Abingdon Air & Country Show
Just picked up on this thread from our show back in May!!!
We have started planning for Sunday 8th May 2011 - a week later than normal with (we feel) possibly better results as its not a bank hols weekend & so we can save abit of money by not holding crews (no offence) etc over from a Friday (or thursday) to the following Tuesday morning & associated ground equipment we need.
Secondly, again being a non Bank hols weekend we potentially may attract more people as the majority would be back from hols, and lastly we are in line to gain assets in both the Flying Display / Static / Ground attractions line.
It a gamble for us but we think its a good gamble moving away from our traditional early Bank hols weekend.
After this years episode of the combination of weather / Defence Estates we are pretty confident to bring back a full show once again with RAF, Army & possibly Naval support together with International support once again within our limited funds, tho we have been out and about to a number of RAF & non aviation events fundraising.
