Rally Chat Is anyone planning to go to motorhome shows this year like peterborough or malvern? (1 Viewer)

[ASBIKES]

hi there! Just checking on a general feel of what people think about the outdoor shows, is anyone going? any feedback is great im trying to decide yes or no

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

No.

 

[BobtheBass]

Ditto. Far too soon to rub shoulders with strangers.

We won't be going anywhere with crowds for quite a while yet

 

[M-J]

Nope

 

[Janine]

Nope. Besides the fear of contamination, I don't think that the shows will be up to much - little or no entertainment in the evenings for example.

It will be the first time that I have missed the Malvern show in 15 years

Thank you this is really helpful, my dads a trader and he said he was going to all of them including 2 only next month and im trying to show him it might not be the best idea

 

[Holly's mum]

We had originally moved our booking for Peterborough at end the of July but today decided to cancel it, for much the same reasons as everyone above.

I don't think he will be that busy, even if he is only selling sanitizer and masks.

Not on your nelly!

 

[Silver-Fox]

To me a bit pointless if no entertainment on.

 

[The Wino]

I wouldn't be surprised if they call them off.

Obviously I’m in the minority - I’ve booked Malvern and will go unless it is cancelled.

 

[toledo]

And he will be going

 

[tonyandcarol]

No to shows far to early. Just small meets for us.

No big shows this year and possibly not till late next year.

Does he trade online??

 

[jezport]

I usually trade from shows. As we are a small family business it is possible to trade from shows. Bigger traders who have staff would find it virtually impossible to attend if they are to respect social distancing. How do they get staff there? Where will they stay? How do you ensure van interiors are kept virus safe?
Ive spoken to a couple of big motorhome retailers and they say its impractical for them to attend.

Thanks for that. I hadn't seen it. Bit of a bugger that. As I lived in Norfolk for a few years I use the show as cheap camping and secure parking while I go visit friends. Bugger

 

[jezport]

Ive just had the same message as Jim Norfolk is cancelled

 

[Yorkshire Puds]

Sounds like no one there apart from a few. Social distancing shouldn’t be a problem then, count me in.

(if they ever are any that is)

NORFOLK CANCELLED

 

[Jim]

NORFOLK CANCELLED

I can't see any going ahead.

1. Less people, so>traders will be reluctant, so>less traders, so>less people will go, so less traders attend.

2. SD means Entertainment severely curtailed, so> less people, so> poorer entertainment, so> (go back to 1)

3 Shows finished as we know them for at least a year.

 

[Liver birds]

Is Chester still on. It says cancelled on rallies page but the Chester site is still open for bookings.
