    Still in two minds whether to go or not. Not going ploughing so might decide to go to this instead. Like snooping around the inventions section and machinery but only money will be spending is the entrance fee :)

    Yeah heard that. Are the parking arrangements fairly decent? Undecided about going to see it, it's approx 3hr drive round trip from Dublin. Would the traffic in the vicinity be a problem? I'd say the show will be enjoyable for most people including city slickers. Good to see shows like this, enjoy it folks.

    go early,
    even at that you will be bested to see all of the show in one day
    but pick what appeals to you & have a safe and enjoyable day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 128 ✭✭Durrus Boy


    Does anyone know if there is a listing of exhibitors available anywhere prior to landing on site? Wasn't one on their web-site during the week. Hoping to do a little business but would be handy if I knew exactly who was there in advance....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,174 ✭✭✭✭Muckit


    There's a full list in farm and plant mag.
