Caravan show a big hit at Carmarthen showground
“The reaction from visitors and exhibitors was excellent,” said organiser and promoter Lois Gibbon (pictured above), of Daffodil Events.
“Exhibitor numbers were higher than last year and there were more people staying over on the camp site than previous years.”
Next year’s event is already pencilled in the showground calendar for May 10-12 next year.
Lois said: “Obviously, we hope to be back an even bigger and better show in 2013.
“Feedback from visitors was good this year, with the youngsters enjoying the face painting and exploring the exhibits and many people enjoying the display of classic vehicles by the Towy Valley Vintage Club.
“One interesting development this year was the way that people used the park and ride facility from Nantyci to Carmarthen town centre.
“Campers on site took the opportunity of using the park and ride facility to explore and shop in Carmarthen. I am sure that Carmarthen town centre traders also felt the benefit of the show being staged at the showground.
“The Nantyci showground is a great facility with great road links and exhibitors were very impressed with the layout for what is one of the biggest events of the year at the venue.
“For caravan buyers, there was a big chance to beat the Government’s controversial decision to slap VAT on static caravans.
“One exhibitor reported selling a twin-axle caravan in the first hour. One trader I spoke to sold as many as eight vans. Another trader reporting selling a van to a gentleman from Yorkshire, so that proves that they come from far and wide to the show.”
Lois added: “I am hugely grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of the show and I hope we see everyone coming back for more in 2013!”
