Understood. I can see how the horrible conditions can supercede the event. A shame, that. Takes all the fun, and picture taking, out of it. Maybe next year will be better.

Hi Rick,

I can understand your frustration with all the posts about the mud however hang in there, as Chris has said I'm sure there will be plenty of pics as soon as everyone gets back - remember the show goes on until Sunday and many of the members are there for the duration, then they have to return home, only then will they be able to post pics.

With so many events cancelled around the UK its great to see that the show has gone ahead, even with the most testing of conditions. I undetstand from the posts that the organisers have done all they can to enusre that it runs as smoothly as possible, obviously there are going to be issues, but I am sure these arise out of good intentions.

Chris's most recent post shows just how vunerable the whole place is to a heavy shower or more prolonged light rain, it also shows that with a bit of a dry spell things can dry up within the course of a day. I think that the whole event shows a sort of 'Blitz Spirit', where everyone involved makes the best of it. I also cant attend, but for all those who have, or will be attending, the stallholders, organisers and everyone involved you all deserve a pat on the back - well done and lets hope the sun shines on all next year!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to all pics upon your return - ordnance and general showground pics alike - this is one show that I am sure everyone will remember!!!!!

all the very best Kev
