Arrrrrr. But will you be able to see it?

They won't be there. Not 100% sure but I think they couldn't get the canvas lost in the fire done and had to push back the customer day a week as well. I wish they were so others could have a look.... they said they were out of pocket a fair whack for not going... so yes for the time being it is still a Mirage ;-)

That is most unfortunate for these guys.
Hopefully they recover from the set backs.

There is going to be some very wet canvas after all this rain. We are not far away and it has been smashing down for a good few hours with more to come. Some wellies will come in handy as those fields don't drain very well at all.

Snorkels & Goggles will be issued upon arrival.

What a bugger for all those concerned, the last one we went to was wet, wet, wet.

DaveR · « **Reply #38 on:** March 28, 2014, 07:17:30 AM »

Oh dear.
I am sure this show started of in the underground car park at Pac Fair for a reason.

Jeezzzz

I heard on the radio that is was closed today with the view to try again on Saturday. Didn't think it would be anything like that

RedDmaxxx · « **Reply #40 on:** March 28, 2014, 08:55:42 AM »

I feel for the poor buggers....even if it fines up...it will still be a mud bath.

KingBilly · « **Reply #41 on:** March 28, 2014, 08:57:44 AM »

Not good for the suppliers and manufacturers. Bet there will be a no refund clause in their site fee rental agreement somewhere. Also insurance would be almost non existent for flooding in this situation. Hope all of them come out of this OK as it could be a very expensive weekend for some.

I think I just heard it was free entry this weekend. May of been hearing things though. Just got the end of an ad on hot tomato

mrsfirefox · « **Reply #47 on:** March 28, 2014, 03:36:08 PM »

Ok guys, we need to support the exhibitors (including our very own myswaggers).

The show will finally open tomorrow on Saturday and Sunday. Entry is now FREE for everyone.

Yes, some exhibitors have left but the ones that are left really need your support. Entry fees for exhibitors started from around $3K and a number have lost some stock. The exhibitors aren't receiving refunds for their entry fees if they don't go ahead in the next two days. The A-Van team have lost over $1 million dollars worth of stock alone.

So bring your wellies and your dollars. There is going to be some really good specials.

Hours are Saturday 9am to 5pm and Sunday 9am to 4pm. See you there!!

martyst · « **Reply #48 on:** March 28, 2014, 03:55:15 PM »

Will be there Saturday for sure.
