flat as a pancake, mainly grass and an old runway and no off road course

as seen here http://www.multimap.com/s/jtQkOws2

They've maybe bought a JCB ..

theres no explanation on web site why they decided to change? cant see billing wanting to bin them off,and they are calling it LAND ROVER MAX! could be a mistake with the credit crunch kicking in a lot of people dont like change

i know there was some issues with marshall training going wrong with some of them going off piste and being idiots upsetting the landowner giving a local club they belonged to a bad name getting banned from training and helping out but they were there helping out due to lack of marshalls at the event Jai

good for me though, straight down the A17 for 10mins and I'm there....

Aye if I'm still oop narf it'ull be eazzy fur me ta git ta it anorl.

newark show ground has good facilites and caravan parking. the site is very good.

True, for the off road course just do what TopGear do and drive over the caravans

Billing is still on apparently. Seems the landy mags are playing spiteful brats with each other. LRM has decided to leave Billing due to the fact it's a waterlogged heap of **** that's rife with crackheads off the adjoining estate and tossers among the landrover world robbing people blind and stripping each others landies on the campsites.

So LRO been the friendly caring Mag that it is. Has stepped in and decided to **** on LRM's bonfire by hosting a show at billing on the same weekend.

Childish fooking twots int they.

well thats easy then, go nick some stuff off wagons at Billing and go sell them at newark..

**** that i hate thieving little scum bags like that... If i ever see anyone going near a landy.. heads will be caved and explored with a spoon

Not far for me either if I was still living at RAF Morton Hall.

I have heard that billing are spending £9million this year on improving the facilities? we'll see if it makes a difference? I will still be at billing selling CB's and accessories, it will have an effect on our trade thats for sure!!

why would you still want to go to billing and sell cbs when the show will be at newark??

Because if you bothered to read the posts. You'd have seen that Billing is still on and on the same weekend. LRM ran it last year and have decided to move it to newark this year. So LRO been the bastids that they are, have decided that Landrover shows aren't there for the landy owning public. They're about making money and ****ing off the opposition, and so they've approached Billings management and arranged to hold a landrover show at Billing on the same weekend.

Nope Billing and Peterborough are several months apart. But they do run the risk that if they make a bollocks of Billing that people will avoid Peterborough show as a way of protesting.

My view is that LRO are trying to score points off LRM and hoping that by running Billing on the same weekend. Newark will fall flat on it's face and LRM will lose money on the deal.
