Not at all, in fact next year promises to be packed out and enough to keep us overly busy; however, the SMVT doesn't claim a 400% untruthful entry, doesn't invent "visitor numbers" by a concocted mathematical sum, doesn't charge traders £150/pitch, doesn't charge anything for any entrant, doesn't charge for caravans, doesn't charge for support vehicles. SMVT does provide a hugely better and cleaner toilet facilities and 8 mains water taps.

Things aren't set on fire by late-night pyrotechnics and you don't have to run the gauntlet of kids on quads; SMVT doesn't use the HSE as an excuse to make money either.

Maybe though its incorrect to compare a business with a MV show run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. I understand, allegedly, that IMPS have now wholly disconnected from W&P, individuals can make of this what they will.

I feel for IMPS, it was great while they did it and they have been conned it seems.

But what would I know?
