Last minute idea for value camping this year?! Spotted that 50 RVs :Grin: from our sister club RVOC are attending these three combined Shows & know that Fun has had a good relationship with the organiser in the past so contacted him to see if he could once again offer great value camping to Funsters. Currently waiting to see what is possible so if anyone is interested please post here or message us so we can alert you once the outcome is known. This may be just a discount code offer for booking online rather than an organised Meet as although we hope to, we may not be able to attend, but whatever the outcome please be aware of the Shows rules as well as Government guidelines to distance & keep COVID Safe.
Camping for the Shows is arriving Friday 18th & leaving Monday 21st September but that can be extended by arriving the Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday before at an extra £10 per unit per night. Have a look at these websites https://adventure-overland-show.com/ & https://international-campervan-show.com/ - they look interesting with stands, talks, food & maybe some open air entertainment (y) Stratford Racecourse facilities include toilets, showers, water,waste, laundry (extra cost) & well behaved dogs are welcome. All the popular attractions of Stratford are in walking & cycling distance.

Hi - good to hear that - will update as soon as the organiser gets back to us :)
Threads are easily "lost" on this busy forum as, like us, many only check Recent. We have had some messaging us as interested but it is very quiet on this thread at the moment!
 
Just FYI, I’m booked on Stratford Race. Course site this weekend as we are going to do some touristy bits around the town before the Pershore event on Monday. I was told at booking that the toilet/shower block isn’t open due to Covid19.

Thank you for the info. - certainly facilities for the Show camping are something to be double checked - have to admit we feel happier using our own at present but some would need these.
 
If it was a show situation then probably the racecourse would be open to the public and have some cleaning provisions in place for covid. I don't think they would want public punters using the trees and walls to" hide" behind. (y)

A very good point and one that is so logical, it must be the case! 👍

Any update on this please Wombles?

Good Morning - latest is that the Shows & camping are going ahead in a COVID Safe manner so anyone can book at any point & plenty of space so unlikely to be full but the organiser is looking into how viable it is to offer Fun a discount code (perhaps 20% so a good saving) just for Funsters without it becoming available to all. As we don't have membership cards it would have to rely on perhaps me private messaging it to those interested & trusting that those members don't share or pass it on as the concern would be the potentially huge loss of revenue if it did get used by unauthorised others. Reference facilities - I can double check those once we have a decision on the discount code although think they would have to provide at least toilets for such an event as well as water & waste for campers. Will update again as soon as we know more.
 
Carpmart Jimbohorlicks Chocy boy Grimsbygranny we have great news - it's not 20% discount as mentioned before but the organisers have kindly agreed a most excellent 50% discount strictly for Fun paid up subscription members only! :Grin: That's just £33.79 for 2 adults for 3 nights weekend camping in lovely Stratford Upon Avon & 2/3 Shows or just £22 for solo campers with earlier nights (see first post) at just £10 extra per night(y) We will be collating a list to make sure this is not passed on or shared & numbers are limited!
For anyone interested please read the following from the organisers & PM us (or post a message here & we will message you) for the Motorhome Fun exclusive code :) :

A hefty discount has been secured for members of Motorhome Fun at the joint “International Campervan Show” + “Adventure Overland Show” at Stratford-upon-Avon Racecourse CV37 9SF weekend of 19-20 September 2020 … basically it’s “2 shows for the price of 1”.

www.international-campervan-show.com

www.adventure-overland-show.com

Due to the lockdown and loss of earnings by many, I can offer members of MHF a one-off discount of 50% on the camping passes at the forthcoming show. These are limited in number, so ‘first come, first served’.
VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT PASS THIS CODE ON. To put quite simply – to do so will jeopardise future discounts with us and other organisers. Far from being ‘rivals’, organisers talk to each other, so we would quickly find out if discount schemes have been improperly used. This hefty one-off discount is solely due to help out is what has been a terrible year for the show season, please don’t abuse it.

How to book:-

One you have received the special MHF discount code, go to Broken Link Removed When it says ENTER A DISCOUNT CODE, enter the code and the price will automatically reduce by half. You can then can print off an e-ticket to bring with you for scanning at the gate upon arrival at the racecourse. Simple! No e-ticket, no entry. The alternative is to pay full price in cash at the gate. With Track & Trace in operation we have to be strict , the local authority will be watching us.

See you at one of the most diverse shows you’ve ever attended!

All Funsters are most welcome :) Will PM you.
For now it's a very loose Meet as although we aim to be there we can't be definite as waiting on a hospital appointment, we don't have our own Fun area so think we shall all probably be spread around the camping areas & we can't greet, gather & interact as we would like to due to COVID! :( However being Funsters sure we will manage to locate each other & have some safe SD friendly chats regardless, the Shows do look interesting & Stratford is a pleasant area.
 
Please note that if our messages are shorter than usual it's because we are trying to reply to all the queries for this thread whilst frantically packing to go to Pershore Meet! :active: :dance2:Will do our best tomorrow but likely to be off line on Monday then catching up on phones on Tuesday. Will deal with everything in date & time order - the discount code can be used a limited number of times so please don't leave it too long if you do want to go along on this one.

Hi Wombles, looks good, can we come along also please?
See you at Pershore, will be arriving Tuesday.
Many Thanks
TinaL & Les
 
Many Thanks
We have booked for 3 nights, got E Tickets already.
Might well go a day earlier pay extra at gate, if other funsters are doing similar.
Best wishes.
LES & TinaL
 
Can I thank Wombles for organising this And;

They have organised for Motorhomefun to WIN Two Family Packages of Camping and Entry tickets for the whole weekend to be Auctioned for Charity. (Prostate Cancer UK)

So, if you haven't bought your tickets yet, could I ask that you hold back for a while.

There will be a chance for you to Win. I will be putting in all the details in the 'Competitions' Page on Fun as soon as I've woken up.

Regards

Derek aka Emmit
 
For anyone who hasn't bought their tickets yet suggest trying the auction as Emmit mentioned above - this is the thread https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/foru...dventure-overland-18th-21st-sept-2020.225906/ so maybe worth bidding as could go for less than the 50% discounted price?! It's worth a try & for a very good cause (y) They were donated with a raffle in mind but hopefully the auction will raise more for Prostrate Cancer UK.
There are still enough discounted places (so far!) so no risk of losing that option at present - currently checking on latest date that the code can be used so will keep this thread updated.
