do you have to have a certain number of engines or anything to be able to exibit | ||||
| Les Marsh |
No, but you do need to fill out an application form and be accepted before you can exhibit. You can download the form from the link I posted. |

how far is this place from dorset? | ||||
| Les Marsh |
Dorset is a county, not a place and is next to Somerset. Abbey Hill is in Yeovil, which is in Somerset. I live in Bournemouth which is about 50 miles away from Abbey Hill. |

is fifty miles along way in your local talk. ie. fifty miles to tavel in tasmania aust (where i grew up) is a long distance. 50 miles in queensland aust (where i live now) well they drive that every day just to go to work and think nothing of it!. qld drivers drive that distance just to buy a milkshake lol | ||||
| Les Marsh |
No, not a long way, about a 90 minute drive towing a caravan. | ||||
