For me it took three hours to get there from west Oxfordshire by train and a small fortune in fares, but a very enjoyable day, always bought something good there too. Derek. |

![]() 1619 forum posts 201 photos | I would love a show in the south, I was disappointed to see the Nelton show in Detling move to Newark. It seems they have them where the population is densest by that I mean more potential customers within travelling distance. We watched the Ally Pally show diminish over time and it's demise was not unexpected. Detling seemed well supported judging by the numbers there, so we need one near a well populated area, Home Counties should do it. So why have we not got one? Ron |

Ron The Detling show was good and when I went you could not move sometimes not even being able to get to the stand that I wanted |
