wheeledhorseman 574 #4 Posted February 10, 2014 Been going to for more years than I care to remember but I've never exhibited there. It's a five day show so as an exhibitor you can count on it taking a week of your time. They do expect exhibitors to be there for the whole show. I'd quite like to do it sometime but it's the time committment that tends to get in the way together with the number of beer tokens I'd get through.

neil 2,409 #5 Posted February 10, 2014 I go every year but have never exhibited , from what i am told, it can be quite hard to get a spot as an exhibitor & Andy is right they do like you top stay all week . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 2,409 #7 Posted February 11, 2014 We're exactly is this show I might be interested in going James James , This is one show that you really dont wanna miss . it lasts 5 days long & is the biggest gathering in the world of steam traction engines , there is also a large tractor section along with stationary engines, heavy Haulage & large vintage sort out market. it cost around £17.00 per adult to enter for the day & trust me you will need more than one day to see it all . infact i would say that you would need 3 days to see everything comfortabley. & you will need to take a tent to camp out , dont just go for the day . The show marks the end of the show season and has some amazing exhibits , There are plenty of videos on youtube about the show , but is is day 1 or 5 videos The show is in a place called Blandford Forum in Dorset http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj6WAjNK_II&feature=player_detailpage#t=3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cam-c121 6 #9 Posted February 22, 2014 I've gone there every year as far as I'm aware. It's a great rally but from what I've heard very hard to get into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
