New For 2012
Those who have attended for a number of years will have seen the odd change over the years.
We have a few more for 2012.
It was hoped to completely change the order of the main marquees, effectively swopping us with Beer Tent. As the water pressure on site is bad and environmental health insists there is a fresh water supply to the Beer Tent. The extra footage would effectively kill the supply. So this is not possible. However we swoped the Model and Craft Marquee's over in 2011.
This will remain for 2012. As we are now further up the field and next to the Beer Tent.This did cause us some camping issues making space available to us much more limited and some will not be as close to the Craft Marquee as in the past. The day parking area will remain the same but is now at the end of the Model Marquee, this is stewarded by us. Anyone not happy with the close parking may used the main show car park. Also we will be able to hear the live entertainment better, may be a good or not late at night.
