Southern Motorhome Show Newbury 18 -22 May 17

Off with the Motorhome Funsters again to the Southern Motorhome Show at Newbury, which featured a 60s theme.  A fairly painless journey down, albeit we were a bit worried about the  amount of rain and whether or not we would sink once we arrived.  Our fears were unfounded and we were duly marshalled onto our space and we parked up and opened the beer. It rained. We wandered across to the entertainment and watched Cupid's inspiration, but the sound was a bit suspect being in a huge, cold, damp marquee, so we didn't stay to watch Edison Lighthouse, but went back to our nice warm van instead. 

On Friday we bimbled around the show, relaxed, went to the entertainment then went back to the funsters tent, where we were fed a mixture of dodgy Spanish spirits that somebody had rescued from that special cupboard at home where you store all those drinks that you thought tasted great when you were abroad. On Saturday, a bit the worse for wear, we headed into Newbury for lunch and then back to see the swinging blue jeans and Marmalade, both of whom were, basically, crap, but that may be due to the awful sound system.

Sunday was a better day weatherwise and we, once again, wandered around the show before watching the Ivy League (very good). At least the beer at Newbury was cheaper than the rip-off prices at Peterboring! Monday was an easy run home in the bright sunshine.

Not a bad show, but the toilets are a bit basic and it is a bloody long walk to the "blue lagoon" to empty the cassette.

Watching the park homes being taken apart. Not much to them!
