N.E.C Temp Site October 2018

Its fully booked Brue,I only know that because I tried to book.

On another thread,the children's school holidays in Kent start on the 22nd October for two weeks.

Just wonder if this would have any effect on show attendance.

Hi everyone, have any of you stayed at the temporary site before?  I was wondering what the on site catering is like and what sort of prices they charge for breakfast or evening meal.  Thanks in advance.  Marie.

Hi there Marie we have stayed on the temp.site many times and the on site catering is usually done by Mr.T,s Roasties ,he,s been on the show circuit for as long as i can remember.prices and the food are ok.

Thank you BrianJoNB, we will give them a go then, it will be nice to not have to cook.

I was also wondering, if the weather is half decent, is it worth taking a table and chairs for sitting outside or are you quite shoehorned it with it just being a temporary site.  And, what is the TV reception like with an aerial?  Many thanks.

Your never shoehorned in and always parked very sensibly with plenty of space. Don’t know about tv with aerial because we have satellite which is fine.

And  the  Club  Hires  Out  that  kit  to  'needy'  Shows / Rallies such  as  a  certain G D S F of  my  acquaintance

I can never work out why there is always so much griping and moaning about costs when the C&MC set up a temporary site or anything else to do with the C&MC for that matter.The bottom line is it’s a business with huge overheads that have to be covered and a profit has to be made to enable the club to improve and keep going forward by upgrading sites ,employing staff etc.etc.If people are so annoyed with the club and don’t agree with what they are doing or what they are charging,then why join ,why continue to be a member.On a much smaller scale we have our own business and have just entered our 33rd year and I know if we didn’t make a sustainable profit we wouldn’t have made it that far.I believe that the temporary site fees are fair and for us it’s convenient.As for the food and drink prices ,well you go to any event or concert and the prices will be high,businesses have to make money to stay alive ,if people can’t accept that then don’t join.
