Looks like a mighty fine list of layouts, and some decent trade. Shame its a bit of a trek from the North East. Might have a word with few of 'the lads' to see if a car load can be rustled up for a day out.

Update for the show.
Anyone travelling to the show other than the A46 south.
There is a dog show on the Saturday and an auto jumble on the Sunday.
People travelling north on the A46 or east on the A617, follow road until the A46/A17 roundabout, take the A17 for about 1mile then turn left into Drove Lane, follow road for about another mile past the aviation museum and the entrance is on the left.
People travelling along the A1, forget the A46/A17 exit take the one for Coddington which will take you to the A17, at the roundabout take the first exit and travel for about 1/2 mile then turn right into Drove Lane and as above.
Hope this helps

The free bus is being run by the Vintage Vehicle Society and as far as I am aware it will be a double decker.
