I'll catch you at Peterborough when I bring you the Supreme Acklam Piesties (complete with carrots of course)Enjoyed the show due to the good company..... the rest was a bit average but worth a look every couple of years. Saw a very nice Frankia but that was about it, really.
.....oh, and got out of buying @GJH lunch the Dux wallet still remains intact

Must say that we were disappointed with the show this year. All we bought were a couple of their overpriced sandwiches. Don't think we will bother with this particular show again.

Our bus had leather seats so that was a bonus!Best thing was the free bus ride from the show car park past all the lovely empty car parks nearer to the show that had obviously been left empty to save us all using our precious fuel driving to somewhere we could park and walk from thus putting their bus drivers jobs in jeopardy......

We spent less than 30 quid in 3 days - 2 coffees, 2 cokes and 2 tickets using the C&CC voucher on Friday. First time we had been to teh February show. We enjoyed it but will probably stick to October in future.Must say that we were disappointed with the show this year. All we bought were a couple of their overpriced sandwiches.

We didn't bother with the marquee. As we could hear the bands from inside our van a good distance away we decided it would be much too loud insideWe also had a good nights entertainment in the cclub marquee on Tuesday.
It's alright for you. When we were stood standin' on Thursday I had to talk to @eddievanbitz. Got him back though - he had to talk to meStood standin for us folk.
Apparently, yes, at some events. I don't know what the net total of parking and tickets is in such cases though.does it actually cost £12 to park there sometimes?

I'm confused ... if you stayed on the CC 'site' didn't it also cost you £30 a night for the privilege?I thought by doing this you also got 'free' entry into the show each day ... if not and you have to pay for entry on TOP, which is what I assume due to you using the C&CC voucher, then it was an EXPENSIVE show!We spent less than 30 quid in 3 days - 2 coffees, 2 cokes and 2 tickets using the C&CC voucher on Friday.

By the time we saw you we had already eaten our sandwiches so you were safe I don't guarantee the same at Peterborough........and it would have been less than 20 quid had we not succeeded in avoiding you for lunch.........
I meant we spent less that 30 quid at the show The temp site cost £35 a night and that doesn't include tickets. However, we were given the tickets we used on Wednesday and bought the Thursday ones in advance so didn't include that as spending at the showI'm confused ... if you stayed on the CC 'site' didn't it also cost you £30 a night for the privilege?I thought by doing this you also got 'free' entry into the show each day ... if not and you have to pay for entry on TOP, which is what I assume due to you using the C&CC voucher, then it was an EXPENSIVE show!

Same here ,didn't go this year as last year was bad enough..the Warners shows are so much better as you can browse without any pressure ,and of course motorhomefun is at most if not all so a good weekend and usually great entertainment always available... Much better .as you're fair!y local, the southern show is on at Newbury in may.always a good turnout of exhibitors and good evening entertainment a d of course the funsters Will be there ..Roy
Look forward to meeting you both ..at both the venues ..the Newbury show is much bigger than the Romsey show ,but both have their merits ..RoyWe are going to the Romsey show next month and we'll also be at Newbury so hope to see you there. We are booked to stay on the CC club pitch but will wander over to see you all.

If you went into the other North carpark you would get a £12 fee on leaving as the other show organiser made a mistake in the negotitions. It was a sewing exhibition. I was there overnight and the attendant told me to go to the South park which I did. Cost nothing.There was a sign on the car park saying that by parking for free you had "saved" £12. I presume that's because it would have cost £12 to park in Central London if you had gone there instead of the NEC, or maybe it would have cost £12 to buy an Airfix model or a jigsaw puzzle if you had stayed at home instead of going to the show? If the car parking had cost £12 I would have turned straight round and gone to Fosters fishing tackle shop to spend it on maggots rather than give it to them lot! I guess they just plucked any old number out of the air, or does it actually cost £12 to park there sometimes?
Thinking back over several visits I think queue length varies with time. We were using the Campsite bus, which left from next to the North bus stop, and I didn't notice excessively long queues. What I did notice, though, was that there seemed to be far more buses serving the East car parks so maybe that was a factorWe were parked up at E1 with our motor home and had a coach to the site with only 4 people on it. Was surprised at how long the queues for the return trip to North car parks were, ours were not very long so the East car parks must be the ones to choose.
