Decisions...decisions..

Alex

In a word NO. Save your money and go to Lincoln a couple of weeks later. More engines, better facilities and better show all round.

Mike,how will more engines and better facilities make it a better show for Alex? he is asking from a trade point of view. In your opinion Lincoln is better,you may be right but it doesnt stop 10s of 1000s going to Pickering ,which is what traders need.

Because the question he asked was, "IS it a good show"

[steamsec]

But Mike does your opinion that Lincoln is better make Pickering a bad show? Alex could do both as they are weeks apart, some good weather at both shows and he could buy a new van .

Fair point. I suppose I was looking at it more from an enthusiast point of view, as opposed to a stall holders.

I guess its a steam rally Woody,thats what it says on the tin .The story I read today in the York Press quoted the travelers as saying some were going to Pickering some down south. I dont see the point you are trying to make,nearly every steam rally I have done in the last 10yrs has had travellers in or around it,
