Yes Mave - I got them at Tesco in Carmarthen but it is the first time I had seen a special area for such things. Perhaps it was a trial - ask at your customer services. Some of us did this in Llandrindod in respect of pork luch tongue and got it back on the deli counter. People power does seem to work.
Thanks GordonBennet for emailing Apple Tree too - feedback is good if it is given well and I believe a young show needs good feedback. It seems they don't want us there again though!
We did have a good time and MHFmembersarejustthebest! Shame the men only got up for the last dance. I wonder if it's because they don't have handbags to put in the middle of the floor?
I'm not sure the amenity facilities at the Carmarthen 'maes' are any better than Chepstow.
Although I've only visited the Carmarthen showground, the portakabin style toilets (behind the big storage shed) are a bit grim, disgusting even - and I'm not sure about the availability of water.
Having seen the facilities that those attending the rally at Chepstow were expected to put up with (and I assume you had to pay fees) it has put me off attending any future rallies held at showground sites. Even the Malvern showground toilet / washing facilities are not great.
I like the idea of attending a rally and will continue to look out for any that may be organised at sites where amenities are of an acceptable standard - clean toilets and washing / shower facilities / running water. A hook up would be a bonus.
PS: In my opinion as a visitor to both, the Carmarthen show knocks the Chepstow show into a cocked hat!!! I definitely will not be going back to Chepstow - once was enough.
PPS: Oops - time for a quick edit. Just found the 'rally' section on this site - now that looks more promising!!!!
I would just like to put these comments in perpective re the toilets at chepstow as I was there, yes the first toilet block was not good and have been to and seen a lot worse (french and spanish public loos).... there were 3 or 4 porto loos provided to us to use, and if we went in to the grandstand areas and the stewards parvalian the loos were very good and usable.... the water was available from the bad toilet block and I used about 100 Kgs of it... and did not have a problem with it.... the people I saw coming into that block did say it was disgusting and I did point them to the grandstand area.Yes is not perfect but thats why we have camper vans with loos and showers in them to use, I tend to use my shower and loo rather than the site facilities..... but thats just me.... not complaining in any way about the site.... you just have to go with the flow... and yes I would go back as all the companey was first class and thats the main part of the rally for me....
Well John & I enjoyed Chepstow as it is the company we go for not the facilities and to be honest it was the Course not Appletree that had rotten facilities. Appletree did put some porta loos on especially for us as the course loos were so grouse.
Still it looks like we will not be rallying at Chepstow next year
Thank you all who came to the bar on Saturday we really enjoyed your company and i'm still aching from all the dancing
If any of you have any photos can you put them in the Photo Gallery please.
