vegikev 126 #87 Posted July 18, 2014 hi paul, officially 65 but a few more late ones are in the post, a good number i think. last year we had 27 horticultural machines and 7 stationary engines. not sure about the stationary engines this year as they have a seperate section but we have more than doubled our section and i have not added the loan exhibits ( weeks) yet until ive been down there to finalise things 2 Ian and steve d reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
