This might throw up a few arguments :lol:

Anyone like to add to the list?

2007 - Kelmarsh Hall, Northamptonshire
2006 - Normanby Hall, Nr Scunthorpe
2005 - Breamore House, New Forest
2004 - Donnington Park, Leicestershire
2003 - Knebworth House, Hertfordshire
2002 - Harewood House, Leeds
2001 - Beacon Park, Lichfield
2000 - Harewood House, Leeds
1999 - Hawkstone Park, Shropshire

Well I am waiting for it to come back to Harewood again. Come on guys, it was 6 years ago. Time to revisit this beautiful part of the country.
Merry Christmas to all and a Prosperous New Year.

Well a few more
1990 - Knebworth
1991 - Harewood
1993 - Harewood
1994 - Billing

Of the 80s ones quite a few were at Weston Park - I'm fairly sure 1985 was as that would have been my 1st National.

If you lived up here instead of on the Southcoast, you would not need to ask that question. :D

That may have been my first National too - I was ~14 at the time. I remember being surprised to see a Minor police car with flashing lights and police logos...
