I attended Saturday and Sunday, as a punter, camped on site. Security was tight, door staff on the beer tents and I was told four miles of security fencing had been erected. Some fencing was in place inside the site, a fence within a fence, particularly around the stages of Atkinson's and Potto's.
I was in the beer tent until midnight
, no trouble at all. I spoke to people who were there for the four days, didn't hear of anything being stolen or any dodgy activity. I believe some of the full size engine owners were paid in full the Saturday before the show.
Yes, engine numbers were down on previous years but that can be built on. As a full size engine owner would I take my engine? Based on what I saw (others may have a different story) yes I would, maybe this show deserves a second chance?
Some pictures.....
