Safely back home now. Many thanks to all the rally marshals for their hard work in making the event go so smoothly for all of us.

Nice to meet old friends and people we had never met before.

Fabulous weather and lovely people, thanks to all for making this another great FUN event. All of this topped with the unexpected flypast of the Spitfire and Hurricane followed by the Dakota.

Great weekend at Lincoln show, not too much spent at the show.
Pity it was so cold in the evenings to sit in the marquee, but thanks to the funster musicians.

We too met friends old & new, but just reading this thread makes me realise how many were there but who we still haven't met. Ah well, there is always next year.

Many thanks to all concerned - especially to those doing all the unseen work behind the scenes. At the more visible end of things, thanks must go to the musicians, not only for entertaining us, but for their effect on recruitment. I have spoken to several members who said they joined because they saw (heard!) how much fun & partying was going on in the funsters area compared to the rest of the site. Not everyone who was parked in the overflow area last year right next to the marquee complained - some of them joined up & were in the marquee partying with us this year.

There is something special about watching new members joining in with 'Alice' for the first time - grins don't get any wider as the realisation dawns! What would the grandchildren think?

 

[TheHat]

thanks to all that made the weekend a success
Get Well soon Pamelaar

HI Funsters,
The Lincoln Show Finale was our first time with the Funsters and we cannot thank you enough for making us so welcome.
From the moment we arrived on the Friday till Sunday evening we felt so privileged to be part of such a fantastic group.
Can't wait to see you again.
Nick & Julie (the Bailey's)

Had a great time terrific view of the spitfire. hurricane and the dakota. But irate that to know we have a thief in the club who stole my nearside milenco mirrow guard.
We belong to three clubs and this is the first time we have any thing stolen WHERE,S THE FUN IN THAT, DO WE HAVE TO CHAIN DOWN EVERYTHING.

 

[daveandsan]

How do you know it was someone from Motorhome fun that stole it? Anyone can walk round the different areas. @Mike shelton

 

[Theonlysue]

Miffed that your accusations point towards a club member, when you don't know who took them. Problem is, they fit so many vans and are easily stolen. Tonka had his taken while his van was parked at home! And it is a public show, could have been anyone.
I have been camping with fun for over 6 years, have done many shows, and have Never heard of anything being stolen.

It's always dissapointing when something like this occurs @Mike shelton, though it is difficult to know how it is possible to prevent activity like this completely. Though in the Fun area, the toilets, showers and waste are accessible to all on the whole site, so it is always going to be a challenge to prevent access by those not with fun. Our area was largely unlit apart from some light from the adjacent trader area, again making it difficult to see strangers after dark.
We cannot have absolute security, it's both impractical and impossible.
I am sure if those around you had seen anyone tampering with your vehicle they would have been challenged. I did not know everyone adjacent to me personally, but I soon got to know their faces and who was in which van.
I too think it is unfair to immediately blame a Funster, and should you have more concrete information to support this we need to know this. If not, then perhaps you may wish to consider acknowledging it could have been anyone, even someone coming in from outside and not even camping at all.

Security stopped us to tell us there had been 3 generators and other items stolen on Friday night from all different areas of the show ground.

 

[Steve and Denise]

I like to believe that we are among friends in this club and would never assume some one from this or any other club would steal from any one. But there are plenty of other people who will. Malvern was a good example of this!!!!!

Hopefully the incident described wasn't perpetrated by a Funster. Unfortunately, though, it seems that in any large gathering/club there is always a small element who will take from others and it is certainly upsetting when one is the victim.

 

[teddybard]

Larger events sadly attract tea leaves
seems harsh to blame the club without
some sort of proof.

 

[makems]

We left our chairs out every night.
But we had to take them home again.
Bugger!

Apparently these things happen at big shows @Jim 's wife chased off a tea leaf at a show, last year, that was attempting to steal a genny from his trailer.

Unscrupulous characters know about these big shows and they know that they have entertainment at night. Autumn evenings are particularly attractive to these b@;€$%ds they probably book the show with only one thing in mind.

MHF self security patrol volunteers may be an answer.

If i caught thieves messing with my van, THEY would want to call the police.

I've never had a chance to get to a show......all the decent ones are too far south for us.......maybe part of a longer break one day.
