Trade days are much better as the shows allot bigger and interesting, Not interested in seeing a load of old rubbish in the performance bit, it's just the same old thing over and over,
But as I've got my Daughter wanting to come this year again I'm stuck with Saturday as under 18's are not allowed in the engineering bit which is a pain in the ****
