 I went yesterday (20/11). Drove there in my van. Parking is £8.00 but if you follow signs for train station you will A, park closer to the event than if you use the designated car parks & B, only pay £5.00 to park for the day. Not sure if the same fees apply during the week though?
 I look forward to this show every year & this year was better than ever for me. I bought a new BKS one piece leather suit, an AGV S-4 helmet & some new Richa boots all for 400 notes. Beat that! The "ramped up" free style stunt arena type thing was fantastic as were the dolly birds who seem to be around every corner. I am seriously considering a return visit before it all ends next weekend. Cannot recommend this enough.  8)
