Bit of a mud bath from what I've just heard and very quiet.

Saving myself for Okehampton next week, better weather forecast if the sun makes it to okehampton, every time I drive up the A30 it’s always raining there.

Someone once told me it only rains once in Okehampton, once it starts it never stops

They have been very unlucky with the weather.

But it was a very big mistake for Honiton to go from a 1 day show to a 2 day show!

If you really need to ask that question then words really do fail me!

Ha ha i never knew you stalked me as well

But joking aside Honiton is not big enough to make a 2 day show work, they do not get anywhere near enough people attending, people go to a one day show to catch up with friends etc they have not seen for weeks/ months, trouble is with a 2 day show you will miss most of these people ( and that is just one example )

Honiton were very unlucky with their weather but moving to a two day show was always going to be a disaster for them anyway!

A lot of trade stands at the show are very unhappy for various reasons and many are saying they wont come back next year, lets hope they do and the show comes back strong in 2022 with a traditional one day show!

 

[Henarar]

Someone found the show a bit exhausting

 

[Henarar]

A bit of sip sups soon got him going though
