Evening all... Warren & Maddy just saying hello

We have only just joined the group and are looking forward to getting underway.

We used to do quite a bit of camping but once my partner Maddy fell pregnant we decided we needed to upgrade to a van. We bought a cheap van at the start of last year to see if we enjoyed caravanning and its safe to say after our first outing we were both hooked. With this new found love for caravanning we went to the caravan show at the NEC in November last year for "A LOOK"... after being there only a couple of hours we ended up walking away with the new Swift Eccles 530 We picked it up this weekend so were itching to get out in it now haha.

Anyway, like I said it was just a quick hello from us both, feel free to say hello back

Warren & Maddy.

Hi Warren and Mardy. A quick welcome from me. Great to hear from you and to read about your new van. You must be itching to get out in it. Do let us know how you get on.

Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Maddynip1 What have you bin an gon an dun ??

I have been warning peeps on here for absolute yonks, that if they really MUST go to N E C Shows, to leave cards, wallets etc etc locked away safely at home. Only ever carry a (small ) note pad, pencil & enough cash for a hot brew or three. That would have saved a great number of arguments when folks are back at home.

Brian is, of course, laffin' 'is socks off right now so --->

Welcome to the Club, have plenty of trips, tours, holidays in the Eccles but remember PLEASE to let us know what fun you have & where . Also, as DavidK said all questions are only silly if you know the answer, so trawl the different areas of "Discussions" for information and if you cannot find it or understand it ==> Just ask away !!

Hi everyone, Maddy here.

Thanks for the super welcoming responses!

Have managed to book some sites in the coming months. Bought tickets to go to Crufts at the NEC in March (Warren had no choice!!) so we're going to take the caravan to a site we have used before; Atherstone Stables in a village near the NEC. Really is a great site (hardstanding, electric hook up, safe, the guy who owns it is very very helpful). Knowing our track record of attending events at the NEC lets hope we don't return home with a pack of dogs...

Anyone have any recommendations for sites by all means let us know :)

Maddy x

Atherstone Stables is just down the road from us. We're from Polesworth. You will be (I guess) about a mile from Raymond James Caravans in Carlyon Road, but it might be worth a visit to Jackson's of Arley while you are here.... for all those caravanning accessories you never thought you needed.😀😀 Perhaps you will come away with a dog from the NEC after all!
