Andy Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 If anyone is planning to go, or will be in town on Sunday, there are various changes to bus routes as a result of road closures.

Tyranna Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'll be there this year, as I have frequently missed it! I hope not too many people will think it is on tonight, Saturday, as I nearly did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsredhat Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 we've just got back and we all really enjoyed it. top effort on the organisers part. no gangs of youths, plenty of litter pickers and a really good atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan2802 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I've just got back and hated every moment of it. Too crowded, over priced tat on every stall. Bah humbug. At least we've got Christmas to look forward too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagger Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 We went as we go most years, but this year wasn't as good as previous years. Didn't seem to be much in the way of 'events'. Cutbacks? Good turn out and plenty of food stalls, burger vans etc but not much else. Real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longy67 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Been tonight with our 3 girls, some good things, some bad. Never been before so can't compare things, but most of it seemed to be a cost thing, stalls, rides and food/drink vans. Did get to have my pic took with the stormtroopers so not all bad...

doom bringer Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 had a great night . as for the cost of things . the same price's apply no matter where or what you do .these days . but can understand if you have younger kiddies wanting drinks food and rides then the flashing toys ect all mounts up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
