Bad News re Billing Show
It seems that we've been knocked off the club list for Billing. I know they were over-subscribed (allegedly) and I don't know if previous clubs got priority. After chasing them for an update a few times over the past couple of weeks I got this email today - looks like a block mail so I guess it went to a few clubs ...

Interestingly the xxxxx contact is what was in the mail. I guess maybe Live Promotions want more paying traders and less free clubs Evil or Very Mad

Good Afternoon

Many thanks for your patience in regards to being informed about club stands for Billing, please accept my sincere apologies for the delay. I am very sorry to bear the unfortunate news that we have been unable to offer you a free club stand space at this years' Billing Show. We have very tight limits to work to in regards to club stand space. Please accept my sincere apologies as I understand this is upsetting news for you.

Billing is always an excellent show, we have even introduced a second arena and as always I can promise you a good selection of Land Rover trade. Live Promotions in conjunction with LRO have worked hard and are working to bring back the shows to their former glory. We would still hope that you will be visiting Billing Land Rover show and if you wish to camp then please call xxxxxxx to book the camping.

I have attached the LRO booking form for Peterborough and if you return it to me within 14 days then I will guarantee you a place at this show. If there is anything else I can help with in the meantime, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Kind Regards
Claire

It looks as though we can get a guaranteed stand at Peterborough if anyone fancies it?

I need to check they haven't kept the money I sent for the extra places now Rolling Eyes John

I've asked if we can get discounted tickets for anyone who wants to go. I may go for the day still to meet up with those who are going. John

I for one won't go to just park in the carpark and walk around, that would be a waste of time - the whole point was to meet other forum members and get to know people. Considering some of the mega-obscure clubs they have had in the past this smells fishy to me, more likley they don't want to offere *any* free stands. I wonder if their tune would change if we offered to pay (not that I am suggesting we do). I may be up for Peterborough, will have to have a think about it.

That's a shame, no stand or freebie tickets (that could be the issue though? - who knows)

I'll be up there for the weekend anyway, so if anyone wants to meet up for a beer, I'll most likely be slumped in a deckchair, toasting my toes on a BBQ with some buddies (assuming some nice sunny weather Thumbs Up )

I already paid for my tickets and pitch so all good. Maybe we need an unofficial 'stand' in the camping area?

Who all is still going to this show and what days ? Thinking about going, but was really more interested in if we had a club stand as it would have given others a chance to meet that haven't met before...

Please do not ask me for our opinion of the show orgainisers.

So did you get a stand booked in the end? I see the exhibitor list hasn't been updated for a while, so hopefully you have sorted it out.
