If you are going over the next couple of days expect the following:

Traffic was good considering it was a weekday.  Signposting bad, but the directions on the passes seemed fine.

Be prepared for a long bumpy walk from the car park.  I think you are ok if you arrive very early, we arrived at 8.15am and found ourselves in the second car park at the furthest point.  Hopefully they may correct that tomorrow as there were so many complaints that those arriving later would get a better spot nearer the showground.

Grass long in the car park, so if wet wear appropriate shoes.  Looked like it might get muddy with anymore rain too.

Grass in rings short, but long outside rings and in tents.

Looked much like any other champ show once inside, shame to lose the shopping avenue that Richmond was famous for.

Catering was the usual horrible burgers and yukky coffee.

Loos were porta loos, but what porta loos, best I have experienced at a dog show.

Overall..........much like any other Champ show with better loos and car parking needs improving (especially as they charged so much for it)

Must say I found the show OK but when we got there before 7am we couldn't take the dogs in till 7:30....luckily being parked in disabled it wasn't much of a worry,  However a friend was parked along way away when I went to find her....then pulled the trolly ALONG way....hmmm....well at least the trolly behaves!!!!!

well i am very lucky it only  8 miles away from me,
