enodreven Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hi, Did anyone get anywhere with arranging an "OutandAbout" get together/ meet at one of the Motorhome shows. I know this was raised regarding the "Midsummer Music and Leisure Show" and a couple of people were looking at contacting the organisers did anyone have any luck ? and would people attend if this type of meeting was arranged ?

JohnP Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I did phone Warners about this and they came back and said that this arrangement was only available for bona fide clubs. However I am going to write to them. I suppose we could use the arguement we are members of their "club" and should be allowed to rally together. How many forum users out there would like to be pitched together as a forum user group.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enodreven Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hi, John thats great please keep us informed of their reply. Do you think it would help if the moderator could change the title of the forum named "Midsummer Music and Leisure Show" to something like "Show meetings" or something similar ?

Don Madge Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 John, Motorhome Facts have a meet/rally at all the shows so there's no reason why Out & About can't do the same. It just needs somebody to get it organised 8-) Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is no real reason why Out And About members cannot have the same facility at one of their own shows. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I would be interested in how this idea develops. On another note, is there a place on this site/forum that has a list of shows with programmes? If not when is the next show that people may be aiming to meet at? Regards Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Newell Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hi Frank, The next major show that some of us will be attending is the Western Motrocaravan show at the Three Counties Showground, Malvern. Not this weekend coming but next weekend, Friday 11th to Sun 17th. Details are usually listed in MMM each month. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely that I can make that one but not totally out of the question. I don't get MMM regularly but do the venues appear on line anywhere?

JohnP Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I will let you know when I get a reply. Think it best if we were to consider Peterborough 2007 as a stat venue. No doubt Warners have got everything planned for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Is it me, am I the only one to feel that the shows charge too much to attend, which when done and said all is a overcrowed field with poor faciltys ie toilets, and if you are lucky showers, water taps, and elsan desposal. People attend to spend money, why should they be charged such a high fee for that privlidge, to put it another way, would you pay a fee to enter a shopping mall to spend your money ? I dont think so. The burden of cost should be borne my the exhibitors, yes o.k you may say then the items for sale would cost more to buy, but if you add up what you have bought and then the 2 to 3 night fee for the grass space your sqeezed on its not such a great deal. Looking at dealers showrooms cost nothing if you are after a van, accessories are cheaper at your local camping shop or over the internet, so for me I will see whats available in MMM and my local camping caravaning store and the money saved on attendance fees and cost of fuel getting there goes towards what I may be after. Each to their own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I am looking to try to reorganise a couple of things that may allow me the time to go to the Western show. Who from here is going and on what day? On the point of organising a rally at short notice, would it not be possible to meet at a location close to a venue and then drive to the venue so people would be likely to find themselves directed to the same area?
