Bulldog Bash 2010 – updated with pictures

I’m going again this year – anybody from here up for it?

We will meeting up at my house (Evesham) at around 11ish on the Friday (13th) as we need to get there by midday get a good camping spot. We ususally make it home about 11ish on the Sunday.

Looks like Warwickshire police have finally seen sense:

Organisers of this year’s Bulldog Bash bike and music show – which takes place at Shakespeare County Raceway, near Stratford-upon-Avon, 12th to 15th of August – have welcomed moves to end the massive stop and search operation and reduction of the police presence at the event. The assistant chief constable of Warwickshire, Bill Holland has told local people that there will be no road closures or road blocks this year after huge operations caused chaos for villagers and showgoers at the past two events. Mr Holland said this year’s operation would be “intelligence led” but people going to the show would no longer be funnelled into a lay-by near the site to be searched.

A spokesman for the bash said:” We welcome a return to sensible policing. The huge operations over the last two years have cost Warwickshire taxpayers a million pounds, resulted in just a handful of arrests and have caused chaos for showgoers and villagers. They also discouraged bash visitors from going out into the local area and boosting the economy. “Local people considered – and we agreed – that these operations were unnecessary. We welcome a return to the type of policing that worked well for the first twenty years of the show. We look forward to working closely with the local police as we have done every year to ensure another safe and successful bash.”

Saying that I’ve never been searched or had any hassle whatsoever either going to or coming home from the Bulldog.
