For my two pennies worth

Im from the midlands, and personally speaking I Like the Kent County Show ground bags of space etc.

My concern like some of the residents is the lack of entrance and exits it will be mad, get google maps up and have alook you will see what I mean, that said it did need to move from the hop farm as it was such a cramped venue I for one hated it, I hope they have two arenas at the new venue one for the renactors and our vehicles one for the modern post ww2 vehicles

So...its happened folks.....finally all the negative texts/e mails and comments to me have nearly stopped..thanks for their support!!!!(not!!..and i no who they are!!!)...

over the next week i will be posting the complete layout of the living history areas available to us and my plans for the future of these fields.

pretty much everything else has been explained and the OFFICIAL websites and forums have all the info now.
For the final and last time to those who keep telling me its too small a site...actually we have more acres available here to use than we did at old hop farm....185 compared to over 200 at the revival and there are actually around 4-5 different entraces to the site depending on which field you will be on. .....so thats that one sorted!!!!

will post more soon..as you can imagine the entire organising team are flat out at present so bear with me folks....

true kevin however the beach at hythe is all reddish pebbles having holidayed there for several years and know the place well, great spot to be honest as it canterbury about 19 miles away a family member lived there for a few years at one stage, and the people and city are fabulous. so gregg looking forward to 2013 and the show and best wishes to every one, also to kevin at the 1918 society see you all soon and to big kevin as well thanks for the invite to the new event you will be running.

I looked the venue up on Bing Maps last night. It's not far from the Headcorn or Lympne Aero Classic show venues.

Well I'm looking forward to this! New site & hopefully new oppertunities! The old show was becoming to commercialised, to many stalls not dedicated to our hobby & selling tat! Things can only get better & all the best to rex & the team for taking this decision!
the day will not save them & we own the night!
