We also have unique facilities not found elsewhere such as our Online Logbook, stopover tracker, Motorhome directory with Ebay type feedback and the largest repository of motorhome campsites reviews found anywhere
We are working on a campsite nearby for the season so we took a ride over to the show. We were very unimpressed with amount of stands , motorhomes and exhibitors. The show guide advertised halls A - F.
Along with some other people we wasted half an hour looking for halls E & F. We eventually found them but they had no exhibitors in them.
I think they condensed the show because of a lack of trader interest.

Yes, agree, we went yesterday but what a waste of time, money and diesel! We were two who were searching for E & F, you'd think the "organisers" would have the decency to let people know that even though on the programme plan they are not open.
Am I correct in thinking this show was originally planned for earlier in the year and had to be cancelled due to the weather (Snow )
If I am correct then most likely some exhibitors didn't renew because they already had other commitments this weekend.
Also Friday is not usually the busiest day - maybe more will turn up today and tommorrow.
I had plans to go this weekend but fate has decided otherwise
Correct and correct but Friday is usually slack with punters which is why we went then but exhibitors are there for the duration and don't turn up part way through! If today and Sunday are more busy with visitors, just means more people are going to be ripped off the entrance fee (£7.50 adult or £10 for two with voucher). I understand the reasons for lack of traders, just think they could have been more forthcoming to visitors on arrival with a sign to say halls E & F don't exist!
Well I went yesterday and as a day visitor, you park and enter and the MHF group are immediately on your left - with big sign - they have been in the same place for the last 3 or 4 years. I managed to catch up and say hello to a few friends, and thank Rita and Judy for coffee.
What I had hoped was to meet up with josieb - and after my second attempt she was at her mh and it was really nice to match a face to someone with whom you have spoken and emailed throughout the year.... so thanks again.
I enjoyed the show, I had gone for some LED bulbs really - and as I was on my own I had time to stop and chat with folks.
I loved the weather, and personally think it is a better time for the show that January, and I wonder if the number of visitors will show that.
Thanks to MHF friends... but the one I did miss was DAB's...as I normally take my lunch and con a seat and a chat with him.... but no doubt hopefully we will meet up somewhere this year.
