Welsh Caravan, Motorhome and Outdoor Leisure Show 2011.

If you plan to go and see this show! save your money and time and give it a miss as it was the biggest load of rubbish I have ever had the misfortune to waste good cash on.


They advertised this as:-
The seventeenth annual Welsh Caravan, Motorhome and Outdoor Leisure Show. This years event will be held at Cardiff International Arena on January 14 2011. With the massive redevelopment in Cardiff now complete, the Cardiff International Arena is the perfect venue to host this great event in what is now a leading city of Europe. With now ample parking within 5 minutes of the Arena and mass amenities, shops and restaurants in the surrounding area this years show is more than just an event it is a weekend away.

With all the leading caravan and motorhome manufacturers under one roof and a host of outdoor leisure stands and accessories this show will not be effected by weather and will give you a perfect start to the new touring year.



End Quote:.........

Apart from the usual few Caravan and Motor home dealers (that you could visit free within a few miles of your home.) There were no Outdoor leisure stands and the host of accessories stands numbered just two.
The rest were adjustomatic bed sales stands that were intended more for the home use than caravans Oh and a man demonstrating dry cleaning fluid.

I was gob smacked at the gall of these organisers, they were taking money under false pretence. We spent less than thirty minutes at the show, well that was how long it took us to walk around all the stands and have a good chin-wag with the man from Blazers caravans and the tow car chap.
We went out into the foyer, wrote out a complaint form informing them of our disgust (No refund was offered) and surprise, surprise we were the forth couple to do just that and the show hadn't even been open for thirty minutes.

If you plan to go to a caravan and motor home show give this one a miss!!!!!!
