Yep, I went a left some $$ with ol'  mate from Korr Lighting...... in exchange for a 4 Bar Camp Lighting Kit, and the remote kit, extra velcros ties and 2 x 25cm light bars..... all for a tidy sum too......... plugged them all in in the garage on Saturday night, and yep, they sure are bright buggers..... glad I have the dimmers!

We went along on Sunday morning - have to say, it was the best year yet I thought. Lots of people, lots of exhibitors, and each stand had lots of stock. The camper trailers were impressive - previous years saw most people having one, maybe two campers on their site - this year it seemed everyone had at least 3 different models. Very, very impressive.

I finally succumbed to the ARB stand, and bought the little girl a plush Fourby.

Most importantly though - a huge thanks to the random guy-with-a-fedora who overheard us lamenting our lack of sunscreen for bubba, and straight-up offered some of theirs. He didn't know us from a bar of soap, but it really made our day. Instead of having to leave early we got to wander around, and the little girl didn't get sunburnt. So - whoever you are - thanks very much. If you're a swagger, hit me up and I'll buy the drinks at next year's show :).

Cheers,
Matto :)

We also went along Sunday morning and were amazed at all the great camper displays and caravans, even tho we are not caravan fans.  Some of them are so space age looking.  We did purchase a Thermos Shuttle Chef, the people behind the stand demonstrating this cookware seemed genuine, but the people behind the other two stands of similar cookware left a lot to be desired.  All in all it was a super show this year, and well done to the organisers.
