Default Will shows be quiet this year??

Does anyone think the attendances at the shows will be quiter this year given the current financial climate???

Or will people simply target the larger events such as ford fair?

There might be more bargains to be had from traders that are there

I'll still be going anyway, always nice to have a blast out in the car and have a wander around at shows.

im only looking to go if the weather is good...went to a few last years that were just total wash outs and wasnt worth the entry fee let alone the petrol!

I think traders will be out in fewer numbers this year due to costs

I'll still do FITP and Ford Fair easily. Those are the only two I would attend anyway.
