Could do! I went last year with Anne and Carol. We stayed at Shustoke. Could be a mini meet or mini convoy opportunity if people want to spend another day away that weekend.
We may even be able to get some free tickets for the forum to give away in a competition... we can only ask!

Sounds good, although I've not been to the NEC for a while and from memory I seem to end up wondering around in circles! Where is Weatherspoons, I don't think I've ever stumbled across it.

It's outside the main halls which are usually in a big U shape. Weatherspoons is in the middle of the U on the concourse outside the halls if they set it up the same way as last year.

Yes I think it was. And at Crufts too, though maybe you weren't there at Crufts due to back.

I will go Friday night. But thinking of doing show on Sunday as Sat is jam packed; you can't get in the vans and tug at all the knobs We could do walk on one day or see the sights or maybe just sit in the bar for sometime, there is a pub right on the doorstep at Shustoke. |

We're going to the show on Thursday, staying over at Shustoke on Wednesday night. Have to be back up to Cumbria for Friday night, unfortunately. (well, not that unfortunate! We've had an invite to a Full Moon Club session at Shap ) Looks like we'll be on our lonesome ownsomes Life: unfinished threads in a never-ending tapestry |

I'll be there Sunday. Let me know what time at Weatherspoons for a coffee! How about 11.30 to 12.00? I know it seems a bit early, but at lunchtime, the hordes descend and there can be huge queues just for a drink. After a week at Europe's busiest airports, I've had my fill of queues  |

I will be there Sunday - is Weatherspoons at the NEC or at Shustock? Would be good to catch up with some of you.
I'm driving up for the day with a friend as Andy is on a lads weekend in the van.

I will be at shustoke Thursday for Friday at NEC
Been looking at google maps for the parking area, can anyone advise where , is it at the end of Bixhill lane (east side) or the area west side which looks like a boat yard? And is there height restriction to enter this area, looks like a gate on google.
Many thanks

It's not in Bixhill Lane, Goldfish, look for Reservoir Drive off Coleshill Road as per: goo.gl/maps/SgLMzThere is an open gate but no barrier AFAIK. Millie, Weatherspoons is at the NEC although there is a pub at Shustoke, the Plough very close: goo.gl/maps/ir9VZEdit: Added pub and gate |

Hi we nearly always freecamp - old age pension gives loads of leisure time but too little money to pay camp site fees. 
The van has solar panel, large water tank So we are pretty self sufficient. Jon
