yeti Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I am led to believe that the Northern show will be at Tatton this coming year. Yet you are indicating on this site that it will be at Pickering,which is correct? I hope it is at Tatton,apart from being handier for me it would be a much better site!!

I would prefer Pickering - apqrt from it being handier for me I would argue it is a much better area of interest for the stay.... David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 There was a great deal of criticism about Pickerings access from the road. Tatton is better just a breeze from M6 and M56. Alternatively it may be at the Cheshire Showground at Tabley,even closer to the M6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWO Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Another well known motorhome forum, it advertising that it's northern motorhome show rally will be at Knutsford next year.

Syd Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 A little bit higher Yeti, maybe Derby or Sheffield. Below them two is "The Midlands" and below, say Luton, is the "South" Well thats what I think for what it is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallii Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The ancient Kingdom of Mercia is centrally placed within these Britannic Isles, soon we to will have our own parliament, we hope to have our own currency and revive the old Saxon language. We hope to retain all the revenue from the coal mines which we will reopen and restart our steel production. We would start production of the Austin Princess, a fine car, as soon as practicable. We hope to one day be fully independent, although we would keep the Queen as head of state and allow free passage up the M6 (except the M6 Toll). Those in the know will have sampled our local wines and soon we will resume production of "West Mercia Whisky" made from apples. Faggots, grey peas and black pudding will be a national dish and this will be swilled down with Mild Ale from the Three Tuns independent brewery.

Clive Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Warners Shows next year I understand are :- Peterborough Apr 23-25 Newbury May 21-23 Prestwold June 18-20 Cheshire Jul 16-18 Malvern Aug 13-15 Lincoln Sep 24-26 Does that help? P.S. We liked Pickering much more than York because of the rides over the Dales etc on our bikes. We don't like towns. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornwall????? :-S As Cornwall is a separate country from England ( as is well known) then the 'Western' cannot be in Cornwall. And 'North' is anywhere above Bristol to us Janners.

lizken Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 As usual, anywhere North of Manchester does not warrant consideration. It is time for a referendum for independence for the North - Cumbria, Northumberland, Durham, Teesside,Yorkshire and Lancashire - the forgotten counties - OR should we join force with Scotland, and share their addtional benefits as we approach old age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJH Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Thing is what would a referendum achieve? We were talking yesterday about possible alternative venues for something like the Northern Show. Apart from Harrogate Showground we couldn't think of anywhere with sufficient space and decent road links. There was a WWII airfield on Tees-side (Thornaby) which could have been made into something like the showgrounds further south but it was turned into housing & industrial estates instead. Whether we like it or not, it appears to me that northern England simply doesn't have an appropriate venue. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo3090 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Amazing! Let's slag the place off 8 months before the show has been on! Tabley has several major ourtdoor shows each year. It is about 3 minutes down a major A road from the M6 junction 19. Why not wait until AFTER you've been there before complaining about the venue?

yeti Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Some people just slag of for the sake of it. suffice to say that the proposed site is STILL the home to one of the largest and best county shows in the country. Especially in the times when many are ceasing to take place. It has all the infrastructure that a large event like this requires and as you quite rightly say,has excellent transport links. The only other comment I would make is that I have always considered Cheahire to be North Midland not North West. for me the North West starts at Carlisle. Lets see a pedantic geographer pick the bones out of that one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starvin marvin Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I don't care where its held, I won't be going to either place. If I want to have a look at a lot of useless objects there's an Ikea and a Lakeland just up the road from me. Shows? Bah Humbug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
