Rally Chat Disappointing Warners Norwich show (1 Viewer)

[bryanuk]

Very disappointed with the Norwich show. The MH Fun pitch was not in a good location right next to the food court, lots of food smells and generator noise. The ground was recently mowed but the cut long grass left on the pitches, went everywhere in the motorhome (we were the only section on the whole of the site to suffer this, have Warners got something against MH Fun as the ground at Newbury wasn't very good either?). The facilities were pants, 3 showers for lots of people, 6 toilets that mostly didn't flush. Where were the banks of portable showers and toilets that are normally at these shows?

Still the entertainment was OK.

Look forward to a better Lincoln Show later in the year.

Have you complained to warners….

A couple of people said it was not the best position, but others said it was great. One Funster commented to me that they didn't book with us because they thought we'd be a long way from the show like we were last year, but he noted this year we were closer to the show than the disabled section he booked with.

This is the person to complain to sallyd@warnersgroup.co.uk

At Lincoln I did moan to Sally about how far we were away from the showground last year, and was assured we'd be closer this year.

I thought it was fine, close to the show and the food, which stopped serving at around 8.30 so not a problem. It was near enough for me to get to the loo and the shower with my mobility scooter. I’ll give you the grass was a bit of a mess, but considering the rain we had it was not a problem getting off. It didn’t cost much for 4 nights and we had some great neighbours to chat to, so what was the problem

This is a common problem at showgrounds and CLs. Lots of people hate those grass bits that get everywhere. . We do too, well, Siân does. Which is why we always carry a folding grass rake. The only issue you'll find with one of these is that every one of your neighbours will want to borrow it

I don't think we could have been further away from the entertainment and no easy access out of the pen! I have complained to Warners

I didn't go over there but if this map is right, we were one of the closer groups to the entertainment. Plenty were much further away than us.

Well we thought the MHF plot was spot on ok the cut grass is a problem if you don’t carry a folding grass rake, near the show near food next door to the entertainment Big Top and our van has a shower and a toilet so that works for us.
Any more than that you would have to look at a hotel

Agree with most of what’s been said. Doubt we will be returning any time soon.

That's why we have decided against any shows this year Ken gone down the slippery slope since covid in my view.

Presumably, near the food court also means near the beer tent? If so, struggling to understand the downside.

I didn’t go this time but looking at that map the funster area seems quite central to everything. One year we were up near the King George Gate (top of map) and last year we were to the left of it.

 

[Lenny HB]

I don't understand why people with Motorhomes complain about lack of toilets & showers, what's wrong with the one in your van? Far better than any Porterloo or mobile shower.

 

[Theonlysue]

Can't please all the people all the time

Well truth be told, it was the 5x5x5 a day Apple, Orange, Cucumber & mint which compelled me to consume so much, not to mention that red stuff Ribena

One person's meat is another one's poison...

"food smells"... burgers and onions = perfume from heaven.
