Mel B Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 We're going to the Stratford Racecourse (22-24 June, staying from the Tuesday - not a Warners show) and the Western Show at Malvern (Warners) in August, combining both with other weeks away to make longer holidays. We might also do the Season Finale at Lincoln, but probably only as day visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmold Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 We've done Newark and Peterborough, only Shrewsbury (non-Warners) left to do this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly58 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Did Newark was going to Peterborough but was rained off not made any other plans yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Went to Exeter, Shepton Mallet, Romsey, (none Warners), Newbury (Warners),and maybe Shepton Mallet again in September, combining it with a holiday. Thinking of Stratford but depends on where we go previous week. As we live in the West Country its a bit expensive to get to most of the Warners shows.

Dave Newell Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Done Peterborough and Newbury, not bothering with Stratford, Shrewsbury, Chester or Northampton. Our next show is Malvern then Lincoln and that'll do for this year. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit_Stops Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 We'll be at all of them this year, then may be a bit choosier next year. B-) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 We hope to Mel but we have family gatherings that weekend which threaten to take over our lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Don't really "do" the Warners circuit. Went to Excel earlier in the year, and going to Horizons Open Day at the end of July, but that's all - at least until we're "in the market" again.

Bojitoes Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Will probably go to Stratford as day visitors, we are still waiting for the van to be repaired after the next door neighbour made a rather costly error of judgement a few weeks back. A real pain waiting for parts to come from Italy so we have been stuck at home for the last few weeks. We meant to go to Peterborough but got put off by the rain and the bump has put paid to both kelmarsh and the Swansea shows Hope the weather is ok and that its a good show bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirage Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Along the lines of the original post is how little discussion takes place on new models, sign of the times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojitoes Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Just had to have a recheck seeing Flicka's post. Stratford show is 22-24th June, not next weekend-hopefully the weather will have improved by then! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyhb Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Thinking about going to Düsseldorf & spend a few days in Germany, we find the show much more interesting and more worthwhile than UK ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 We went to Peterborough last year......and the one before that was Earl's Court..........15+ years ago..... I think we can call ourselves show regulars now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordThornber Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 None. We attended York a couple of years back with the intention of seeing a particular van. The dealer, who we'd contacted before the show, assured us the van would be there, was a dead loss. We introduced ourselves, asked about the van (a Rapido) and was told glibly that the van hadn't made it to the show due to operation reasons. When we challenged them, stating the obvious, (i.e. that we were there specially) we barely received an apology let alone an explanation as to where we could see the van and/or if they'd bring it to us, (yeh, right). Once bitten, twice - sod off. Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertandjean Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Just coming to end of a really good week-end at Brownhills Summer Spectacular. Three nights camping, two nights entertainment, two meals, afternoon tea, mini-golf etc all free. Much better value than other shows! (almost as good as La Belle France). Seriously had a great time, met some really nice people and looking forward already to next Brownhill event. Yes know many people on here do not like Brownhills but which other dealers offer events like these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The only thing I have ever found "spectacular " about Brown ills is their extortionate pricing on imported vans!lol An absolute disgrace..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 flicka - 2012-06-09 9:12 PM Weather forecast for Stratford is not too good for next weekend, Friday 15 Jun Hopefully for those going, the forecasters are wrong. But is it just me who finds they are more often wrong when predicting Good Weather >:-( Thanks John for that in depth analysis - very kind of you. Just one slight snag - the show is the following weekend - 22nd June! Do try and stay awake!! There is a show next weekend but as we are not going there it don't much matter what the weather does as those that go to shows in the wet and mud always claim to enjoy them!!

WildBill Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Can't make Stratford, been away most weekends since picking up the van and need a weekend at home to do some work and plan a stopover for a solar panel fit late June or early July. Also need to curtail the mileage on the van or I will need to pay extra and change the insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen of Brownhills pricing it's far from free don't delude yourself every Brownhills customer pays highly for it in their grossly inflated prices.
