The Showman's Show - smokers welcome?

Earlier this week I was invited to attend the 25th Showman's Show in Newbury, Berkshire. I couldn't go but the reason for the invitation became clear when organiser Stephen Lance told me, "We are rather proud of our Smoking Area at the Showman’s Show this year."

I am delighted to support any event that makes an effort to cater for smokers. However I couldn't help wondering why an "Outdoor Events Services Exhibition" needs a smoking area when a substantial part of the event is, er, outside in a field.

PS. I have asked Stephen to send me a photo of the smoking area. Watch this space.
