Hi Both, Can't remember seeing the Loire it may have been there, they did have the Indiana but I was looking for the Virginia with the island bed and that was not there,

There where very few bargins as there where not many display stands I did get £2 knocked off an automatic gas switchover valve at the Gasglow stand but nothing I could not have had cheaper on the net.

It cost us £10 to park in the nearest car park £7.50 to get in it could have been £15 if not for club membership and the 2 roll's and cofee's set me back another £10 not a cheep day £27.50 to save £2 and to freezzzz your nadgers off its cold in the stadium.

Just noticed the Loire is advertised as being on display at the Welsh show on Bailey's web site so it will have been there.

Stu

Thanks for that Stu.

We were thinking about going, mainly because we want to see the Loire but also to have a look round the show, but I think we might just wait until our dealer gets one, especially with the weather we've had today!

Joty

well im still going :)

so Stuart are you going to complain for such a poor show??

if i find it poor ill give a moan :O)

last years was quiet but i wouldn't say it was poor..

oh and you upset me now by saying it was pathetic you could of kept it to yourself til monday to be honest... that might just be your opinion..ill post mine monday :)

Hi Happy camper

After visiting the NEC I suppose it would be a hard act to follow, but they could have made so much more of it.

Where were the big companies like Towsure? Are we not worth the effort? There was only one awning make and a total showing of two full awnings for a caravan and three or four for motor homes.

I will vote with my feet and not bother to visit again and if I find the email address of the organisers I will send my feelings to them also, I did complain to the people taking the tickets that I thought the idea of having people queue in the freezing rain was a bad start as there appeared room to have done this in the entrance to the stadium.

Stu

I have contacted the organizers and passed on my feelings

Stu

Oh dear, don't think we'll bother.  We weren't after any bargains, just fancied an afternoon out, browsing, but if its that bad it won't be worth the money - by the time you pay to park (a costing I'd conveniently forgotten about!)

Thanks for the tip off, will be interesting to hear other views after the weekend.

Just come back.

God selection of vans on show.

Poor turn out on the accessory stalls.  Did manage to pick up a cheap sat finder and mrs scarletsfan had some gloves.

90% of the demonstrators where local

just kidding were they inside or outside the show?

 Sorry all

           started a post and have not been on for days, after reading some of the post was not sure whether to go or not, but we did end up going as we have never been to one before, we went late on sunday, i was hopeing there would be more stores as well as caravans. One store holder said there is another one April 18th at Carmarthen that is supposed to be a bit better, My 7yr said he is not going to that crap again it is boring, which it would for a 7yr so if we next year I will leave him home wish i had yesterday.

        They did have some lovley caravans though I'll have to keep on dreaming for a few years though.

A pity really as I for one would love a good Welsh caravan show but unless people complain to the organisers there won't be much change next year the ones to voice you complaints or congratulations if you did like the show are
