I'm still planning on coming, but my kids waver between excitement and fear daily, so I'm holding off committing until the excitement becomes more regular and the fear subsides.

Have been tent hunting (feel my 2 person tent might be too small with fidgeting kids) so its a positive sign :)

No worries Mark, we can't do them all!

Who else? The Herts showground is very easy to get to and after the quality of last year's show, even if you're only going for the music you'll be happy.

Sounds good - a three man dome will do you!

I'll be there on the sunday but no car as yet, putting it all back together is taking a little longer than expected, its a busy time of year for me work wise, everyone wants a new roof before the winter. At least I can see an end, suprising what a paint job can do to the motivation should at least make some events this year :lol:

We'll be down for the day on Sunday. Hope the weather is as good as last year :oops:

Beatles? :pukeleft: Sorry, not for me. I sat through them last year and thought they were sh*te but that's my opinion and we all know what they say about opinions. :pottytrain2:

C'mon, you mean the queen tribute band that were there last year, surely they were the best tribute band!? Just close your eyes........and put your fingers in your ears. :shock:
I can still hear the lead singers rendition of the Freddy Mercury live aid vocal solo, ringing in my ears. It takes a long time to get over something like that. I still have painfull flashbacks!:roll:
