to different shows here and he said yes it is a dust bowl when its dry and a mud bath when its wet.

he cant figure out where the campsite is as the arena isnt big enough for the number of vans that will attend and all the day visitors cars.

might go as a day visitor this year to sus it out as its only 20miles from us.

if theres any other events here in the near future i'll go and check it out.

i think the organisers have dropped a bo**ck with this one.

john.

Hi John,

Hre's a link to the site N54.22775 W0.77157 - Google Maps

The Camping & Caravan Club are having their "Feast of the Lanterns rally" in August and they expect 3000 units.

We had a look around the rally field and there's more space than appears. I also spoke to the rally marshal of the C&CC rally that was on at the time and he seems to think they can make an entrance/exit on the A170 Pickering to Helmsley road but I'm not sure.

Don

Hi there
can you post a link for the show that you are all discussing here?

I am new to all this and at first thought you were all talking about the National Feats of Lanterns Rally that the CCC are holding there in agust - which we hope to go to and was looking forward to meeting all those who say here they are booked but after reading the last few posts realised that its not the NFOL that you are discussing...
yours sincerely
CONFUSED.COM!!

will start new thread about NFOL would love to meet up with funsters if possible

Just booked.

Pity I didn't read the forum first.

No matter, it is our first time with the funsters.......... please don't be shy, come and introduce yourselves.

Or we may have to retreat back to the CC line.

See You There

June and Dave

If it keeps raining like this it will be more than a mud bath & more like a lake, anyone taking their fishing pole.
