Went today thought it was pretty good tbh, my son has autism and he told a JCB rep that the paintwork and stickers really let them down. Poor chap tried to defend it but my son wasnt letting it go. The chap said it was due to the time of year the machine is made. So my son asked him what time of year is best to buy one then. Also got to meet Tom Pemberton by chance, really nice guy. Next year will go for both days and enjoy a beer or 2.

It’s a shame a company the size of jcb cannot afford a temperature controlled spray booth to paint there machines. Do they paint them outside still?🫣

Doubt I’ll bother going again luckily only 20 mins away,. Walked round everything in 3-4 hours.. spoke too the people I wanted too speak too but too many 14 year olds walking round in big groups for my liking couldn’t get near anything for kids.. when I was a lad you were only allowed too go with dad now they’re there in army’s 🙈😂 preferred it when it was outdoor

Had a good mooch around it yestderday & the amount of young farmers getting there pics taken with Kaleb Cooper was unreal, fair play too the lad mind.
Yes that i assume HS2 carryon outside NEC/M42 is crazy.
So pleased us rural northerners dont live n work anywhere near all that carryon.
Getting home once onto the M42 was a doddle last night tho. felt sorry for the vast tailbacks of stationary traffic heading the other way tho.
Sum up good event well organised, charge all those that want too be there for genuine reasons £20 & get rid of the tyre kickers which might make all brands/colours attendance afforable?
fours years since weve been & its a pleasure no sub zero temps & or mud n clarts/wet tramping about outside them days are long gone iam afraid.
Look forward to next year. (Some of the prices of kit mind ive no idea how there going to sell stuff)
