Maybe. Won some free tickets, so just need to decide if it’s worth the diesel to get there. I thought it was pretty average last year. Prefer Peterborough on the whole. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Considering going even though it's a LONG drive for me, no Billing this year as last year was so poor but will definitely be at Peterbrough

Did anyone camp last year?

One of my mates went and said that the field he was in was a bit ropey.

I would quite like to go but I feel a bit spoilt by Peterborough and it's a tad closer for us to get to.

But the weather is good at the moment. We could be building arks by September.

What a fantastic day out first Kelmarsh show and it was superb. The off-road course was fun although could have done with some rain

and we spent a good while there. Only problem is the amount of cash I burned though buying stuff stuff for defender.

2013 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

We went for the day yesterday.

Spent a small fortune but on the whole well worth the visit. We got caught in the rain towards the end of the day but we were pretty much done by that time anyway.

Seemed a good show and better than the recent Billing show.

Sad news it was spoiled by some light fingered muppets who think it's acceptable to help themselves to others property. Stu...

More thefts?

I was quite happy with the security. I lost my wristband on sat, when I tried to get back into the campsite was refused entry. Eventually the security guard followed me back to my landy to ensure it was mine and i was camping. So that was nice.

Decent show weather was insane. Though my OzTent performed amazingly well! So happy with it

Got some great deals too! Instagram @defender_ventures

Sad old state of affairs.

If organisers don't get to grips with the problem, in this day and age, trade stands will just not bother going.

It seems that theft at these shows is normal now. Unless of course it has always been a problem, we just never had a way of finding out about it.

It is a shame as the very few may ruin it for the majority.

I'm glad that most people seemed to have enjoyed the show.

It simply can’t be allowed to happen and we shouldn’t allow ourselves to consider it the norm. Stu...

Weather wasn't great - broke the awning in the wind. Tent held up OK though and the show was good

Some random pics I took (will upload all of them to my blog and post later):
