Hi all, had a great day yesterday. Handed out 000's of flyers, and answered hundreds of "wot is Motorhomefun then?" "Free! where the catch?" ::bigsmile: We also had a queue most of yesterday waiting in line to try the Link Removedwe could have sold our demo one 30 times!

Just getting ready to do it all again. If you are coming along today pop in and see us, and if you want to stop for half an hour and hand our some flyers, even better:thumb:

Whatever you are doing, have a great weekend. :Smile:

Was hoping to see you today but got to my van, in storage compound, and found the windscreen that was replaced 2 weeks ago by autoglass was leaking rainwater in two places.:Doh:
As the leak was right on the drop down bed when dropped down I decided against coming and contacted autoglass instead.
I particularly wanted to buy a flag at the show as I haven't seen them yet.
I will take a chance and buy one on line, as I already have a sticker, which seems good.

Tomorrow?

I was hoping to call in today but had too little time to do too much. :Sad:

I've never been to Newbury, but after Cardiff lost today in the FA cup I could do with some cheering up.

What is Newbury like on the Sunday?

I can't decide whether to go to Newbury tomorrow or save my money for the Stratford Show, so any pointers would be great ::bigsmile:

Thanks,

Andy

picked up my sticky window things what are great, doing a great job Jim

keep up the good work...

i did pass one stand that was selling inferior brake assistors and let them know i had seen some that were better with a nice chrome bit, much better than the plain plastic items he was selling!

What meet? I have approahed and made conversation with a couple of the campers on this Fun pitch but no one has come to me! Just a couple of friends from the ARV club.

Mind you went to Newbury on the shuttle bus had a few pints while we watched the scummers beat Cardiff:thumb: it was funny to see the Welsh whingers in the pub crying in their beer:thumb::thumb:

To make matters worse coming from Southampton we hate Pompey they will really rub our noses in it now!!!

Hi Pat
I think I'm right saying that this is the first fun meet you've been on unfortunately it was never going be one the better ones not enough attendees , normaly Jim has the marque/tent for evening get togethers.Jim & Bryan are normaly camped with the rest of us but due to show regs they had to pitch with traders at this one. our normal meets go on into the small hours in the tent
Please don't think this the norm for fun meets and try to come to one of the bigger meets
cheers mate

Exhibiting at a Warners show is NEVER fun! I have never known event organisers be so anal. Their latest is to threaten to ban exhibitors if they share electrics! They also charge £10 parking for exhibitor vehicles. They really do treat exhibitors appallingly.
Still, they'd made their profit before a single day visitor arrived. Pity a lot of the traders can't say the same.

Well just got back from Newbury. Spoke to Jim and liked the new chrome brake extender so much decided to have one when they are in stock. Forgot to pick up a pennant DOH! Spent a few bob on 2 new batteries, Wind break and a few other things. Wanted a nature pure filter but have nowhere to fit it under the sink so bottled water for a while. Eddi - Tawny had a good time, she managed to get a pair of Deck Shoes and a "Bag" !!! We spoke to our 2 neighbours but didnt see Roughin it smoothly at all throughout the weekend. I also spoke to Pete on the Gaslow stand and was informed that they - CMR - are now repairing Dometic and other fridges.

Hi Dave sorry we missed you we were not in the van much to be honest met up with an old haulier friend parked over on the ARVE pitch and did a few miles reminiscing the old days.

Also got some stick off some of the ARV club members for not booking with them they did not have a marshall either as there was only six of them attending.

No Tony I will not give up on the club and will try to attend a more popular meet only trouble is that they all seem to be a fair way from us and we cant get away if we have our son with us till about 3.45 on a Friday and to get to Peterborough/Newark etc at that time on a Friday night would take hours!

Still here's till next time:thumb::thumb:

Will try to get to Stratford but I think Mrs D has us booked to go to a local function on the Saturday night:Sad:

Regards Pat

There were some very cheap batteries about at Newbury, but be warned they may not last!

If they were any good we would be selling them due to the huge increases in battery prices lately.

Keep the receipts.

Regards
