I want to get to a good few this year. The G will be done so no excusses. Hopefully get to as many as i can afford and meet some of you guys along the way. Polo show, ed38, g40 group bash and players maybe??

Bugjam, RTTS, VanFest boooooooooooooo at no Action this year :(

I've never actually been to the polo show even though it's not far from me.  Maybe this year is the year!

I'll no doubt be going to BVF, Polo Show, Edition38, tatton park, gti spring fest, club g40 rally(!)... and possibly some more I've forgotten about.

Definitely Polo show and Stonor Park, hope to get to Bristol Volksfest too. Went to ED38 last year, was properly skanky as said above... not too bothered if i dont go again tbh.

think Ed 38 realised they'd taken it too far.  They should Fcuk off the big beer tent/dance hall, or maybe just have a bar.  Ed38 should be about the cars and chilling by a bbq in the eve with a spot of camping, simples!!!!!!!

getting rid of the "rave tent" might be just what the show needs actually!

Aye, ED38 was full of a bunch of pricks in daddies lexus this year..oh and the tiolets!

For all the bad press ED38's been getting I'm still going to make an appearance, at the end of the day the organisers know they've taken it too far commercially and I'm convinced they will transform it into the show it was 3 years ago and crack down on the pricks who have since ruined it.  Personally as long as I'm with my mates camping with a few beers, campfire, Checking out cars and generally catching up thats what makes shows Golden for me.  Show n shine is nice and few trade stands are a bonus. ;)

yeah I'll still go, still had a cracking time last year.  Just didnt go in the rave tent much, mainly hung around the top area of camping.  We were lucky to get a decent camping spot in the top field too.  The bottom field looked like carnage had occurred on sunday morning, complete with an upturned mk3 polo!

na ED38 this yr for me was full of nooobs.  Catching up with mates was good as was auto jumble but its too loud and boisterous for me... and i like a bit of loudness and boisterousness!

Sounds like you guys had it rough at ed38 2009. It was the first time me and a couple of mates had been and we got there friday eve and had to leave due to work commitments late saturday afternoon so didnt see any of the carnage. Did notice a few dicks turning up during saturday though to be fair but then thats seems to be normal nowadays..

is there any shows up nearer the borders? as most of the shows are to far south for me to drive to in the G. i tend to get tired driving long distance.

Reckon I'm gonna go to a few of the lower key ones this year, some of the "big" stuff has lost it's appeal for me these days....

If your in the Essex area you should definitely check out the elemental show in the Stansted area, Nice mix of aircooled and watercooled and a relaxed atmosphere which is always good!
