Lauren Child Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Why think of just Kent, we could borrow an LST and go somewhere exotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Could be nicer for the northern type chappies amongst us if it moved more towards the midlands, or is that a racist remark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryH57 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 On reflection I liked Beltring, as the camping was easier for people like me who could not spend 10 days on site. In view of the new 'be on site for the week' rule this year I could just as well come in a civi camper as the public didn't come by my MV where I was camping at all! At Beltring I could still arrive on the last four days and feel welcome by the organisers and still be allowed to park up on my Club stand nearer the action. The other thing at Beltring was the ability to play after hours; I loved the tracked vehicles doing a circuit of all the fields at Beltring and got some good photos but I don't think this happened at Folkestone this year did it! While the arena at Beltring wasn't perfect, the view was much better than the Racecourse where vehicles disappear from view on the far side. Another thing that annoyed a few amateur photographers at Folkestone was the insistence on taping some kind of safety notice to each wooden post in the arena that evidently formed the edge of a 'a vehicle no go area' from that point up to the public barriers; surely these didn't need a notice on each one and instead could be disguised as something else? Even adding fake barbed wire would help make the arena more photo friendly. On this same point it would be good if the white vans, toilets and other plant be moved or at least hidden on the other side of the arena and red an white tape removed. I know that people attend for many reasons and that taking photos is one important reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff66 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 looks good hope they levelled it before seeding as the ploughed field ruts were a pain!and rather than mentioning fields that have been seeded just say all camping display areas have been seeded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I was looking at the official website the other night with the fancy timer. I couldn't find the prices, have they yet to be announced for 2014? What does it typically cost to bring a vehicle in? Just having some crazy thoughts for July 2014 :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I think the price is GBP 25 per vehicle (any type), and includes admission for 2 adults and 2 children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff66 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 approx 30 quid for couple of weeks camping if support vehicle as well another 30 quid ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiketheBike Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I think there are two problems. 1. we have all got used to the Beltring layout, good or bad. When we get used to Folkestone I think we will wonder why we bereaved the loss of Beltring 2. it was the first year. The organisation were pretty agile at this years event (with the stupid one way system being canned mid way through) so I think they did a sterling job, have learnt some things from the new venue and am sure it will be even better next year. I did not feel I needed to stay trhe entire week, and in fact had to leave early due to some work commitments. As for cost, considering the facilities were better, and they kept the cost of camping the same...seems a bargain to me. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meekumslr Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Working in the public transport industry, altough id attend if the show was nearer to the Midlands (living in London), however, for the vast amount of international friends, it is an attractive location. Also, for UK visitors, schools etc, you couldnt get any nearer to a main railway station..... 7 mins to Ashford and only 58 minutes London to Westenhanger. although we're there for our own holiday and fun, without larger visitor footprint, we're snookered.
