Mel B Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've put this on here 'cause not many people look in the 'shows' bit! Who's going and does anyone know what the site layout will be? In the past I've been able to oggle a layout plan but I can't find one at all for this year's show. We are going to go for Friday to Sunday but as we belong to several of the 'clubs' which give discounts we don't know which one to choose to camp with. We want to choose based on the camping site layout, and/or who else is going and camping, so come one, who else is going for the weekend and which 'bit' are you going to be sited in? I thought it would be nice if a few of us gathered up on an evening (yes, I know Tracker is planning on going but, what the heck, the more the merrier ;-) ). (lol) Also, is anyone planning on going to see Julian and the Elvis tribute band? My hubby quite fancies it. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonYates Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi Mel If its of any help I can send you a copy of the layout. Won’t be till tomorrow as my scanner is playing up. We booked in the Camping Club area, however had a letter today saying that Camping club will not have it’s own area due to some problem with Marshal’s. They sent us a replacement pass for the general area. The layout looks different to the previous years, probably due to the new indoor exhibition centre I guess.

tp002c784tp002c784tp Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi Mel We have booked up Thursday to Monday must try out the new van, i was never a lover of the Peterborough show we had a bad experience of this show during one stormy season. but last year we went because we had a new van and wanted a solar panel fitted, Airide and Ultraseal in the tyres and would you believe we had them all fitted by 2pm on the Friday. But alas we lost that van in the storms last July so we are starting all over again. We always camp in the disabled area as I have trouble with my ticker but I am in the Motorcaravaners club but I need to be as near to the the exibition if possible. We have only ever been to one show and we could only see the side of the stage and we froze damp grass so we never bothered after that, but I would still like to meet some of the forum members and put faces to names . Terry Don I would love to have copy of the plan if you could send me one Please Thank You Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 We will probably go but we will not book because we won't go if it is very wet and muddy as there is little joy in that - especially with a dog! We have not been to the Peterborough show before but I do know, as with most outdoor shows (except Shepton Mallet which has lots of hard standing) how muddy it can quickly become. If we do go we will wait until the day before (Wednesday) before finally deciding as it is not that far to drive. It does mean paying a couple of quid more, camping in with the rabble rather than the clubs, and maybe a bit further to walk to the displays, but that has never been a problem at past shows.

trigrem Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi Mel B We are going on the Thursday, tried to book on the Camping Club area but could not find it on the drop down list. Don Yates has now explained why, so now have booked on MHF area. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have posted similar to this in the Show forum but as Mel B says not many seem to look there. However looking at the camping areas this year it looks as if the General Camping area has been quite badly 'squeezed' compared to earlier years making it further from the show and closer to the A1 so that is not so good either. Funny how members of other forums (?????) as well as clubs get prefferential treatment over MMM subscribers and users of O&A Live in this area i.e. I would have thought that there should be some benefit in being a loyal MMM subscriber and being sited close in to the show in preference to the 'others' (in particular the other forum) rather than on the outskirts!!! What do others think Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymer C 9. Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I agree entirely Basil, I often wonder why all the other clubs can have area's but MMM (Warners) readers and forum users get no such privilege and unless we make the efforts ourselves like we did at York have to go with one of the other clubs.

JohnsCrossMotorHomes Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hello all, We will be there on the Fiamma stand with a full range of Fiamma products and at the show we will be offering a FREE FITTING service on all Fiamma awnings. It might be best to give us a ring if you are interested to make sure we have enough awnings 'on board' otherwise the next FREE FITTINGS will be at Newbury or Shepton Mallet. Regards and Happy MotorHoming. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
