My present searching ability on pipermail is poor!

taginfo gives:

recreation_ground=showground 4 off (using landuse=recreation_ground too, as per the Australian talk group)

amenity=showground 4 off

landuse=showground 2 off

leisure=showground 2 off

There are 23 pages of 12 entries (276 total),

Most of these are names ... so I'd say over 150 individual showgrounds named within OSM currently but only 10 with some kind of tag.

Anyone else?
