I was suggesting that as well as where rides travel ( approximate part or parts of the country such as South Wales and the North East ) it would also be interesting to know the approximate part of the country they winter in (such ad the North East. On a different point I love the idea of suggesting who can vouch for you I can say that Darren Mark Butler (Fun Fairs UK) can vouch for me as well as countless showmen I am friends with on Facebook. I have been personally invited to see several showmen in their yards and have posted photos (with their permission) to prove it. I love this forum and long may it continue. Mark 1 Link to comment

MarkNobody is asking people to vouch for them though, and as for having showmen friends on FB and being invited to yards, that's no big deal as most forum members have showmen as FB friends too and chat to them on the grounds, I don't get why the big interest in where they winter as to be honest its non of our business, and most of us know where they winter anyway. 8 Link to comment

Going back Edwards of Swindon, Jennings of Devizes to mention two. 1 Link to comment
