So disappointed to hear that. We are enjoying ourselves and appreciate all the hard work that goes into setting it up, and the marshalling done by you. Some don’t like the long grass but it doesn’t bother me. In fact, it is better than getting the van filled with grass cuttings.
Just tell them where they can go next year & see how they like it in general camping.
OkWe were in the hanger. No dancing, just drinking and chatting
Too busy dancing.Ok

At the current rate there is a strong probability that would be the only option for all funsters
I know the RVOC guys are more than miffed, and as fun books as a discount through them we have lost any remaining goodwill.
At the current rate there is a strong probability that would be the only option for all funsters
The level of grief and complaints I have taken this weekend is unacceptable. Too many have booked, don't check the forums and have blindly got a ticket without checking what they actually paid for. The expectation of electric, just because it has always been there for this show (yet not on most funster rally fields), but was not to be there this year (keeping costs down) has caused too much hassle. Add that stewards are having to turn off generators, despite that everyone agreed to terms they could not be used as we are on the showground, and that some want to drive during show hours, and it's too much.
A few really risk it all for the many who do see the benefits of this field and concession to motorhome fun. The problem is they don't regularly visit the fun forums so will remain unaware.
Regular funsters know that marshalls and rally organisers are volunteers. At best we might get a free pitch which hardly recompenses or the overall time involved. The RVOC guys have been setting up since Sunday. It's simply not worth it.

I know the truth you spotted I would be here.I looked at this thread the other day thinking I could have gone to this rally but then I saw the list of attendees on post #110 and realised I only know around 5-6 of the funsters and not really heard of any of the others, I suppose you only get out what yoy put in…
Funny you should say that . Most rallies with Fun I know a good few people but Retro seems to have so many people I’ve never heard of within the fun area .I looked at this thread the other day thinking I could have gone to this rally but then I saw the list of attendees on post #110 and realised I only know around 5-6 of the funsters and not really heard of any of the others, I suppose you only get out what you put in…

Frankly anyone who behaves like that to a rally Marshall should be banned from all Fun rallies & possibly Fun it's self.
Yep, it would be much nicer if there was just 20 or 30 genuine Funsters without the 30 tagging on for a cheap deal & causing agro.
Is that from the fairground ? Last year it was £3.50 per person per ride . So a go on the waltzers with me and the 3 kids was £14 a time !

Only 3 quid this year, you was done.Is that from the fairground ? Last year it was £3.50 per person per ride . So a go on the waltzers with me and the 3 kids was £14 a time !
With a rally like this, does it really matter? It is the stands, exhibits music etc. which is the rally. Even if I knew everybody my time would be spent at the show. It is an expensive rally to spend the time sitting around the van Rather than experiencing the show.
For the second year running. Totally unacceptable.
I don't have anything with me, as I was last minute cover. Stickers and stuff are usually available at the Tea tent at Warners shows like Malvern and Lincoln.

All too often in this hobby the few ruin it for the majority. Really hope this regretful situation isn't going to be another.The conditions of entry were very clear.At the current rate there is a strong probability that would be the only option for all funsters

So sorry to hear this Rob .I am guessing some Funsters have turned up and expected EHU be available and probably didn’t have enough gas for the fridge etc or enough battery capacity to last 3 days. It’s really important to read terms and conditions to these type of events . It’s not like any other fun rally because of the location within the showground . It does sound like the lack of EHU is the main issue but it was made very clear it wasn’t available this year . Even within this thread it is mentioned a few times .
See the screen shots attached .
It also seems MHF may already have been on a last warning at this event after the behaviour of some of our members

I don’t understand your point. Rob had many people asking him why there wasn’t any EHU this year when they arrived at the festival. I have highlighted this by posting the comments that confirmed on multiple occasions that EHU would not be available. adi4 also made it quite clear that MHF wouldn’t be welcomed back again if the members can’t be polite and sensible. It appears that yet again some people need to learn how to be nice !The posts above unfortunately don’t tell the complete story.
This is the problem when posts are cherry picked it’s doesn’t give a balanced view
I posted that because it highlighted that fact that we were possibly on a last warning for the behaviour of some MHF members last year . I am not suggesting for one minute that you were one of the three people that abused a female marshal and I apologise if that’s how it came across.
