  1. Hello chaps, I went for the day on Saturday arrived about 09:30 and was directed in the car park very effectively and had only one group ahead of me at the pay booth ! Staff all very professional and polite as ever ! First thought was the field we normally camp in was very sparse like the Saturday before the show starts really ! Walked around to the stalls through the living history area which didn't seem as busy as usual either ! I missed seeing the big stall on the corner with all the army surplus stuff at reasonable prices and GI Joe also ! The other stalls didn't seem very busy either for a Saturday ! I also noticed a few selling unsavory items not connected with the preservation movement ! The battle re enactments are only visable if you are at the front rail really ! The Classic car display was about ten cars ! There were three steam engines making a nice little agricultural display where the funfair usually is and an air rifle shooting gallery in front of the grandstand took up quite a big site ! The model display was not as big as I remember it in the grandstand either I also noticed the statue of the first world war soldier has gone ! I bought some paint from R and R and two little bits else where ! Had an enjoyable day with good company and then an easy drive home ! I'm gonna spend a day at the Military Show at the Hopfarm next month and then decide when to book my leave for next year . :cheesy:

  2. I noticed last night that the question was asked on 1/6/15 last year and received 60+ replies. Is Milweb less popular, and everyone elsewhere, or is it that many find the War and Peace Revival so much less attractive under new management?

     

    Hi Jules , Me and Dave are not entering any vehicles this year :-( several reasons really , cost is a factor and time to prepare the vehicles for the longer drive there ! I really do miss the Hopfarm and would have gone there like a shot this year the journey is so much easier and the site more pleasant in my opinion :-) I have taken leave from work to coincide with War and Peace as usual so shall use the time and money saved to plod on with Daisy:nut: sadly this means I have no leave left to attend the new show at the Hopfarm in August :embarrassed: The W and P new owners arrangements may have had a slight bearing on our decisions also ! May pop to each show as a spectator for the day to get my fix of sights, sounds and smells for the year !:-D Hope everyone who goes enjoys themselves !
