An observation from Pickering..
From an enthusiasts point of view probably the worst display especially remembering those of my childhood - when it was a traction engine rally. The showmans engine line has gone, instead they are scattered around with the modern and vintagae fairground rides and attractions mixed. The new arena is pointless, a fenced loop, nice.. Less entrants which given the goings on last year was of no surprise.
After visiting on thursday morning a return was put in place, with inlaws for the evening event last night, and can say the comments made above by woody and mikem were justified, the travelling youth certainly made their mark, kids as young as ten with pints of lager and gangs of teenagers drunk out of their heads make for a fantastic family evening out...
