Was a right mess-up with the judging of the Pride & Joy class, that's for sure! Was also annoyed that my previous just polished shiny car being covered in dust from the constant stream of cars exiting the show and non-stop light rain from mid-day onwards, so it ended up looking a right mess!

I thought the judging in some classes weren’t up to scratch. I did see that some judges were up to spec and backed by knowledge of the cars and respected within the industry, but other classes were just a joke... The weather didn’t help and the lack of advice that Henley was going to be one way and jammed up should have been advised by the idiot operating the pa system. The miss vw bit was nothing short of embarrassing and ended up being boring.

They should really chance the format, rid themselves of the compare and... Dj? Who played the same 6 songs most of the day, and I think I heard the 80 degree joke 8 times..

Live music with some local bands, better judging with more than one judge in all of the classes, a beer tent would of been attractive..! The day really dragged out..
On the flip side and non event organised there were some great cars there and the crowd were all great people.

well at least someone is putting something on right?? Its better than having nothing.

I feel that perhaps they have lost touch with what "some" people want..

I can see where Vex is coming from

The PA bloke was a trifle 'tired' imo... like being at some kind of school fete, I know he is popular with some but its not my cup of tea.

The music wasn't great at all... Bros?! I mean.. wtf!?

And I could see Henley becoming clogged... I left at 1pm and it took me about half an hour to get through the other side so god only knows what it took those leaving with the masses :(

I can't comment on the judging.. I didn't enter S&S.. the rain wouldn't have helped.

I am glad I left when I did to catch the last two races of the BTCC

Yes I know what you mean about the judging in my class there were only 3 cars the judge took about 3 mins to do each car but they are all volanters and had more than 1 class to do you sound like you know a thing or to why not put your name down to do some judging next year ? .
