A little topic that I would like to discuss - the up and coming "show" season.
Drifting my mind back to last year I remember a tirade of comments post shows that people were disappointed for one reason or another. So what makes a show for you? Trade stands? I think we can all agree that the age o the show bargin are long gone. With the advent of eBay and forums such as these. Supplier have a far greater reach into the market place. An eBay add costs pence and will be seen by customers nationally and even internationally. So why spend thousands attending a show that only a fraction of the potential customers wil visit? Camping? Arena shows? Off road? 2002 Defender 110 DC |

But if there's something you want to examine, and look and feel before you buy...you can do it in one place???
For instance, I would like to have a side-by-side look at the Nakatanenga & Safari Equip Swing-Aways... Also MrsK & I are looking for new Leather/Heated seats for the Defender - and again - we would like to sit-in and try a few options before parting with the cash...I'm hoping the Shows can allow us to do this (I know one vendor is bringing a couple of Defenders with different aftermarket seats installed)... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

Both of the above .....
The 'craic' and camp out with your club and like minded mates [old and new] is the main draw for me, cant beat it 
Plus its great to be able to look around hundreds of Landies for ideas or view items 'in the flesh' Trade stands are good as is an arena ... but both are side events for me ... Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |

It's like anything, you make it of it want you want. It's starts with camping out with good company and the rest is a bonus
