Smile Ford Fair Praise !!!!!!!!

now the dust has settled from Ford Fair and can now take stock of the days events, I would like to thank Dan and the Fast Ford team for a job well done , and also huge credit must go to the Future publishing team who handled bookings this year on a first come first served basis which worked a treat, not everyone was happy as there has to be winners and losers in club stand positioning and too many clubs left it until the last minute to book and wondered why they was on the outskirts of the show, we all hope that was a lesson now learnt for 2013.

so raise your glasses to the Ford Fair team

didnt think ford fair was that good this year, didnt seem to be as full as last year, trade area was crap unless you wanted to stickerbomb your car, i was happy with my clubs stand position although i do think its down to who you know that helps stand position. Still enjoyed myself though.

I enjoyed the show, yes the trade stands could have been better, but they can only give trade stands to companies who want them at the end of the day. The PF club stand was well organised and looked good, even if I was stuck at the back lol. Weather was generally good, bit hot and sticky at times but beats constant rain. How early can we book for next year?

Treat this years Chris as a PF learning curve and also take note I owe you a front of stand spot which will happen as it will for Adam, Future pub will start taking booking for Ford Fair 2013 end of the year,

also thanks guys for the kind words as things will only get better, ( sounds like a song)

Nope, nothing to do with that at all, it's simply down to logistics and, for this year, a first come-first-served basis. There's no favouritism despite what people think. It's purely a logistical exercise to fit everyone in!
