No need to worry about the shop stock. We've got it in hand. It will arrive at Stafford on Friday.

Do we have an idea of how much space it's going to take? Will I need the trailer to bring it back or is it going to fit inside my camper?

It all fitted in the back of an estate car with the seats down last time I saw it...

Also need some more stock ordering there's not much there.

This week saw the trailer get a brand new cross member for the suspension as the old one had collapsed (£320!!!)
I spent today throwing out all the out of date food from the trailer, repairing the jockey wheel, re-sealing the base and sorting stuff out. We have about 150Kg of tinned food and about 20 bottles of red wine. We will eat like Kings!!
The new plan will be never to cart food around, we buy what we need and chuck what we dont eat, we will be more frugal in future!

We have bought a new (used) marquee and may decide to sell off the army one. We love the army GP tent but we were very fortunate that Gary999 used to take it home to the local army cadets who would dry it out and re-pack it. They closed down, donated the tent to us, but now, if it gets wet, how do we dry it. SO, with all your donations over the years, we bought a modern 24x24' (6mx6m) heavy duty bad boy. Now, we can have an open plan demonstration area in the dining room next to the kitchen

To all those going to Stafford, I hope you all have a great time.

This will be the second year in a row I've missed it and am highly jealous.

Hopefully the stars will align for next year.

Take care.
