Best arrivals times for good positions?

[giblets46]

Hi All,
wondering if anyone had a good suggestion for when I should be aiming to arrive on Saturday? Think in the past we've arrived at around 8.30 ish, which got us 2nd/3rd row back (in the public enclosure)

However this year we are in the Viewing village on the garden chairs, so hoping to get somewhere 'up front' (looking at the showground map the far right of the enclosure looks best?!)
Our aim (myself and a mate) is to 'reserve' a seat in traditional German style before going off to see the exhibition. Take it this is acceptable?

Pretending to be Germans is not acceptable.

the latest is to put up a chair, then walk to where you want to put a ladder, so you have 2 crowdline positions you can move to and from through the day.

like 2 sunbed towels...... and unfortunately the guys, and there are loads of them, are in fact .......Germans.
