I know not everyone's a fan of G.O., or of the cards, but they do have some good offers sometimes. The latest mailing shows they're having a summer sale Mon 10/08 comm 09.00.

I'm hoping they're repeating the Delta EHU offer at £29.99 which I missed last time

You're welcome little haba

Some folks don't like GO, or their cards, but we've save the £4 times about 10. We do check prices though. I like the convenience too.

We went to the Bristol Go Outdoors over the last weekend & I'm convinced they removed a lot of stock from display for the sale period. Could be me because everything we went for was non existant. Even the shelf labels were gone.

Very good store though with massive choice of stock although I don't feel they manage their outside tent display very well. Lots of them were soaking inside & one had a huge tear along the zip at the entrance, perhaps someone had tripped on it but I expected it to have been addressed to keep things looking tiptop.

Do you wait until you go to the cashout to buy the £4 card or do you purchase it as you go in & present it at the till when you pay?? We've only ever bought the odd thing there but were going to be spending £200 plus had they had stocks last weekend so the card would have been a must.

The card system is no different to that operated by Macro, Costco etc, a means to get some cash upfront and get your address on their database. I've saved it many times over and have no objection to it.

Each to his own.

Hi BB,you can do both,we bought our tent last week and just got the card at the same time as buying the tent at the checkout,they usually ask first if you have a card anyway just tell them you want one.

The current promotion is "Half Price" on some items, and I think today they threw in free delivery. The "Summer Sale" from 10/08 is apparently something different. They do do these agressive marketing offers and at the end of the day you've got to look at the actual price and decide if the item is good value and suits your needs, rather than the theoretical saving on a supposed "RRP".

That said, they've previously had some real bargains from time to time eg the 3 way EHU's (both 3 inline sockets and the Delta type) they've done at £29.99 and I'll be up early 10/08 to see what that week's offers are
