No real difference other than people tend to filter away on the Sunday.

If only going for one day I would be influenced by the weather and make my mind up nearer the date.

Not forgetting of course its a Saturday to Monday event so maybe, as already said weather permitting, Sunday might be the best day

Don't think they run on the Friday now the event is over a bank holiday. Be plenty of us there Friday afternoon if you fancied staying over Dorian...

Yes indeed Blue I'd like to... Hopefully work won't interfere as it usually does on a bank holiday! :roll:

I love this event and very local to me. Im away this year so cant make it (Monaco GP or Garys picnic....tough one but Monaco won by a whisker! :D :D ).

Have a great time men.

If this continues as I hope it does, maybe next year I could organise this as an MMA event if we all want that and get a group camping area etc organised??

Cheers Steve

Having religiously attended this event for years and years, through thick and thin, through when no bugger showed up right through the good ones and all in between... now for the 3rd year on the bounce I've been double booked! :evil:

Oh well. Have fun, all.
