Where did January go!
I meant to get a newsletter out in December as an end of year round up, I just couldn't find the time, so I thought a Newsletter in January would be good to look forward, that didn't happen and here it is in February! Better late than never.
Looking at the January stats I can see we had 404 new members, there were 1652 new threads and 19,176 new posts . We now have 1161 subscribers. The site is as busy as ever, lots of experience onboard so questions are answered quickly. Topics debated vigourously but all with an undercurrent of fun and none of the nasty stuff that is so common on other forums. I can giggle along all day and at least once a day I have a "Sian, come and look at this" moment, where I see something so funny, I want to share it. Thank you and long may it continue.

How to get your stolen motorhome back in a flash.
Imagine being away on holiday you could be in Cornwall, Scotland or France, you are coming out of a supermarket with a trolley full of beer and provisions, you looked to where you parked the motorhome and its gone. Stolen.
What can you do? T he holiday is over. Get a train home? Hire a car? Wait weeks for your insurance to pay out, then get less than it's worth. Losing your van and all the contents just does not bear thinking about. But what if there was a very good chance that you could be back in your stolen van in just 90 minutes!
If your van was fitted with a tracker system, not only might you enjoy lower insurance premiums, but you could have your van back and the beer in the fridge in less than a couple of hours!
Vanbitz have offered Funsters a fantastic deal that will not be around for long and we guarantee you won't find cheaper. Look here for further details
Fun Rallies and Meets
Our Rally season is up an running. Next month sees rallies in the North of England and in Southern Spain. The Show rallies are already filling up check out the line up on the front page of the site and book yourself on. The rallies are very laid back friendly affairs. There is no standing on ceremony or committee members giving you photocopies of the rules. A relaxed atmosphere, no pressure to join in anything, enjoying the company of others with simiar interests. If you've not been before, please do give it a go.
Subs Remain at £10
There won't be an increase in Subs this year, they will remain the same. If you don't subscribe, you are missing out on a large part of the Fun. There is a lot of the site you cannot see and of course you can only view, you cannot post, ask nor answer questions or attend rallies and importantly you are not getting those serious discounts we mentioned above.

Send me a PM that lists all the makes you find. If you've found the most then you'll win. If more than one person finds them all then there will be a draw to decide the winner.
The word search in the last newsletter had 30 Funsters hidden. Winning with 27 funsters found was Champers. The Prize being a Battery Master kindly donated by VanBitz. Well done Kath.
