LRM Show @ Billing - Silly Rules.......

<< < (3/8) > >>

Tommo:
yeah.

What if they were albino people who couldnt come out in the day? they would be well annoyed with you noisily putting your tent up at 10am when they are trying to sleep.

Jake:
Looks like my caravan will be in the farmers field too  ;)
 :D

combatjohnny:
can anyone tell me if you have to ring the farmer up to arrange a pitch or do you just turn up, does anyone have his number.

DEANO3528:
I have a feeling that the farmer has given LRM the job of booking his field as well, like last year.
A lot of the problem is that in the past people did just what they wanted to do, as the Billing staff couldn't care less. Last year was the first time with both new management and a new show organiser.
As a result things were a little confused but lessons were definitely learned.
Hence the pitch marking for the first time, which was hugely unpopular, but no different to any other campsite (except perhaps under the old Billing regime) you might visit.

One of the main problem areas addressed last year was people trying to get in and camp for nothing. In the past there were no proper checks made, but now you have passes, wristbands etc. and the idea is being considered this year of a security fence all around the showground, a la Glastonbury, to stop gatecrashers.
It's fairer, after all you paid your money why should someone else get in for free just because they parked on the industrial estate and came into the show on the footpath?
Just my tenpence-worth as I was involved last year.

schuee:
I totally agree with the principle of wrist bands, and the camping pitches marked out as I can remember Billing as a free for all in years gone by, and sometimes nearly not getting a pitch, though as hrh_dave quoted, there was no mention when LRM first starting advertising booking up for Billing in the mag and on the website, of not being able to arrive on the Friday.
It has certainly put the spanner in the works for our group :x
