i was told weeks before that the BBQ vendors spots had been filled, i asked purely because i was certain a few teams would have liked to earn some money back by selling to the public, when i asked on Saturday morning who was turning up and was told no-one i was, welll, uuummm shocked. After the wind marquee incident it was head down and carry on. My priority has always been to the teams, RSQ and Kids Q competitors which is why i have never thought about starting my own event!!
Surrey County Show had just under 28k people there this year and paddle had 50k there last year so all in all without other events booked in and new ones that seem to be cropping up we are doing well for our partners.
