Definitely no new van.  No money left!! - all spent on booze! 

Seriously.  Can't understand why you haven't had an email.  I have sent three now.  Only got one of yours though, but I am using the address on your email.  Most odd. 

Last year we went to the show just because we were down there for the horse of the year show a few days before.  We weren't looking to change our van for a few years, but came back having purchased a new van.

This year we are going down just for the day out, but to get my oh and dd to go, I had to buy tickets for the musical 'legally blonde'. 

herself an meself will go because it's a great day out, love seeing all the new stuff but I can't see us being tempted by a new van, we love the current one. Might look into an awning, we've played with the idea for a bit for when we're away for longer periods, not for just weekends, she is quite keen, me not so much, but then i'll have to put it up!

We're not in the market to buy but I think we're going for a day out

I prefer going to the outdoor show in February, at least everything is catered for there not just caravans and motorhomes.

Three things get up my nose & put us off going last year, 

One, the attitude of some of the people staffing the stands, they look down there noses at you when they realise you're not going to buy their products.

Two, the restrictions put on viewing some of the items on show there, as far as I'm concerned, if you want to put your fifth wheel van or your big yatch on a stand at a show which charges for admission, those visiting should be free to look at it.

Third, why can't the NEC provide somewhere for those paying to get in to be able to sit down and eat their packed lunch?  Not everyone want's to take out a mortgage to eat there but people shouldn't have to be sitting on the floor to eat their food.
