We were there Saturday, and it was very busy.  Although I don't think many purchases were being made!

Did anyone else notice the lack of discounts on the caravans this year compared to other years?

HI MY HUSBAND DAUGHTER  SON-IN-LAW AND MYSE WENT ON FRIDAY 15th, AS LIKE MANY OF YOU HAVE SAID HOW QUIET IT WAS IT WAS THE SAME FOR US. I MUST ADMIT IT WAS THE FIRST TIMEWE HAD BEEN TO THE OCT SHOW MY DAUGHTER AND I WENT TO THE FEBRUARY SHOW IT WAS VERY BUSY AND I THINK ALOT MORE TO SEE THAN THE OCTOBER SHOW. WE DID LIKE THE NEW LUNAR CLUBMAN SE ( WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT HAVE GOT A LUNER 500/4 SHE IS 20YRS OLD) THE LAYOUT WEAS JUST WHAT WE WAS LOOKING FOR AND ALSO THE CANWELL CARAVAN STAND THERE CARAVAN WAS BASED ON THE SWIFT CHRASSIMA WHICH WE ALSO LIKE. CONCERNING THE DISABLED PARKING WHICH WE USED ( for myself) I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD THING WITH IT BEEN UNDERCOVER WHICH ON PAST VISITS TO THE NEC IT IS A FIRST FOR IT TO BE UNDERCOVER. AND I THOUGHT THE WALK FROM THE CAR PARK WAS NEARER THAN HAVING TO WALK FROM THE CAR PARK TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE.. WWE WILL WE GOING TO THE FEB SHOW.


Please don't shout!!!!!

Hi

With the current financial restraints most people are under does not the £20 per head entrance fee have something to do with it when once in you are expected to part with more money? The vast majority of items even when priced as bargins are usually available at similar prices via the internet and without the door fees

Very true and one of the reasons we don't 'do' exhibitions any more.

Apart from the ticket cost (£39 for 2 of us), we would have to spend another £45 on petrol and 7 hours travelling to get there and back.

With so much information available on sites such as this, I don't think we would gain much from the experience.

I did! I tried hard to negotiate the price of my new van but concessions were small. But I shouldn't complain, I still got a new van for under the price of a 2010 model.
