Hopefully going on Thursday as I’ve been promised two free tickets . [emoji849]
Not going,
Too many queues to get in,
Too expensive to get in,
Too crowded once we’ve got in,
To many stalls flogging kitchen knives and other junk I don’t want or need! ffs if I wanted to go shopping I wouldn’t pay to get in the shop.
Will probably go cart muck instead....
Baa Humbug

Typical Yorkie . [emoji106]
Yep YAMS is way better.
Final nail for us with the GYS we took our (at the time) 2 year old in a pushchair as well.that was just painful dodging round the millions of other people who couldn’t step to one side for a second.
Edit the only thing worse is that gawd awful countryside live thing they put on in autumn. That really is dire.

Fashion show is worth a look [emoji85]and the missus likes it
Usually see plenty of folks and more 'farmy' than it was a few years ago

We tend to go on a Thursday as it's quieter.
Not going this year, we can't be bothered paddling around all day plus I'm too busy with work to take a day off

Onve every 10 years is about right, or when you get a free ticket.

Show team are there. Someone has to stay at home & keep the wheels turning. 
As mentioned above, too much tat
Similarities to the Royal. where the farm livestock showing was the last to die
The wearers of bowler hats don`t see they have a problem

Giving it a miss this year, been for the last few. But at nearly 30quid to get in its too expensive.
Have contemplated taking cattle up but again expensive plus its a long week to be away. Quite a few of the regular exhibitors I know are never that complimentary about the facilities/stewards etc
