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,

I will not be put off going to this event with my grandchildren there is good and bad among all comunities we are going with our caravan as we did last year but notice the new management state in the booking rules of the camping area NO VANS PICK-UP TRUCKS OR CARAVANS OVER 22FT if they inforce this rule it could cause problems with travellers who only have vans & pick ups this rule applies at Dorset Steam Fair every year and does work.
Any way lets hope for good weather and a good time for everyone

Just been on site today,all looking good. The bridge is much better this year and in a better location. The new campsite looks good,should be more space and less congestion now you dont have to go down the narrow Haygates Lane. The most important part of the infastructure is in place,the bars . Just need some good weather and everyone will have a good 4 days.

I use a 4x4 pickup with a purpose built canopy over the back as my everyday vehicle, why should I be banned from the public campsites at Pickering and Dorset because of my choice of vehicle. Dorset actually state no vans or pickups with the exeption of Landrovers is that fair?

Have been camping at Pickering since Tuesday,
Disabled campsite long way from showfield, no lighting at night to find way back to caravan.
Totally agree with post about showmans line up they were all over the place much better in the " famous line up ". hardly any engines their this year 59 accourding to programme
excluding minitures.
Rather disapointing to be honist.
Enjoyed seeing lightning 2 back also Dr Busker and tractor pull.
Not sure if will go next year.
