    Too many shows on. Every Parish had one there for a while. Plus the crowds went well down attending them due to shows keeping the same attractions every year.

    Moynalty used to be good until they started charging exhibitors to pay for Nathen Carter.

    Mountbellew was fantastic but weather has that show on its knees at the minute. Not a dry day in 5 years.

    The IVETA indoor show is in April this year due to the Equestrian Centre in Cavan hosting a show jumping event in April. Its a good show as its a lads day out not many kids running round it.

    I called a lad last year for a few bits, and he started telling me how much my car WASN'T worth. :rolleyes:

    I hope you used that to your advantage, well if the car isn't worth much then the parts can't be either!

    You know, my ear was so burned by his billsh1t, I left it, and got the bits elsewhere.

    I brought my classic car to Moynalty last year and there was no entry fee. There were so many classics, they had to take over some of the space allocated for parking.

    Yep. And I would have no problems with that. He really could have closed the deal and told me how he wished me the best with my plans, and was glad to help with my project, but Jaysus, no. The total opposite.

    Either way, I'm good

    That was the case maybe 10 years ago, just about every pip-squeak village, parish pump and GAA field holding one, on clashing dates.
