Popped in to see you all.

Alright it was a bit late in the day, but not too late for the guys on the gate to relieve me of £15.

Sorry Matt, I headed for home just before noon. Luckily I packed my camping kit up first thing; It chucked it down about 10.30 and as soon as it eased off, I went. Light drizzel through Brum' and dried up about Stafford.

Sorry Matt. As Adi says we all packed up early as it was pissing down most of the morning, and there were very few members of the public walking around the site.

Lovely day on Sunday though :mrgreen:

In your (soggy) shoes I would have done the same thing, the whole place was dead.

I'd aimed to get there before lunch, but visited an old friend on route.

Ben (9) and I pottered around the booths and contemplated a T70 build.

I came up to the stand for a nosey, why had all the Royals taken over? Rather annoying. Plenty of unused space over near the RHOCaR pitch, perhaps next year is time for a different location?

I daren't tell the truth here, but ....

The Royale owners have always been perched slightly awkwardly on the corner below us. Last year they had more cars than usual and struggled to fit in.
This year, the show organisers pushed them further around the corner, and gave more space to Rawcus, who we know never turn up. This pushed them round towards us, and they had lots of cars turn up too.

I thought things worked fine, as we had less cars than previous years, but next year we will make sure that we get the show organisers sorted so that we all have enough space.

The show organisers have got their JPSC marker back now !
