I'll be there, ran out of Campervan Cookout bottle openers long ago, but if anyone wants a sticker, badge or window film sticker come find me on the day and I should have a few on me.

Might bring the new one up, 112 miles on it since the 1st of March been in the garage since bringing it home from Liverpool . Still has all the wrappings on seats, carpets and cardboard on the floor, I did not let them clean or wash it. I've just had no time to get it ready.

We came to the shop event yesterday, certainly a lot of Cali's.

We bought a couple of things and enjoyed the free bacon cobs.

But felt that there was something missing overall - It would have been nice to chat with more people and look around the various vans to get some ideas, but there did not seem to be much atmosphere for this, and we left after 1 hour. Then on to Matlock for the remainder of the day.

Just an idea for another time....how about a Show'n'Shine type of light competition? with a small prize from the shop. We attend a few shows during the year and this type of thing does encourage people to stay and encourage interaction.

good idea. but wouldn't leave my van unlocked in Bolsover for an hour while I walked round the shop. but I noticed many with vans open sharing tips. also we were camping so nothing to see in mine apart from lots of empties rolling around and the wangers hanging on the back seat. the new towel rail has to be worth a mention though !!!!

Bought some mats, ladder, collapsible bucket and inverter plug. Campsite was very nice and weather was great. Nice to meet and chat with Cali Kev and free bacon cob was very good.

We got side tracked walking around Rutland water in the sunshine, with spring bird song, watching butterflies. We even saw the Ospreys.
We finally made it to Bolsover having seen a Cali on every roundabout near to the shop and 10 still in the car park.
Himself missed his bacon butty as we were so late but I bought a Thule sun screen for the awning!
Lovely to see a few Cali's in the car park and see some different storage solutions.
Thanks for organising it.

A great day and spend a small fortune. Chatted to other members, swopped stories and information. Great welcome from the shop.

Thanks for organising the event and for the bacon buttie. Now I know the shop location and opening times, in the words of Arnie ‘I’ll be back’.
