As a Badminton first timer I found them extremely useful so a big thank you to everyone who took the time out to post them. I spent about 10 minutes in traffic getting in and got parked right next to the trade stands (great for frequent dumping of the odd bit of shopping), thanks to these tips. Roll on next year !!

I found them really useful, especially masterbronze's tip:

If there is a crowd at a fence its usually because a competitior is about to jump, if you wait for them to jump the crowd normally moves off to the next fence leaving you with 3 mins to get a comfortable position to watch the next one jump over..(doesn't apply to water jumps - they are always crowded)

and safina's tip of arriving early and leaving late!!

AHHHH just read your tag line-I bought a stubben on saturday after months of looking for a used one. Used are the best cus someone elses bum has done the hard work for you!

Never mind, its very well used. Bought it on e bay but unfortunately it didn't fit my boy who I eventually realised needed a wider fitting cause he'd changed shape so had one made to measured. Think I might stick it back on e bay. Agree with your sentiments on letting someone else's bum do the hard work !!!
