rolandrat Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The weather forecast is far from favourable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit_Stops Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 According to my plan (and the one you can see on the Warners website) many of the traders (including us) are indoors in two large halls at Harrogate, and those that are not are on hard standing around the buildings. The car parking is also on hard standing so there shouldn't be any problems with getting bogged down if it's wet. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brit_Stops Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 ...and don't tell anyone, but you can get a discount voucher HERE. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocro Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Oh,to be in England now that spring is here. 3 inches of snow on ground, driving snow. All accessories inside fortunatly. Poor buggers outside trying to sell vans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B. Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Was intending to visit today but can't even open the garage to get the car out! 12 inches of snow and 2-3 foot drifts here and it's still snowing!- we are only 40 minutes away from Harrogate. Forecast is same for tomorrow but with a bit of luck we might make it Sunday-all this for a windbreak & and some toilet chem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intransit Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Just returned from braving the snow and biting winds to visit the show, we live 30 mins away. Very disappointing, the "megastore" accessorys hall was mediocre with some stall holders not turning up. All motorhomes are outside and you will need your thermal undies on to look round them!. Thanks to the Britstop link , we down loaded the voucher for admission, 2 for £10, glad we did. We joined Britstop this year and had a nice chat with them at their stand.

Barryd999 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Sadly we were going to go today partly to catch up with our friends Catherine and Chris from http://www.bobilstore.com but the weather is awful and due to get worse. We live in the Dales and whilst we might have got there we might not have got back! I was looking forward to seeing a few new vans although I suspect I will be keeping Hank the Tank until his wheels drop off! My sympathy goes out to all those traders who I suspect will be dissapointed this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 According to the pie stall holder at Newark who's boss is manning a stall at the Harrogate show, Harrogate have had 18 inches of snow! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) I knew I should have gone to Harrogate instead of Newark, at least I could have had a snowball fight to keep warm there!

Mike B. Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well it's still thigh deep up here and howling gales! Not going to dig the drive out to get out to get stuck on the road-think we'll wait until it warms up and visit a show later in the year when it's just floods! Anyone round Grange Moor who wants 2 free tickets-you can have 'em if you come and collect 'em Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Lee Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 We went to Newark yesterday, and were told by the guys on the gate that Harrogate had been called off. I dont know where this information came from but it appears to be incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
