Hi All, is there going to be a Mud-Club stand at the LOR show this weekend.

Strictly speaking no....

however Paul will (by the sounds of it) be occupying most of the campsite, and our fantastic comrades at Muddyweb will have a trade stand, I'm sure Tim will be more than grateful for the odd visitor...  especially if they have beer or money... (or both)

Anyone know if the tow vehicle is allowed next to the caravan. It says accompanying cars in the car park. I hope it doesn't mean the towcar.

Thanks Peter,
We've not camped before and couldn't remember if the cars were there or not. Can you take your car off the caravan site during the day or do you have to go in and out before the show starts. My wife wants to visit relatives who live nearby on Saturday.
Ed
Ps Our group are around 502.

you can move around and off the caravna site to your hearts content but the gestapo (at lest they seem like they are) will not let you move around the show To be honest this is probably the best layout for camping you will get at a show you get loads of space and your own pitch no crowding or anything

Thanks again Peter.
Looking forward to it.

Towing vehicle is fine with the caravan, any extra cars are to be
parked in the carpark. :wink:

Thats what I thought too - was there on Sunday, couldnt see any !!!!

Was it just me or was nothing really cheap ? I thought the idea of sales fairs like these was to be able to bag a bargain :?

A lot of what I saw was the same price as normal or more expensive :shock:

I was there on Sunday, with Mud Club shirt on, and didn't see any others.  Had a good look round tho' and picked up a couple of bits.

Paul had gone about an hour earlier but we were going to stop on to watch the Camel Trophy display as we missed it on Saturday but then we decided to get off early.

We saw the usual suspects from Mudclub but other than that the only person we saw was Tony W.

Yeah behind the bobtails 2nd caravan in from the show end, i should have parked the other way round the 90 dont look like the avitar from the back.
If i had read this tread more before we came instead of when we got back i would have tracked down your pitch number  :oops:

Post by: Moose on September 14, 2004, 21:09:26
There was a little more Mud club presents than you think,

At least three Disco''s on the DOC stand had mud club stickers on, and I spent all Saturday running the DOC stand with my Mud Club T shirt on  :lol:
Title: MUD-Club at LRO
Post by: Paul on September 14, 2004, 21:15:44
Didn't see your Mud Club shirt nore and MC stickers on the DOC stand. :?

Mind you the nipper was pulling me along to go and see the Camel stand
for the 3rd or 4th time.. :roll:

I did have a look round and a read the Posh Ted poster on the stand. :)
Title: MUD-Club at LRO
Post by: Dangermouse on September 14, 2004, 21:40:15
Yeah blue disco just like the one in the avitar :D
I put the flyers in the caravan windows to save getting a 3rd  :lol:
Top mark's for the effort you made for the Mud-Club i put both in the windows to show support, i only have a small Mud-club sticker on the passenger side door, as all door,s are due for replacement & or repainting, then a big Mud-Club splat will be attatched.

Cheers Ed, Daughter became ill while we were away, we put it down to the hot spell we were having, the walking and being cramped in the 90. When we returned she still wasn't a 100% so we took her to the doctors to get checked out, she was then refered to the hospital, where they did checks and found she has a reptured membrane (thinks thats how you spell it) there worried about infection which could cause problems to Vic and the baby, so at worst I could be a Granddad by the end of the week :) 8 weeks early!  Because of this I have'd cancelled the Belgium trip.
Title: MUD-Club at LRO
Post by: Wanderer on September 15, 2004, 09:48:00
Sorry to hear that Phil.
We/I have 5 children and 4 of them were premature between 6 and 8 weeks early. It's not such a problem with the advances in neo natal care.
In fact our twins came out of hospital on Christmas Eve. What a Christmas present that was. It still brings a tear to my eyes.

I thought you could slow down on the worrying but my eldest then went on to have two children that were born early.
Needless to say all of the above were fine except for my son who must have had a humour transplant when he got to 14.

OOhhh that is so unfair.......!

Other than that I hope you had a good time down there.

Ed
Title: MUD-Club at LRO
Post by: turtle on September 15, 2004, 09:59:52
Thanks Ed, I know she's in the best place, as you say the natal care is very good nowadays.

Holiday was great, weather couldn't be better for September, hoilday camp wasn't the best I been to but was ok (had to make a couple of complaints about the amount of rubbish around the caravans) expect for the bar which they closed at 10  :cry: , and I did complain about that, they kept it open until 11 the next few nights :D  which was a bit better. Hastings is a lovely town, with some great views if you go up the lift cars, the old town has some great shops. Spent a lot of time on Bexhill beach which is very clean and tidy. Saw lots of landrovers about and alot of american trucks, still sorting out the photos will add to the gallery when I get a chance.

All in a all a good week away, no computers no mobile phones and best of all no work and no customers :D
