/\ Personally I like it.
A long way off being the worst in my opinion, Although as above I still think of it as second best to Peterborough, alright it has its problems and ill certainly be keeping an eye on mine but I still enjoy it and always a good chance to catch up with people. Im looking forward to it along with people i know who are going up and still think of it as one of the best shows to go to. Say hi if you see me  Defender puma dormobile camper |

Just Spent two days at billing - show seemed smaller than ever, heard the cleaners say three toilets had been smashed in the ladies & one in the gents ??? Classy !!!
Arena - poor - same stunt rider as ever....... Far to many cars driving around all day - seemed like we had to constantly move out of the way on the 'pedestrian' area Heard a few stall holders having stock pinched £2.50 for a crap coffee £4.50 for a crap burger ..... Not blaming the stall holders they have to cover their costs but really ?? We love the shows - spent a few hundred this time but not sure if I'd go back next year - Peterborough is much better in my opinion |

I went on Friday first time for about 4 years and it was awful....luckily I did not have to pay to get in.
More like a market than a LR show, very few stands selling LR related goods. |

It's worth bearing in mind that Billing is open all year round to people who go there for recreation, so the vandalism may or may not have been caused by show visitors. I'll admit I really don't like the site at all, having regularly attended another show there in the past.
We went there for a ride out yesterday as I wanted to get used to my new 110 van (which I'm very pleased with) but having paid £30 for the two of us to get in, we only stopped for just over an hour. I saved £4 on a glove box for the van though.... |

I decided not to bother... And will see what the weather is doing for Peterborough
As I may of mentioned before, I went to the indoor 4x4 show with my Jimny and that was a rubbish show... I do hope Peterborough is better than you guys say billing is. |

We went yesterday, our first show. Looked and had the feel of an auto jumble sale. But we only went primarily to see the quality of the FCX Leather and v good it is too, will order some shortly.
 Spoke with CSK to organise a waxoyl treatment and then on to Bell auto to discuss tuning/remaps.
So mission accomplished. Myn. Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast. |

On Saturday we had a guest spot on the Land Rover Monthly stand where we carried out some improvements on one of their vehicles
Caught up with a few other forum sponsors which is good! Made a nice change being at a show, having good weather and not having to work too hard. Brendan |

For what it's worth it was the first time I had been and at £30 for the family plus some dodgy food prices it was a very expensive few hours.
That said well worth seeing the guys from csk, bas, urban truck and fcx. As usual excellent standards and vehicles from these professionals! Paul |

For me despite a 700 mile round trip I enjoyed the show as I got from it what I was looking for. £260 worth of new hard to get parts for £40! Great weather and a chance to catch up with friends.
