Rally Flower show and messing about on the river @Shrewsbury (1 Viewer)

[funflair]

OK after a bit of banter on a planning thread this Rally is now taking place from August 10th for up to 6 nights so leaving on the 16th. I say up to because you don't have to do the full 6 nights just a minimum of 3 nights and you can stay longer if you wish but I am going home.

The venue is http://www.westmidshowground.com which is less than a mile to the centre of what is a beautiful town with loads of independent shops cafes and restaurants, and a couple of Wetherspoons.

The main attraction on this particular weekend is the annual Shrewsbury flower show http://shrewsburyflowershow.org.uk which is on the Friday and Saturday, for these two days there will be a park and ride running from the West Mids Showground and as we are already parked there we can jump on the bus to the Flower show. Anybody who wants to do the show on two days would be well advised to join the Horticultural society and get show tickets at discount prices (its all on the web site).

The additional activity is a bit of canoeing and general "messing about on/in the river" as we are close to the river and I and other have a canoe/kayak it seemed rude not to give it a go. If you don't have a canoe or kayak but fancy having a go just indicate this when you put your name down on this thread and we will see what we can accommodate but it does depend on how many people come bringing their own craft.

Cost will be £8 per night without electric or £13 with electric (pre booked only) subject to a minimum of 35 vans otherwise it will be £10 and £15.

EDIT Oops should have said 65 places, put your names down now and then I will post details of how to part with your money later.

It'll be our 1st rally - are we OK to bring 3 dogs ?
Will have to look at dates but would be a minimum of the 3 from the start, EHU if available but not necessary.
Hopefully somebody will drag Mrs along to the flower show as dogs not allowed and she doesn't want to go on her own.

Thanks Al & Lorri

Come on down, there will be plenty of folk going to the flower show so Mrs will not be lonely, although I can't promise she will be in safe hands either.

The dogs will be fine keeping you company.

[Teasy2007]

Hi this sounds like fun, please put us on the list.

 

[reckless]

Sounds great please put us 2 down for min 3 nights, possibly more, with EHU. When do you need to know for sure the number of nights?

At least one of us would like to try the canoe experience if possible.

This will also be our first rally, looking forward to it.

Hi reckless

Thanks for that, we only need to know your chosen number of nights when you pay, in a few months time I will announce that it is time to pay and then you will make your booking directly with the showground. I will put you down as interested in the canoeing but what exactly is happening is up in the air still.

Good spot that, thanks for reading the bits I never bother doing

Apparently they have livestock so no dogs are allowed, I had only read 'flower show' never thought to check

Anyway good news is it will save me buying a ticket and Bev will happily escort Mrs adt

David does that mean that you are going to volunteer to do a bit Marshalling on Friday and Saturday if I have to accompany Mrs Funflair into the flower show.
