Join us at our biggest NEC show yet

Well  what  a  pathetic  excuse  for  an  Announcement  !!

Immediately  I  realised  what  has  happened  I  texted  my

friends  in  Fuengerola  &  told  them  of  the  name  change.

Straight  away  back  came  the  response  :--

And  What's  Wrong  With  Caravan, Motorhome  and

Trailer  Tent  Club  ??!!

 

Just  got  back  to  the  County  Palatine  &  made  a 

brew  to  help  me  cool  down     !!

  The  only  person  I  met  who  knew  me  was  ====  wait

for  it  ====  wait  for  it  ====  the  salesman  on  a  certain 

North  Walian  cheese  stall 

 

Apart  from  that  and  the  youngsters  trying  to  pacify  us

with  Cinnamon  flavoured  Chocolates  --  which  I    as  a 

card  carrying  diabetic  had  to  refuse  and  then  a  Club

rebranded  ball-point  pen ( now that  I  did  accept  ) 

there  were  no  "Takers"  for  the  A B M   Coffee  & 

Danish  offer    !

 

All  in  all  the  only  good  part  was  the  easy  run  down 

the  M6  to  E4  car  park.

  Don't  think  I  will  bother  in  future!

Tinners,  mate  Correct  apart  from  the  "golden"  bit    --

should  be  of  a  darker  hue  as  far  as  I  am  concerned!!

It  does  not  appear  to have  stimulated  the  Wednesday  visitors  either  AD

I  was  hoping  somebody  would  have  "Done  A  DSB"  to  help  lighten  the  atmosphere  on  CT  a  bit!  Lots  of  nasty  stuff  flowing  today,  so  I'm  hoping  some  of  Thursdays  NEC  visitors  have  something  fresh  to  chat  about.

And  not  a  single  addition  to  the  few  posts  from  Tuesday &  Wednesday !!  Ah  well,  back  to  the  tellybox  and / or  the  work  on  Word,  for  the  updating  of  my  slides  data  !!

Been to the show today, very dissapointing.

Yes, loads of nice caravans and motorcaravans, even a sweet speed boat!

But our main reason for going was to grab some bits and pieces for the imminent arrival of our new caravan. So armed with a fistful of cash, and a credit card we bought............... nothin! apart from a dinner service. Oh we could have ordered stuff, but we really wanted to take it back home with us.

We would like to see an area dedicated for accessories, with a reasonable amount of stock. I am aware of the logistical task this may take, but I`m sure the suppliers would reap the rewards for their efforts?

Anyone else agree??

Although  I  was  there  on  Tuesday, Club  day,    I  was  surprised  at  how  little  there  was  to  tempt  me  to  spend,  G.C..

If  I  spent  £70  in  total  that  would  include  my  cheese  and  the  fuel  for  the  day  !!

I  think,  unless  the  "Powers  That  Be"  offer  me  a  very  good  reason  to  go { A K A bribe !}  I've  free-parked  at  the  N E C   for  the  last  time  .

I am inclined to agree with you ABM.

I think the next time we go, will be to just upgrade our caravan to see if any deals can be had

I'm always disappointed in the number of stalls with gadgets and accessories. That's what I go for.  I don't buy new caravans so gadgets and accessories are the main draw  

I swore that my visit to the NEC in the autumn would be my last  I entered through the wrong door and ended up in the motorhome section. It took ages to find my way out.  I felt like I was in a famous episode of Father Ted  

(in order to be inclusive I'm not interested in UK caravans either)

 

Hang on ????? 

£70 . . . . 

Fuel . . . 

And cheese!  . .  .???? Cheese????
