I think it's rather the point that they aren't

The rumour mill is that for reasons untold LRE have decided to change venues, this gives them the opportunity for more space, potentially better facilities and a revamped layout to accommodate more pitches, something which the site at billing aquadrome has been struggling to offer for the last few years.  It also allows a decent attempt at improving security as there is no public right of way across the middle of Kelmarsh.

Billing Aquadrome however would prefer to keep the show there, since it is probably quite a revenue earner.  Since the history of the show is that it is held at Billing they approached (or were approached by) the other magazines who wanted to host their own show and use the name of "billing" and (presumably the better parts of) it's reputation to give them a fighting chance.

Hence, the traders, visitors, campers and enthusiasts are now stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea with two shows to attend on the same day,  what fun us.

The only question is really which one you think the clubs and traders will be attending.   I am under the impression that Mud-Club will be attending Kelmarsh,  hopefully in an official capacity as will some of the larger traders.   Granted we could have attended the other one, but Billing has been suffering from an acute lack of security and to some extent atmosphere for the last couple of shows, and has been a fire hazard waiting to do the RAs job for them pretty much from the get go;  hence we figured we'd give the other site a try.  

If only we could attend both, or, if only the magazines realised that partaking the michael out of the "community" isn't the best way of getting them to buy your mag as oppose to a rivals :(

Kelmash - billing has had its day and definatly time to move on to better places.

Ben:
I think it'll be Kelmarsh on the Saturday, and if it's any good we'll be back on the Sunday. Otherwise it'll be off to Billing for Sunday.

Got a long list of things to get for the 90, and unfortunately early indications show that half of the people I want to see are at one show, and the other half are at the other!

Cheers

Ben

just been looking at both LRM (billing) and LRE(kelmarsh) websites and it seems some traders have booked both! :?  :?  :?  :?:
