Shepton Mallet.

What a welcoming weekend. At last… did summer really arrive? Or at least it did at Shepton Mallet!

Most of the exhibitors started to arrive mid-week to rain and were dreading another wash out of a show.

We arrived late Thursday afternoon to rain and mud, wondering once again if by Sunday we would all have to be towed off the fields we were staying on. But what happened next. Did we really see the sun coming though our Heki on Friday morning? YES…at last it had arrived and it stayed all weekend.

What a relief to all the hard working exhibitors who have to put in weekends out in all weathers to make a crust.

Our neighbours always think Anne and Nigel are going away again on their Jollies!!! Luck things….little do they know.

They don’t have a clue what could be happening on the World of Motorhomes stand all dressed in yellow and blue. There’s me standing for hours on end giving out leaflets while Nigel and Chris are out finding new business for our Fantastic website.

We would like to thank Bob and Graham Griffiths and their team for all the hard work put in to ensure that their shows are successful in helping the motorhome and caravan world work for all of us. Whatever the weather brings, we are all there making the most of it.

Stone Leisure Ltd was established in 1965 and currently concentrates on outdoor leisure niche-market publications and shows.

It’s Pickering this weekend so, hopefully, we will see you all there…Rain or shine!

28-31st August 2008 National Feast of Lanterns

The National Feast of Lanterns, NFOL, is our annual celebration of camping when thousands of units come together with each of the 13 regions taking it in turn to host the event.

This year it is the turn of Yorkshire Region who have chosen the theme of “Christmas”.

The highlights of the weekend include the Mardi Gras procession on Saturday afternoon and the Lighting up of units on Saturday evening. There is entertainment every evening, competitions, trade stalls, something for everyone.

If you haven’t been to an NFOL before then make sure you don’t miss this one as it could be a good few years before it comes to the Yorkshire Region again…
It is an event not to be missed !!!
