kelly58 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Is anyone planning on going ?We have won tickets for the show next week thanks to Marquis / Autosleeper so will be having a day out. Although we have a new motorhome on order its the time of year just to have a wander around the show there may be something that takes our fancy.

Caddies104 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Kelvyn Yes we are going on Wednesday, not too far for us to travel, if you have not been before have good walking shoes on as it's a big show with several large Halls to go around.. You can get the Shuttle bus from the car park to the entrance, or if by train you can walk from the station (Birmingham International) straight into the show... Bought our last Motorhome from this show, no regrets Have a good day... Derek & Pauline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero boy Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yes, we will be going on tuesday or wednesday but havent decided if we are taking the van and then going on somewhere else or to use the car and then have a trip next week. We are coming from the south and are not looking to have a stay to the north of the NEC, otherwise a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddies104 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 There is a chance of Snow towards the end of the week, so go to the show earlier rather than late, but forecast may change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_C Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 This show is nowhere near as big as the October Motorhome and Caravan Show at the NEC, it's only in Halls 1-4, whereas the October one was over 11 Halls. Still, it's quality not quantity that counts, and I'll reserve judgement till I've been - I'm there on Tuesday & Wednesday.

Mel B Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Don't forget to take your own refreshments/lunch etc as it's horrendously priced and not brilliant IMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix Meanderer Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Mel B - 2013-02-17 2:00 PM Don't forget to take your own refreshments/lunch etc as it's horrendously priced and not brilliant IMV. Sorry Mel but don't agree with your view on the price of refreshments at the NEC. The food used to be expensive but the NEC changed their pricing policy some time ago and now they are not that much dearer than supermarket/sandwich shop prices in our area (Cambridge) and the drinks similarly. Plus you can sit at a proper table to eat rather than scrabbling around on the floor and you don't have to carry the food around either. So IMO for a few shillings more it really is worth buying their food. Of course if you have specific dietary needs then their food may not suit you. Finally the Premier Inn at the NEC does an excellent two course evening meal for £12.50 - really good food, we have eaten their most times we visit the NEC.

Keithl Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 We're going with friends on Tuesday and like Kelvin have also won tickets in a free give away :-D We're looking forward to seeing what new MH's, and more importantly gadgets, are on the market.
