    Hope to see some of you there.  I'm there every day. Call round at the C&CC stand and say hello!

    We will be there on the Thursday or Friday to get the cheap entry and it is easier to look round without the school children there.

    We did look for you last year but could not recognise you on the C&CC stand.

    Just ask for Meg.  Going for lunch with friends on Thursday sometime between 12 and 2, but will normally be around the stand.  I did wonder about suggesting that CT people meet at the CC  stand but not enough have said they will be around on any one day.

    I called up and booked our tickets this morning and they are emailing them out to us so that will save us having to wait in the que to get in.

    The plan is Friday using the C&CC offer. It could change though.

    Well we went today having not been for a couple of years. Didn't look at caravans as we are motorhomers, there seemed to be more of those this year and nice to see some foreign vans. If we do decide to change our van we think we have seen its replacementWink

    Only spent £10 (entry tickets free) £8 of that was for the parking Ouch! last time we went it was £4. If the SECC continue to keep charging these rip off prices we won't be back to the Glasgow show.

    We are going at the weekend this will be the first time we have visited the show for 3 years. We won't be looking at caravans either as we are motorhomers so glad to hear that there is a good selection of motorhomes on display as we might be looking to change
    our van in the next year or two. £8 for parking is a rip off  can't beleive they get away with that.

    Parking is a rip off at the SECC but there is a station if the train is a viable alternative. Use your over sixties pass and it is £1.30 return for many.

    Thanks WW, it would have been nice to have had some prior warning to the cost of parking, before being stuck in a queue with nowhere to go other than the parking area. Total disgrace as I said members day, but no prior warning or advice from the Clubs. We
    could/would have used the train if we had known it was going to cost £8, it states for 12 hours parking, who goes for 12 hours, its not calculated by the hour, so even if you only stay 2 hours its still £8.

    Use the free parking on the other side of the river.  The "Village Hotel" parking is free and not monitored.  The Premier Inn is in the same area. Its a short walk over the pedestrian bridge to the SECC area. Meg

    We are going on Sunday as its the only day we can make it. So expecting plenty of motorhomes to catch the eye but not the wallet.

    Nice to know that Meg, bit late now as we went yesterday. We did stop by a couple of times to say hello, but you were very busy so we left you to itWink

    For anyone going and want to see the Adria motorhomes they are not in the main hall but further along the on the opposite side. There is also some very nice patio/garden furniture along there aswell.
