Getting the van ready over the next couple of days for driving down Wednesday morning so we'll make sure our badges are there.
Should I take binoculars so I can spot @DuxDeluxe before he sees me first? :LOL:
Don't worry........I'll see you both first. Don't want to actually have to buy a round.......;)

We are going for the day on Thursday and will wear our badges.

Does anyone know if you can park motorhomes in the general parking?

You could when we went there a couple of years ago. Looked like several stayed overnight there (or managed to get exactly the same parking spot 2 days running!).

Parked in the car parks last year no problem... in fact was well impressed with the organisation and parking facilities. .

We will be getting the train again, Virgin from Watford junction takes about an hour and delivers you inside the nec... Have a few drinks without worrying about driving. Let the train take the strain. (y)

You will be directed by NEC staff to the appropriate car park and will be able to park in with the cars. We've been as day visitors in the van twice and had no problems at all. The staff have been very efficient.

We aim to arrive for 11am on Wednesday (when our on site pitch will be available) relax and have lunch then go into the exhibition for the afternoon. Thursday and Friday we will be there all day (or until our legs start dropping off :D) before coming home on Saturday. Much more relaxing than staying elsewhere.

Sorry we will miss you this time. We loved Warwick cc site on the race course! A walk in to town and the castle was interesting especially with people dressed as characters ! Enjoy!!

Got my new van so never going to the NEC again. Horrible noisy crowded place with no where to sit without paying a fortune.

Tend to agree. Round trip of 250 miles, 2 nights at official camping park + admission - not much change out of £150.

Been to the NEC a couple of times in the past. Might be tempted back if could park overnight for free in their many carparks. Don't need the "all singing all dancing" CC camper park @ £30 per night + the noise of the generators which prevent me from getting a good nights sleep.

It's a shame really, because a lot of effort is put in by all the exhibitors, take @eddyvanbitz as an example.

We were actually surprised in February how many small groups of tables and chairs were dotted around the walls and in corners for people to eat their packed lunches.
I was trying to hide in the corner from you both, but you found me...... you must have had a sniffer dog for the malt supply :p
