Tip for next year - for inexpensive food try the on site indian/fish and chips takeaway place (just off the show ground- Timber Building) they are very good and not dear, in fact cheap compared to takeaways where we live - Cod & Chips £4.70 which is £6-7 down here in Dorset. Ate there a couple of times and recommended - the curries looked very good as well.

Show food is always V.pricey and thats not something particular to Billing, at every show it costs an arm and a leg unless maybe as mentioned before a local/farmers/specialist food court is there like you get at some of the Game Fairs - Welsh Oggies come to mind Thumbs Up

I seriously hope there isn't another one I don't think I could cope with two! Whistle

On the subject of food, we ate exceptionally well as ever with superb food appearing as if by magic - thanks to Karen. I learnt long long ago to avoid food at shows it is invariably mediocre and overpriced. You need to sell a hell of a lot of cups of coffee and hot dogs to recoup the cost of their pitch

For future reference a lot of the local takeaways will deliver if you arrange to pick it up at the gate.
Last night we had a Chinese which we ordered over the Internet from tong hong and I nipped out to pick it up. It was a meal for four, cost £40 and would probably have fed six!
On previous visits we have had pizza delivered in.

Simon, my little lad MASON cost me fortune on the RC track.....his best was 1.26 I believe....


Yeah, he did very well, I think he enjoyed himself (at your expense... Rolling with laughter ).

I had a go and ran out of time after 5 mins.... Embarassed

The lad who won, Josh, did it in 56 seconds....I think he was a bit of a bandit...he had some of these RC trucks already so knew what he was doing. Still a very impressive performance.

Cheers

Simon

Thank you for your kind words Simon (Couplands) Bow down

See you all at Peterborough Thumbs Up


No worries Matt, your work is a credit to you.

I never got time to come and get that cubby box at the end of the show, just ran out of time. I'll get one at the next show.

Cheers

Here is some video of the Buxton & District Land Rover Club (BADLRC) stand, showing the RC trials track (approx. 4 mins in).

cheers
