[QUOTE="Graham L, post: 636505, member: 3481"] From a small traders perspective Volksworld just isnt good value and hard to recover your costs for the weekend, when we traded down in the Esher Hall for 3 years it was nearly £800 for a 4m x 2m stand, by the time you had got down there (often with 2 vehicles) and set up on the Friday (day lost in the unit) and then had a few beers and a meal with friends on the Saturday night you are into well over £1k and thats with 'Car Park Camping' not hotels. VoWo swapped the company that sell the trade spaces on their behalf this year (Kelsey do nothing themselves its all farmed out), from what I can gather they made no attempt to contact previous traders to see if they wanted a stand, hence the lack of traders. I thought it was interesting that Schofields chose a smaller outside 'cheaper' pitch and only chose to trade on the Saturday and mainly for pre ordered collections. Sunday is always dead and never a great day to visit [/QUOTE]
