Its always been my way of thinking that if you want to be seen, wear a high viz. This doesn't mean you become the boss of all before you, it just means you can be seen and are taking your own safety to hand as you see fit.
As for loads of event officials in jackets, to my mind its the wrong way round. Surely it would be better for the general conciousness not to see them all over the place? That way if a load suddenly appear, you'll know something is up and you need to stop what your doing/going etc. Have eyes and ears around for sure, but a name badge (or number) should suffice if instructions are to be given. Personally if folk are accountable for what they do/say I always find them more polite. As for kids in jackets. Get them involved, teach then some skills and yes make them aware of whats what, but do't ever get them to tell me how to drive or behave. All my own opinion of course and my thoughts are not connected to Onslow. |

Onslow,is the best rally in Shropshire for exhibits, I have seen some of the rarest tractors in preservation in the working field.
When I have exhibited I have enjoyed it thoroughly, sadly for personal reasons I did not exhibit this year and to be honest, I missed going, but Ian as for getting out in about a hour, you must be gifted and the the traffic parted in front of you. One engine owner said it was the worst he had ever seen, it took him an hour and a half to get to the lowloader park, never mind loading and exiting from there. I know several trade stand owners, who are debating whether to go next year, though the takings are good, the time taken to exit site is putting them off, they need to replenish stock and get to the next booking.

Speaking from personal experience, I simply cannot think that any trader would refuse to return here because of the delay exiting the site, good shows (from a trading viewpoint) are hard to find! |

Its interesting reading all this bollocks about Onslow.
If reports of getting on site at Dorset are to be believed the Onslow troubles are small fry and show what a well organised show it really is.

I agree with Hedd, the real reason is that the rally site is located on the main trunk road to Mid Wales and most of the population of the West Midlands are having one last trip to the sea side before winter. Little anyone can do regarding the amount of traffic on that road, with the possible exception of holding the rally on an available weekend in the middle of December!

Winter rally, that could break Christmas up a bit! I like the idea! Bank holiday too on Christmas day.
