Who is going to the National 2017?

Hi Rowena sorry we missed you also.we have such a busy weekend ,we arrived early Friday morning and havent stopped since.We have had a great weekend.Trying to see as much of the arena entertainment as time would permit,been around a Sandringham House & Gardens,watched the Monaco Grand Prix in the Whale sports bar,visited a couple of local beaches,walked a good few miles around the surrounding grounds ,my only criticism would be that it needs more traders.But we have had a great weekend and hope to get to Sledmore 2018.

Brian & Jo

Been here since Friday morning and nothing in the programme about a CT get together, tech forum this morning was disappointing, but they did admit the website is not as they were hoping for.

Hi Ian, so sorry about this. It was a late decision to have a get together so we missed the print deadline on the programme. We will try and arrange something again next year.   

Glad you have had a great time Brian & Jo and sorry we missed you - will have to meet up next year at Sledmere. 

Is that next year for this 'tech forum' also?

Or is that a different forum to this one?

Lovely sunny morning for our departure today. The time seems to have gone very quickly. Now time for us to head off to Scotland.

Tech forum was a Q&A session in the big marquee, lots of noise from the arena made it difficult to hear and it was quite poorly attended.

Good National on the whole but I was concerned at the lack of security  at the blue gate, anybody could drive in and turn left because the check point was 200 yards up the road.

Sorry Rowena missed all of the posts,due to very poor signal.We managed the bike ride,which was very well organised,did you and your family compete?

Cannot remember now what we did as found it a very busy 5 days.

Did not go online during national, so did not get details, I did go the club marquee at 11.00 following the church service, no body knew anything about a CT meet, eventually a young lady 'marshal' ? said you were outside earlier but could not find anyone, she said you would possibly be back soon, waited some time and then give up.

Perhaps a notice somewhere or info the 'desk' people may be a help next time.

Just returned so quick mention of the good points and not so good points.

Good.

Excellent effort by all pitching staff,the rate our section filled up on the Friday was short of amazing.

Weather and venue.

Evening entertainment,what we had booked for was certainly vg.

The horse show,not quite sure what you call it, but was a first for us.

Bad

Sound system massive booms over speaker system.

Whoever placed the dancefloor at the REAR of the Rod Stewart tribute act,needs to sit where we did and listen to the constant talking from rear of marquee.

The lack of "red" signposts until you got to the blue gate.Strange.
