Stratford 2014

[maz]

We have just found out that even though we booked online the booking didn't go through ---- if we rebook can somebody tell us please do they send tickets or an email that you print off in order to get in on arrival because today we leave home and do not return prior to the rally so wouldn't want to do this if the tickets will come here -- hope to hear from someone -- thanks

You can ask to collect the tickets at the gate when you arrive at the show - that's what I'm doing.

Wow, I see Motorhome Fun takes up a huge area compared to all the other clubs. We are a fair trek away from the water point so don't forget your aqua rolls if you have them.

 

[Teasy2007]

Hi Jim, I have found my name badge but the clasp is rusty, is it too late to ask for a replacement please???

looks more like we will need a taxi for the water

There is a drinking water tap in the hedge in the narrow bit of the 'Exhibition Area' - ie at the Fun end. Still a bit of a walk but not as bad as the map shows.

 

[Jim]

We have good news and bad.

The good news; for the first time ever we will have a water tap at our rally pitch rather than the bowser The bad news, the tap won't be put in place till after the racing on Tuesday,:Sad: so that will probably be Wednesday. So either arrive full of fresh water, or fill up on site before you get down to the rally area:thumb:

It's looking like a good one, the weather I booked is being delivered. We have over 60 Ralliers arriving on Monday, just one on Tuesday and 7 on Wednesday the rest arrive Thursday and Friday

We are looking for a few volunteer assistant marshals on Wed Thur and Fri, not all day, just a morning or an afternoon. if you could spare a few hours it would be great. Otherwise it's a long week for the marshals who don't get any time off.

Wed AM ?? Wed PM ??
Thu AM?? Thur PM ??
Fri AM ?? Fri PM ??

Meanwhile, here is a copy of the welcome letter you'll get when you arrive. See you there. Please don't arrive before 11am on Monday it's chaos otherwise very often we can't get across the track and onto our pitch until lunchtime. :thumb:

Assistant Marshall

I am happy to help out and do a session. Don't mind what day, AM or PM. We will be arriving Monday afternoon......Derek

 

[DP+JAY]

Will do a stint of marshalling, no problem, just let me know when.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Hi Jim
regret to advise that we will not be able to attend the Stratford rally, we were looking forward to meeting some funsters. The father-in-law wrestled with his green wheeley bin and bust his hipbone as a result.
he won't be on his feet for at least a week and the mother-in-law needs to be attended to, and ferried to the hospital for visits etc-both are in their 90,s.
I'll contact stone leisure in the morning to see if i can arrange a refund on return of the tickets etc.

hope the weather stays like current and everyone has a geat time

cheers
Jim and Lyn

 

[Brisey]

Hi Jim, sorry to hear that you will not be attending the Stratford Show. We wish your father in law a speedy recovery. Thank you for letting us know that you will not be attending,we look forward to meeting you at another rally sometime soon.
Brisey.

 

[lesleyjean]

Is there a shower block at Stratford?

We havn't done............"no electric hook up"........

before either, so it will be good to try it out whilst there are a hundred or so Funsters to help out

We have got 130 watt solar panel and 2 x 75 batteries, but just never tried it out in 6 years.

Our motorhome shower is a bit cramped

^{_{Subscribers  do not see these advertisements}}

 

[ukbill]

try showering 1 at a time then it wont be that crowded

 

[Brisey]

Stratford campers had access to a couple of shower blocks last year and hopefully will this year. There were only three showers in each block, so you may have to queue for them. If I recall correctly it was 50p in the slot for a 7 minute shower. The shower blocks were a few minutes walk away from the Funsters pitch.

Brisey

 

[ukbill]

50p a go so best a few of us get in there together and save cash but i aint picking up the soap

 

[lesleyjean]

Thanks for that Brisey.

Just have to get up early

 

[ukbill]

does anyone know how far from the fun area the ehu pitches are ?

Does this mean that we will see a long line of Funsters in their pink dressing gowns and bunny slippers queueing in the morning?

.........and the lady Funsters queueing as well, of course :Blush:

 

[ukbill]

i have garfield slippers not bunny

 

[DuxDeluxe]

i have garfield slippers not bunny

I've got a big pair of monkey slippers:thumb:

 

[tonka]

As the weather will be so nice, I am going to show off and use the outdoor shower that so many vans have fitted on the side and maybe never use. :thumb:

Now where's my "speedo's"
That should but a few off their beer....

 

[ukbill]

ok i will pack me mankini and also use your shower don't worry about the beers i will bring me own

I was going to press the "like" button but it seem's so wrong..




BUT hey, it is Motorhome. FUN.. !!!!!!

 

[DuxDeluxe]

ok i will pack me mankini and also use your shower don't worry about the beers i will bring me own

You wear a mankini at Stratford (in public with Funsters and not on top of other clothing) and there is a tenner going to a charity of your choice :thumb: any other takers? Ladies in bikinis don't count but welcome all the same.......:Blush:

 

[Lynn ( Mrs Ash )]

We will be there Wednesday probably about 6 , looking forward to a good catch up with everyone

 

[Rapido925M]

After waiting and waiting, I eventually got confirmation late this evening that my uncle's funeral will be on June 27th, so off I went to book for this, our first event. Imagine my disappointment to find "online booking closed" and it's only 23.40 on 13th June. Does this imply that they are working on GMT or that the site is full? :Sad:

Or did I misunderstand the concept of midnight? Was it just over 23.5 hours ago?

Perhaps I will still be allowed to turn up? - Gordon

Hi Gordon,

I'm not sure about the online booking deadline, however, the organisers of this particular show will allow you to turn up and pay on the day. You just have to tell them that you are camping with Motorhomefun, whereupon you will then be directed down to our huge camping area. :thumb:

Cheers for now,

Jock.
