Shrewsbury 2013

As newbies we are looking forward to this weekend which will be our first rally with the funsters ( or anyone else come to that! :Doh:). Just wondered if there's anything we should bring with us apart from the obvious!:wine:
Jim's report on Wrenbury mentioned an American supper. Is this the sort of thing that usually happens? Should we bring something suitable for that?

Just bring your sense of humour Ali,

The rest of the stuff you can leave at home. Oh but bring whiskey wine and chocolate cakes just in case I befriend you :Wink:
 
We will be trying out a Vango air awning for the first time of putting it up. So it may be valium rather than vino for us. :RollEyes:

Normally at shows we make our own entertainment, but at this one we join in with the crowd. The entertainment is open air, so we send off a few German funsters to the arena early to secure us the best bits, but there is plenty of room. The funsters gather in one area, and we blag a few tables and people dump nibbles on them, sort of an evening picnic, this happens both Friday and Saturday nights, the music finishes at around 11pm but a few stay on a little longer:Smile: This is followed by bacon sandwiches on Sunday.

The weather is looking good and I'm really looking forward to it:thumb:

How do get to Shrewsbury show? Do you have to book in advance? How much is it?do funsters have Raleigh ?
 
Early birds !!!

If anyone is arriving early ie today and want a stopover then I can recommend this place, excellent food and MH friendly, 5 miles from the town centre !

Ye Olde Crossgates Inn

On the Welshpool road just past the village of Ford where I live now !:thumb::thumb::thumb:

.

You can go as a day visitor either in your car or motorhome.
You can turn up and pay for weekend camping and you will go into "general camping" but dont be scared it's an easy walk to other club areas like Fun :thumb:
To go with Fun on a rally you have to pre-book and unfortunately that is now closed..
Looks like a good weekend, make your way there. You can still come meet up with us and have a drink or two BUT you will have to walk back to the "general" area to sleep in your van..:Smile:

ps,, Make a note on the directions!! Shrewsbury have some low bridges, inc one that reduces in height half way though.. Enter from the north..

Not sure.. They aint super low as i used to deliver around there many years ago but they can catch people out... There is one that changes half way through so it looks ok from 1 end and the in the middle drops down a few feet !! :Doh:
One of our new young drivers went in it and a box van became a flat bed :Rofl1::Rofl1:

Found it 11 foot.... Not an issue to most really but better to be warned I guess...
(hyperlink to google maps wont work :( )
