Mark Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Bit worried about these prize winners,tell me if i am wrong but i dont recognise the camo on the ambulance,and is that an Austin Gypsy, not ex military.i have only seen one genuine x mil gypsy with glass lenses etc,they were not taken into service.Did you see any Richard.not a good start.:nono:Yes Tony i know you like them ,but yours wasnt x mil either.Dissapointed from London. Catweazle let me answer this one for you, the voting for the show winners was not done by any of the team/organisers it was done by a gentleman of whom has a lot of knowledge of MV's and no knowledge of this forum or it's members, unfortunately due to the turnout of vehicles the ones judged to be the best happened to be some belonging to HMVF members, now take this as we on here have so many members that in future it will be impossible for one of us not to win a prize somewhere. I hope that answers your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Burley Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 As previously mentioned by the Heliops chap.A move to the bank holiday weekend would be a good idea.It would be of benefit to all those that have been snubbed by the organisers of M.O.What done it for me,was the relaxed atomosphere,and none of that health and safety b****cks,that has ruined many a good show.i can see great potential here.:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mark,To be honest my remarks were meant to be fairly light hearted.i dont really feel to put out,do we need prizes. i was dissapointed for you that your local vehicle club chose not to attend,and being a nosey bugger wonder why they advertise with you then dont turn up.How about expanding the event to include all the services AFS .Fire brigade.etc.etc.or even a mini GDSF .i know a man who has just got into tractors who would love it,cant remember his name but grasshopper knows him.Well done again great wk end.CW.

LeeEnfield Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Just re-reading posts here,..........I notice a sugestion of moving show to the bank holiday,..........personally, this would clash with an event I'm already involved with,.apart from a certain OTHER one already held locally,....well, ish in kent;....I've also heard the tails of displeasure, both from traders and punters/reenactors, BUT this show IS still live, and TBH is is really a good thing to pitch M.Mayhem against it. ?? As a conparison, look at Overlord and Troops and Trucks,.........and without getting into any sort of politics,.......to me two local high profile shows, held at the same time, within 50ish miles of each other,......:??? SILLY. Certainly, I think moving it away from the hop/beer festival in town, seems to make sense,...........although I wonder how many of those attending said festival would came to Mil Mayhem instead, I thoroughly enjoyed the show,.......one of the Great ones, for me, this year,..........hopfully, I'll be there next year,.........although quite possibly not, if over the bank holiday.

Marmite!! Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I agree with Andy if MM wants to attract reenactors & traders.. also you may loose out on public attending if it's moved to the same weekend as MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Agreed, the new dates have been posted and we do not clash with MO in fact we are a week before them, the Hop festival was not due to be on the same weekend as us they moved it but we still had about 2000 through the gate, also we are looking for more re-enactors this year without a doubt, so come on you boys we can did some trenches for you.

les freathy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Dont think its been mentioned but the gate prices i thought were very reasonable and that goes a long waywhen families are concerned lets hope the lads can keep to these rates for next year some of the entrance fees at some shows i think at times are well out of order and i know a number of people with kids who have decided its not affordable any more so hopefully MM will change there minds next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
