Billing off rd v Kelmarsh

Hi all,planning my first ever land rover show but not sure which one to go to either the Billing off rd at the end of June or the Kelmarsh at the end of July.What's the general consensus on which one is the better show,won't be taking mine off rd if I go to Billing.

2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

Peterborough in September. The biggest show these days.

The other 2 split the attendance at what was already a declining show.

I wouldn't take a 90/110/defender to either.... you hear of far too many getting pinched in the carpark by scrotes.

billing is long past its sell by date.

very high chance of something walking or maybe the whole car disappearing.
not bothered with kelmarsh

been to peterbog since it started.

not going this year after the very poor security last year. we had folk on the stand i was sleeping on during the night trying to break in.did the stand next to us and opposite us plus lots of other traders.

security were noticeable by their absence.previous years where much better.

folk racing landies up and down the trade stalls footpaths with drunks hanging off them late at night says it all really.

wont be wasting my time or money until it improves.

go figure why so many traders dont bother to attend.

Gave up going to Billing years ago, too many thieving scrotes and blatant with it. My mates van was entered through the side sliding door while he was talking to someone on the other side. That was it for him as a trader, never went again.

Hi,

I have not been to the show at Kelmarsh, however it s a much nicer venue than Billing.

The offroad course at Kelmarsh last year was in the quarry at Avalanche Adventure- Sibbertoft, and is a pretty small venue.

There is the possibility I may attend one or the other as they are both fairly close for visiting relatives, but as others have said, lock up your Landrovers..........
