Hi. Simon and Sheila.
Lovely to meet you and glad you enjoyed it.
Lovely to meet other members too.
We must say thanks to the fella who who was organising the weekend.
Although there could have been a lot more thought gone into it i.e,
lack of someone on the gate Thursday morning. no rubbish bags or bins,
no food or drink facilities on Thursday, and no gas or provisions, he did make us very welcome and settled us in nicely.
We only managed to stay for 2 nights,(prior engagement) but it was great fun, and, it was good to meet new folks.
This was only the 2nd show there, and the 1st time for overnight camping, so all in all, we think it was a good effort.
A big thankyou must go to pollydoodle for her vast amount of dorset apple cake which was superb.
Well didn't we do well no rain and what a nice bunch you all were very well behaved.
A big thanks to CatherineandSteve for looking after us all very well brilliant job done kids, and suedi_55 for also lending a hand I know she wanted to show off her new hi-vis vest
A huge thanks to Pollydoodle for her fab Dorset Apple Cake must have put on at least 2lbs serves me right for being a pig
As Sue said a lot of things could have been better for the campers, but for a 1st attempt for Appletree at dealing with camping it could have been worse We had a decent pitch close to the show, what there was of it, and a water tap near and no chance of sinking as all hard standing
I have put some piccys on the photo gallery if you have any photos please add them to it.
hi to everone who went to westpoint.thank you all for making us feel at home.we had a great weekend,and met some really nice people .look foward to the next time.lin and pete.
Sorry we couldn't stay - I'm afraid I had to work the weekend (up at 5am today, and that being Penquins birthday, oops!)! It was great to see those we met, and we look forward to seeing you all in May at the Cornish Farm rally.
So was this show any good? Well, as for the show it was smaller than other more established events, but this could be improved with more smaller traders. Most of the South West dealers were there so with more space they could have more stock on show.
As for the camping, well, we had a good pitch on hard standing, there was a tap close by with toilets and showers a little further away. Because of the small number of people staying the facilities were not overwhelmed, if the show gets bigger this will have to be improved.
A lot of other van owners kept coming over asking about general camping and facilities, as there weren't any Show marshals. This would need big improvement if the show is to get bigger.
The amount of camping needs to be expanded to help traders such as Air-Ride who make their money by fitting products at the show, and need a supply of customers with their vans.
As for the evening entertainment well most of us frequented the bar and spent most of the evening chatting getting to know one another.
So all in all we had a good weekend, even though not everything was perfect.
As an added bonus Sunday was a lovely sunny day!
I went - thanks to Nuke for the tickets - and would probably have left after lunch but bumped into friends. I found as I got there just at 0930 that it was so crowded around the accessories trade stands inside, you couldn't move.
It is a small venue, but was better than I had expected - they really need a much larger area to give the traders more space.
It was interesting and meeting up with Nuke again after such a long gap was good, and managed to speak to lots of people and hopefully more will join the site.
Sorry I didn't get to the camping area - but glad it wasn't too bad.
Carol

We couldn't get there in the end.......darn customers! lol! Made me miss out on apple cake and everything!!! - gonna charge them more! ROFL!
Was looking forward to it as well - so much for our relaxing weekend, it all went a bit pete tong and we were overrun. Hope you all had a good time, maybe next year - or even another further away.
I will be more relaxed once Glastonbury is over - i have run out of vans and i must be getting 10 calls a day for glasto! I am sick of saying 'sorry, we are fully booked'
