was the arb show any good this year

[jojam]

We sadly didn't think it was as good as last year.But meetin some of you guys made up for it.I thought the catering was quite good on the friday but they obviously underestimated on the saturday,oops.thought they were qiute reasonable and great value for money compared to the highland show!Would make the trip down next year hopefully for a bit more of an AT social event.

i think its a good idea to turn it into an arb festival.. but from my experience doing demos. i found it very demanding spending loads of time showing kids how to climb trees. great for them but bloody boring.. ok if there was a small charge and donated to some good cause.

i wish the big wigs at the top of the AA & the ISA would swallow their differences and work together and create a show that hosts the competitions and demos all at one site.

Ditto that mr magee.

It would be great to have live bands in the evening and camping, with lots of workshops for the kids, lots of demonstrations, lots of local ales and cider etc etc.

 

Make it into a family thing that you can spend a relaxed weekend at without rushing around trying to look at everything and try/buy stuff all in a few hours.

Alot more folk would turn up from further away i should imagine.

 

It would be like an arb festival...

Anyone with me on this?

Wow!! Great finaly some one is thinking the same! We,ve been saying for years that it would be excellent if there was some evening afternoon entertainment and camping!

 

Unless you want to buy cheap kit or have never been before it is soooooo boring:thumbdown:!!

 

My Mrs was bored stiff!!! How about putting a bit of fun into it! Come on AA sort yer self out! Less stiff upper lip!
