Over by the A1 , social distancing. Haha

 

[jezport]

There may not be a showguide but I can be found on stand 38
Ask anyone for the people with the big parrot!

 

[rosalan]

If we are by the A1, that can be a bus ride in to the show or we may have to use our electric bikes. Come back Jim, I am missing you already.

 

[jezport]

It's around 31degrees here in Peterborough, no getting stuck in mud this year.

As I live less than 20 mile away, I'm considering going for a look around. Don't have a MH, can't afford one yet either, but it would be nice to see something in the flesh so to speak, instead of just looking at pics on line.

You need to pre book or you wont get in, it's part of the covid precautions

We missed the camping booking, but booked for the show. I found couple of places on park4night so we can arrive Friday evening. Hopefully we will find a space to sleep.

We were originally booked for April 2020, with has now been moved to April 2021

SWMBO is umming and ahhing about us going this weekend.

How many trade stands will there be?
it's now Friday and <Broken link removed> on line.

Which make me wonder if its just a few dozen gazebo's in a field,
Will it be basically a glorified boot sale ??

Which would not really worth a 300 mile round trip

Are they still expecting "10,000+ day visitors ...." etc

Helping DG Motorhomes delivering their Motorhomes yesterday the show ground looks very different from the massive show we are used to but still plenty to see so enjoy your day out over the weekend. Don’t
Forget you hats and sun cream your going to need them

 

[Brains]

Finally, 6 weeks late, they have listed the stands here
and the layout is here
Only one manufacturer and less than a dozen sales companies,

Less than 100 of the trade stands have been taken, which I'm afraid means we are talking about a glorified village fete.

I don't think will will be making the 300 mile round trip for it.
Shame.

We got here Friday afternoon to hot to do anything but laze in the sun, got up late and had a wander around the show, yes it is smaller but traders seem to be fairly busy and most people are doing sd.
I guess camper levels are at about 25‰ of normal which means you can near enough park where you like, we have a nice corner spot and are Billy no mates.

Where you used to come of the roundabout and drive with the fence on your left and the large grassed area to your right which used to stacked, that's not being used, all campers are inside the fence on your right.


Personally I think Warners have done well to run a show at all so hats of to them.

 

[Brains]

Odd, we have just received the 'rules' email from Warners complete with trade map.
I'd have thought it's a bit late to be sending that out on a Saturday night when most people have either arrived already or have been and gone!

We are now home, I think the show was worthwhile attending as a day visitor or camper.
Health wise the spacing allowed social distancing and traders set their displays out sensibly so visitors could safely visit the show.
As a trader it was borderline when you take expenses, stress and time into consideration.

 

[StanandShirley]

The cost of a pitch at the this show and other Warner Shows are killing the traders attending
Less and less for us to have a good old rummage. I know the restrictions this year were tight for the traders but felt they did their best. It was pity that most visitors didn’t wear face masks, common sense went out the window.
