    Totally agree with you cash, however i'll be going anyway no matter the cost. It's in my opinion the best military show of the year, closely followed by the military odyssey show mind ;).

    On a side note, should any memebers want any photos taken, where should I post them? On this thread? Thanks guys.

    An impressive event. Have been there for the first time.

    I think it is good that they show as well Axis vehicles to have some sort of a counterweight to all the hundreds of Landrovers and Jeeps ;-). But what I found fairly disgusting was that nearly all Germans were playing SS. There was hardly a vehicle or a uniform without "SS". Remarkable that those SS players were not Germans but mostly French and Dutch... but since obviously the uniform had taken over their minds one could not see the difference :).

    All,
    We had a very good show, made a lot of new friends, a couple from here, which was very nice.
    RE the prices, I agree it is ridiculous the cost for children, the greed of the Hop Farm (alledgedly) I'm afraid. We were there on Sunday and we set up on Monday, burger and chips was £6.60, as soon as we got to wednesday, the first public day it was £9.60 at the same van. A rip off, the Ice Cream vans have to pay £500 per day just to be there, I guess thats why the Hop Farm is looking to be floated on the stock exchange. That said it is the best show of its kind, and as I said we had a ball, looking forward to next year already!!
    Will post some pix ASAP.
    Cheers
    Jim
