This is not an official Fun meet but an offer for members who may wish to book individually at a discounted rate for great value camping for 2-5 nights in the New Forest next week which has been kindly agreed by Appletree Exhibitions (y) The New Forest is beautiful at this time of year with deer & wildlife in abundance, some excellent walking & cycling routes plus good weather is forecast :sun:

Location: New Forest Show Ground, Clay Hill, Brockenhurst SO42 7QH right in the New Forest about 30 mins walk from Brockenhurst with it's shops, tea rooms, pubs & restaurants. Maybe jump on the train there for the short hop to Lymington town for the day or Lymington Pier for a scenic ferry ride to Yarmouth on the Isle Of Wight. Lyndhurst is a bit further afield for the keen walkers.
Arrival: It's flexible as from 10am Wednesday 16 September, Thursday 17, Friday 18 or Saturday 19 with a minimum stay of 2 nights up to a maximum of 5 nights with departure by midday on Monday 21 September.
Facilities: Elsan tanks & drinking water. Toilets will be open in daytime hours but closed overnight.
Activities: No organised entertainment but local trade stands, a catering van & bar. Please note it is unlikely that there will be motorhomes for sale on this occasion.
Price: The exclusive offer for Funsters is arrival from Wednesday onwards & payment by cash on arrival for a minimum of 2 nights up to a maximum of 5 nights at the reduced rate of £10 per unit per night :) Website price is £12 per night arriving from Thursday so a saving of up to £10.
Dogs: Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept under control & not worry campers or wildlife.
Booking: To be eligible for this offer you need to message me or post on here & I will message you back - the organiser will need to know number of motorhomes arriving to allocate plenty of space & have a note of your name, arrival day, number of nights staying & a contact phone number.

Even if the "Show" at this location does not go ahead the camping offer will! There will be extra measures in place to be COVID Safe & everyone will be expected to social distance at all times in accordance with the latest Government guidelines.

Ever since lighting was by Calor gas.
In 20 years of mobile travelling 'over there' in one form or another I know virtually nothing about m/h 'events' or touring over here.
Once parked at the showground is it permitted to come and go with the m/h, say to eat in Brock, Lyndhurst etc?
Over the years I have been to a few weekend historic vehicle shows where for public safety it has not been permitted to leave once the event has opened.
Dithering about whether or not to go abroad next week, what with all the Covid 'scaremongering', form to fill in max 48hrs before returning (I don't have mobile WiFi or smartphone) and the Q14 regs etc..... ad nauseam. :rolleyes: .

Reply from organiser "That’s no problem at all, we will give all campers wrist bands so they can come and go as they please. We do however need to make sure it’s not too early or too late to disturb other campers " (y)

There is a bus stop outside the showground on the main road which is "a good few hundred yards" from the showground. Would contact the bus companies to double check timetable as may vary at the moment.
Looks like it's listed as New Park stop & the bus companies referred to are https://www.bluestarbus.co.uk/ https://www.morebus.co.uk/ https://www.salisburyreds.co.uk/ & https://www.traveline.info/
Please post if you do find out which ones might be running.
