Well I came on here to post what a crap waste of space it was to be beaten to it by all of you.

Two and a half hours drive each way, £50 worth of diesel and £28 for entry. 2 hours seen everything, baught nothing despite going with afist full of cash and a shopping list.

Seriously underwhelmed. letters not necessarily in the right order

I spent about £30 on food/drink (non alcoholic) and 50p on a tax disc holder.

Yeah, so to break it down, the tax disk holder probably cost me nearly £200 all in!

Well what a good weekend we had on the Landytown club stand.
Hit and miss with the weather bit we in England arn't we !!.
As to the negative comments........ No matter what event you go to either it a landie show or BTCC, F1 or an airshow, catering prices are always sky high, so probably best to take your own and beat them at their own game.
As to the entry price, it can vary to what club you are in and the size of it. We potentially landytown had over a dozen heavley discounted weekend camping tickets but if we went over that allocation it would have gone to the £50 as mentioned.
You were able to walk round the G4 and Camels stands as far as I was aware as myself and partner did so.
Yes perhaps there are to many Landrover shows and also this one I feel was a day to long and at the wrong time when people are still potentially on their summer Holidays, also accessories for the FFRR are always thin on the ground full stop let alone at shows.

Its not good to hear people had a bad experiance

Dan sorry I didn't get in touch but helping out on our club stand and having a brief look round took up all my time.

If there is anyone reading this who would potentially like reduced rate entry to some shows please have a look at www.landytown.com and their events section and we would be pleased to help out as best we can.

My FFRR did the anniversary run from Gaydon to the show and was in the arena on the Sat with about 30 other RR , it went round the off road course with no damage on Sat afternoon and it also did the twist off on Sun afternoon.
I got alot more people talking to me about the RR after it had got dirty !!!

So all in all for us a good weekend.

I popped over to the Landytown stand actually, I must admit I was really impressed with how friendly the guys at the front were. They made a deffinate good impression of the club, so much so that I will probably join. 10 times better than RRR. I think they said they had a couple of members in Wilts'...

Did they take the rope down on Sunday, you can see it here, it went all round the G4 stand as far as I could see:

I think the rope was there all weekend. We just walked in at the top corner near where the big trailer was , mooched about the L322 because I went to look at the ladder as I really really want a ladder for mine. Nobody stopped us or said anything to us .

You bypassed the rope!? RULEBREAKER!!  

FYi, I sent an e-mail of complaint in which LRM ignored, I then sent it in to every address I could find on the LRM website, which got ignored...

I then rang, and without asking for any more info they just refunded all my money.

So if you were unhappy with the show and you purchased online I suggest you ring and ask for a refund!


Dear Sirs,

I have just returned home from a very disappointing LRM Show. I would like to ask for a full refund of my ticket cost as I feel it just did not offer good value for money, amongst other reasons which I shall detail below.

I arrived at the gate at 20:05, the very first thing I did was apologize for being late as I had just been stuck on the M1 for 3 hours behind a lorry fire. The gentleman I initially spoke to was courteous enough, however he said I would need to speak to "the lady in the orange jacket" before I could go in. Puzzled I pulled over and presented her with my ticket, she said "I was lucky I was being let in at all as it was so late" I explained that there was no time restriction on my ticket, or in any of the paperwork sent to me. I then asked where the RRR was camping as I was supposed to be camping with them. She said you're not camping with them you have a standard ticket. Again I had to explain that I sent an e-mail in that never got answered, and then I spoke to someone on the phone who said it was all fine and just to explain on the gate! After this she refused to let me in at all! I then had to ring someone from the RRR and get them to come to the gate to get her to let me in. This process took about 20-30 minutes, as other people were coming and going un-hindered.

Then on Saturday there was the twist off challenge, I was going to try this on Sunday as my car was on the club display stand on Sat, however, another L322 was in the arena and was mocked and belittled by the commentator so much that I didn't feel as if I wanted to take part. By this time, as he was making jokes at this guys expense and jeering the crowd on, I felt that as a fellow L322 owner I really didn't feel welcome. This is a very sorry state of affairs as in 10-15 years time, the Mk3 will be as popular as the classic is now, putting people off in this way is counter productive.

To add to the above, the facilities were disgusting, the floor in the gents was soaked in urine the whole time I was there and only 3 of the 5 cubicles in the toilet block had locks on the doors. Had this been a £15-£20 event (which I have paid before and had a much better time) I wouldn't have felt the need to complain. The fact that you've charged me £50 (with £10 discount) to exhibit my vehicle and walk around for an hour before all the stalls are done I feel robbed.

I look forward to receiving my refund.

Yours Sincerely,

Daniel Dollin 

Its good you got a refund, but I still think we were at different shows !!

I think it's different if you go with people, ie the other half etc. Also you were involved with your stand and the run which no doubt kept you busy for a few hours etc.

As I went on my own I really did struggle to find things to do. I watched the arena for a bit and walked round the stalls 4 or 5 times on the sat and had 1 bacon roll and 2 burgers!

No way could I have strung this out for 2-3 days!
