General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I used to love going to the Park Show during the last weekend of September, but I'm going back to the 60s. It started on a Friday night and ended Sunday night.

As has been said, there were marquees containing all sorts of interesting items on sale; there was always a display by the Army with at least one vehicle (probably not a tank as it would have chewed up the ground), but I can't remember what kind of vehicle; then there was the brass band playing in the bandstand; and finally, on the last night, the firework display.

I've often wondered why it stopped, but I suppose there must have been a reason for it, either financial, or perhaps vandalism.
