Rally Chat Alleged thefts at the Malvern Show (6 Viewers)

[L' Hobo]

It is common, we have had issues at a number of shows, Malvern does seem to attract more though, and yes they were there this year.

Well, I can only report what I find.

Perhaps there is some benefit in me being big and ugly because, personally, I have NEVER had any problems.
I wonder why you have had 'a number' ?

I suspect exhibitors may see and hear different things to campers. I also suspect there is a little extra security when camping with a club. The marshals sometimes spot things of concern and let security know, plus Fun's way of introducing yourself your neighbours (hopefully everyone does that?) means that other Funsters may well make make it difficult for those with ulterior motives.

If people don't follow the suggestion to introduce yourself to your neighbours as in the rally newsletter Jim prepares with such care for the rallies he and Sian attend, then you are depleting the natural security that comes with knowing who those parked around you are. I suspect that more difficult in teh exhibition area though.

Thanks, now I understand. I helped a trader friend of mine for about 10yrs attending Steam Fairs all over the South of England.
The worst one was the Dorset Steam Fair
