Re: Classic Caravan Gathering - Official World Record Attempt

The border has always traditionally been the Watford Gap services on the M1, which for those of you who aren't from that area, isn't anywhere near Watford in Hertfordshire. The Watford in question is a small village just East of the M1 between junctions 16 and 17. Why they didn't call it Daventry se...

Re: Tatton Park, Cheshire - 5th & 6th June 2010

Whilst I'd love to get right up to Merseyside or Yorkshire, I think they might be just that bit too far for me. But, I have said that I'd have a stand a bit further south at the Stapleford Miniature Railway, Stapleford Park, Melton Mowbray on August Bank Holiday weekend. This is the world record bre...

Re: Classic Caravan Gathering - Official World Record Attempt

Basically, the only caravans on our stand that might need to provide proof would be the last built Ansfold models. But as the last one I have on my database at the moment is dated June 1980, even that one scrapes in by a couple of months. As you know what I'm like at shows, I'll be collecting chassi...

Re: To garage or not to garage...?

Just thought I'd provide some caravan storage companies for anyone who might need them. These are in no way approved by portafold.co.uk. Please ensure that they have all the required insurance and security measures in place before you leave your caravan with them. Herefordshire: 01568 797281 Peterbo...

Re: Tatton Park, Cheshire - 5th & 6th June 2010

I'm really sorry about this but... Following up on my original enquiry about Tatton Park I phoned the office to request an entry form so I could finalise my entry for a club stand, only to be told: "We've got a waiting list of clubs that want to have stands, but we might be able to get you a stand w...

Re: INSURANCE AT LAST!!

Jan, Have you seen my page on insurance?... http://www.portafold.co.uk/insurance.html It's good to find another company that's prepared to insure a folding caravan though, and one that's over 20 years old. I could only find the ones I've put on the page above. I've got mine insured through the carav...

Tatton Park, Cheshire - 5th & 6th June 2010

To give it its full title, The 24th Annual Classic & Performance Car Spectacular & Autojumble, held at Tatton Park near Knutsford, Cheshire. ...N.B. I'm thinking about having a portafold.co.uk stand at Tatton Park next year (2010) as long as it doesn't clash with any other shows and if there's any i...

You only need to know the kerb weight of the car, and that should be in your handbook. But the Portafold will be fine behind it. If you can tow one with a Reliant Regal (as Paul~3 does) and a Citreon 2CV (as Stuart bubbles and Grumm do) you'll be fine. :wink:
