On our 2nd MH now a AutoTrail Savannah which we're absolutely delighted with
Just an observation that there has been little or no mention of the above show which is next month. It's not even listed on here.
Is it not considered to be worthwhile or is just too far north for most members to notice.
We're going and hope it will be very useful!:whatthe::whatthe:

It's day visitors only so no opportunity for a rally.

Last year was the first event there and it was staged against the established Newark Show which (rightly or wrongly) appeared to be an attempt to take traders/customers from that show. Talking, later in the year, to traders who were there it was a wash out because of the weather.

What will happen this year remains to be seen but, at the moment, not tempted :Smile:

We will be trading at this show this year. It will be bigger and better than last year, there are a lot more traders booked than last year.
There are sites near by so you can make it into more than a day out.

It doesn't clash with Newark this year.

even if it did clash with Newark it would make no difference to us, personally I think Newark has gone down hill massively, nowhere near the traders it used to attract. Has been pitiful the last two times we have been, def one off my list!:RollEyes:

It looks like Newark will be bigger this year. There are a number of new exhibitors and trade bookings are a lot healthier than recent shows.

We are going to Harrogate. Does anyone know if there will be second hand as well as new motorhomes there? I know "car park sales" are not allowed :winky:

If I get chance I'll make a big yellow smiley badge so you can spot me (and avoid me) ::bigsmile:

We were there last year and it was actually very good, despite the snow! The other traders we spoke to over the weekend did ok too, so with some decent weather this year (well, no snow...) we're expecting it to be even better.

Nice to have a show up in Yorkshire, anyway.

Steve :Smile:

We will be there Saturday and Sunday, meeting up with family on the Saturday including our 11 month old Grandson so that will be fun. We might get to kidnap him for an hour or so ::bigsmile:

We're booked into an hotel a few miles away on the Friday night and Saturday night as we're making a bit of a holiday to celebrate going part-time at work.

We may call in at the showground on the Friday to pick up a show plan so we can plan our campaign for the Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to it!

We went last year and apart from the weather it was OK. We are going on the Friday ( just to eat the Britstop sweets!) The exhibitor list looks much bigger this year and it will not snow!
Cheers

We went on Friday just gone, it was coldish and wet but we enjoyed it.
We bought a few things that we just couldn't do without or so my wife told me but to be fair the prices were good especially as there was no P&P to pay and we had a day out.
Would imagine it was packed today as weather so much better.
