I can't find a "thank you" thread, so I thought I'd just go and make one up
Thank you, Jacquie and John, yet again, for a great rally down at Shepton Mallet. It's really nice to know that, whatever time you turn up (eh, Sonja?) Jacquie is there to greet you. Even arriving at 8pm, as we did on Friday, just as it was getting dark, Jacquie was there.
We missed out on the entertainment, loved the fantastic fireworks, and spent too much money And we re-met some friends from MHF, and made some new ones (we hope!).
We too arrived very late on Friday having had to collect our machine from the garage and were pleased to be met by a friendly face, many thanks Jacquie - and to John of course. What a fantastic weekend it was with sunny days and warm nights - you would not have believed how many people were on site - it was so quiet overnight!
Yes I'd like to add my thanks to Jacqui and John. We arrived at about 10 past 10 in the evening have sneaked passed the security guard and away from the overnight spot - armed with Jacqui's instructions to MH Facts area gleaned from the web site we made our way down and decided to try and find a spot and sort it our with Jacqui in the morning. But no Jacqui was still up waiting for the stragglers and John ushered us into a spot. Thank you John and Jacqui you are stars. They even did the Tesco Home delivery service on Saturday. Had a good time and met loads of nice people. Hope the Teensvan had a fab time in the helicopter this afternoon. Nearly spent lots of money on a new autotrail but managed to just not commit ourselves to over 56 Thousand. Oh well I can save my pennies.
Hi, We've also just got back from Shepton Mallet show, in our A-S Clubman GL, had a great time bought ''a few things'', lovely weather, lots of stalls, (where were O'Learys this year, needed cupboard door catches, couldn't find any? ) thought the entertainment was crap on both nights, but can't wait for next years show. See you all then, Jack & Patty, Cornwall

Did you not like the Beatles tribute band on Friday? We thought they were brill - they even got me up dancing which is a VERY rare event these days
Have to agree about the rest of it (although didn't wait to see the show band on Saturday).
The comedians were poor but I think that was largely because the acoustics in the "aircraft hangar" were so bad it was difficult to make out what they were saying. I have to admit feeling sorry for them.
Anyway, overall a great show, great weather and thoroughly enjoyed it including meeting a few old friends.
Many thanks to Jaquie and John for their sterling work.

I dont agree about the entertainment what I do agree with was the Venue (barn like)they didnt stand a chance what with the audience talking over them.
All round an enjoyable weekend, I was parked next to someone I worked for 35 years ago.
it is the first time we have camped at the show - usually day visit. Didnt camp with MHF (our friends are not members - and dont have a computer) but called round and met Jackie who was pleased to find out who had been frantically waving at her as we passed en route to the MCC site! I did think there was a lack of stalls selling the all important little bits that we need to replace and I only found one stall selling thetford toilet chemicals. I still managed to spend too much but couldnt find what I really wanted, which was one of those Base Camp/Sunncamp nylon awnings that slide into the fiamma blind. The only one I saw I didnt like the shape of, and an inside piece would have cut across the door, so it is back to the drawing board.
We hope to camp with MHF in January and meet some other members
Although I wasnt with MFH, thank you Jackie
We spent 3 days trudging around the show looking for the 'right van' for fulltiming...still can't make our minds up...but my feet still hurt..sorry we didn't get over to MHF rally..we ran out of time & energy ..Maybe next time?
Just got home a couple of hours ago to reload the van & off to Scotland for a month tomorrow
Great fireworks st Shepton...didn't see any other entertainment..too knackered to venture out in the evening

Well we enjoyed the show, lots of Vans & Traders and the weather for once was terrific.
Don't knock the entertainment the they had an impossible task in such a horrible venue (Who's idea was it to hold it in there 4g sake?)
I was at the front on the Friday night and thought the Beatles tribute band were one of the best I've seen.
Fire works were brill on Saturday. Many thanks to Jaquie and John once agian thier hospitality fantastic.....
I had a close shave as I very nearly brought a new M/Home... Just came to my senses in time... (It was a very nice Autotrail £55k)
In the end all I brought was some Glue & some window polish.... Phew!!
Well as we can't make York we may well go to the NEC and catch the new models......
Nice to see lots of faces to the names and look forward to meeting you all again..
