Never mind the show, all variations of Funster Band(s) were great last night. You can't beat live music.
Thanks guys and girls.

One of the stalls did have them, but I can't remember which one, sorry. I was thinking about getting some, but I didn't in the end.We have been a few times just for the day and have noticed the accessories stalls have decreased. Still think it's worth a look as
I'm after some awning tie downs,has anyone one spotted any
And can point me in the right direction?
I totally understand this point of view - but I disagree.First off we would like to thank the marshals for their sterling work getting everyone parked up.
As has been touched on in previous posts, the attendance in the marquee was very disappointing. This is the main place for new members to meet others and feel their feet within Fun. We went into the marquee on Thursday night along with about a dozen others probably about a third of whom were new members. We did our bit to make them feel welcome but the lack of numbers was embarrassing. Friday afternoon was supposed to be another chance to meet and greet, this was even worse, just us two and two other new couples. We had a laugh and a joke but there was no getting away from the fact that the initial impression was of a club that promotes itself on being the friendly club but in reality it seemed no one could be ar**ed to make the effort. I hope that with our reassuring words in their ears they will continue to attend meetings but initial experiences for them weren't good.
Finally, make no mistake about it, Jim works hard to get us these facilities and I'm sure if Warners get wind of the fact that the marquee they are providing is in effect empty then they may take the view that they won't bother. If you don't use it you may lose it.

Looking forward to itSee ya there next weekend
It is certainly easier to get together and get to know people at smaller events where one can sit and chat. That was facilitated in years gone by the smaller numbers meant that there wasn't the demand for one large "venue", gatherings tended to be outdoors or in event shelters and awnings tied together. There wasn't any music (the notorious several hours of Hey Baby at Newark excepted ) because there wasn't the room or the power available.I totally understand this point of view - but I disagree.
MHF is a collection of like minded motorhomers but it is not a "club". Jim and volunteers do their best to provide facilities etc at these events but what actually happens is up to individuals - there is no guarantee of entertainment or activities 'provided'. This is spontaneous, it happens or it doesn't.
I think as MHF gets bigger & bigger that some expect "stuff" to be laid on - that's not my understanding - it's up to individuals to do whatever... MHF might provide the tent to keep off the rain.
If one assumes that the discount and preferential siting is all that is on offer then one won't go far wrong.
Lincoln is a huge event - and dare I say, not the best for first time Funsters.
In fact... I've not yet been to a Funsters meet but was put off attending this one purely because of the high numbers.
Though everyone will try to be sociable, its too much to expect anyone to take a newbie under their wing.
It has been said before - start with the smaller meets.
I hope this is true because my first time is next weekend at Malvern, where I think there'll be thirty vans and it'll be much more chilled.

Better, I suppose, than the prominent "Beware Of The Dog" sign I saw in one van window at LincolnPerhaps @Jim could come up with a little flag/sign to be displayed when occupants have an 'open door' for a bit of a chat, a glass of wine or a constant flow of running tea & coffee..
"The Funsters Is In"

If I'd put that on our van my wife would have made my ball bag into a swimming cap for meBetter, I suppose, than the prominent "Beware Of The Dog" sign I saw in one van window at Lincoln
Thanks for pointing that out that's it's not a club, can't recall actually mentioning that but now I at least know the status of Fun in your opinion. Am sure we will meet up at some point, not sure of the firewater but a nice glass of well chilled wine will be all I'll require.Ray I'm glad you enjoyed in the end and who knows perhaps one we will meet and drink some firewater and discuss life and the meaning of the universe. Just one thing motorhome fun is not a club it is a happening for like minded people

Bugger. Bought a few useful bits and pieces from him yesterday, didn't realise he was a funster. Seemed to be busy though.Our own funsters @jezport have a stand Parrotsol that do tie downs... and funsters discount I believe.
I saw that sign, however, I did not see the dog however, maybe it was one of those false security things, like an empty alarm box on a house?Better, I suppose, than the prominent "Beware Of The Dog" sign I saw in one van window at Lincoln
