Hi -

I put a link to the web site in the original post rather than type everything in again, they have done hte announcement as a graphic so you can't "cut and paste" the text.

Hi TonyC52, you can go to file at the top of the tool bar and scroll down to save as, then just save as a jpeg file, then up load to photo bucket copy and paste, I have reduced the size to fit this form.

Noticed it is cash only. No doubt dealers will be there buying up most vans and sell  for double the price paid, hope some of the rank and file caravaner’s can get some of them.

I was thinking of going to pick up a couple of bits and pieces. Then I decided that I didn't want to pick over the corpse with the poor employees still there - we have been going to ours since before Discover bought them out. Its a very bad business all round.

Looks like the caravan company have brought most of their caravan stock according to the front page of their website:

We bought our current caravan from the Finedon branch of the Caravan Company, lovely people and we got an excellent deal. Funnily enough our previous van was from Barrons. I think I can feel another trip to Northants coming on...

You might as well - I am a former employee who was there the day we ceased trading, and I'd much rather customers got the stock that is left over than it goes to waste. I may very well go along myself - I could also do with a few bits and bobs, and I'd rather they were put to good use.

I know how you feel, but have all the staff been paid and got their redundancy?, the money from the sale might help them, after the Revenue and everyone else up front takes theirs.

Nope - we are all still waiting for not only the redundancy but for 3 and 1/2 weeks pay from 20th Sept - 14th Oct. From the letter I received I gather the staff are very low in the pecking order and may possibly be graced with monies owed by mid Decemeber.
