Courtesy of Steve G7VOH (one of my amateur radio colleagues – Kernow Photography) here is a set of photos taken around the Trade area of Jamboree 2012. Many thanks Steve, much appreciated.

Unfortunately I did not manage to get around the trade area personally but having seen the photographs I missed a treat as John managed to secure a really excellent mix of traders for us this year. Securing traders for the show is always a difficult task as we are so far from the major centres of population. This has been further exacerbated by the economic climate and general lack of disposable income within the populous.

If you agree John did a fabulous job enticing so many diverse traders this year add a comment below thanking him for his sterling efforts.

Such a shams the weather played such a major role this year leading to the majority of the stands remaining closed on Saturday. who can blame them though? with near monsoon conditions closing seems logical rather than ruining their stock! I hope the day visitors who came to see us on the Saturday appreciate the position and that they managed to find the entertainment which had moved into the marquee for some much needed shelter.

Thanks go to all the traders, Ty, Belfast Busker, Mr Wacky, Richard Ready & busy bodies who, as ever were so well received by all.

After a very wet and windy Friday & especially Saturday at least we awoke to some blue sky and sunshine on Sunday 26th August for the show and shine. The sun did not stay with us though and it became overcast but managed to stay dry for the last day of the show.

Entries were about 1/3 down on last year, probably due to the weather, but a good entry for all that. The VR6 Club were not with us in force this year, no trikes, no T25′s, Corrado’s and very few associated VW family makes.

Here is a set of photographs for you to enjoy.

As ever Alan engaged his audience at the Jamboree as can be seen here during his rendition of the Beatles Classic Yellow Suibmarineoops! Campervan !

Good to see Ty becoming an accepted regular feature of the Jamboree as he works so well with Alan the Belfast Busker.

Alan had finished his stint and can be seen dancing here with the crowd as Ty plays after the presentation of the Show & Shine awards in the Marquee.

Today looking good, high cloud but dry possible light showers.

Local forecast for the Weekend also looking pretty good, possible light showers Friday and Saturday but building high pressure and Sunday looking like a nice dry and sunny day.

Hope they don’t change their mind.

After the heavy rain over the past several months we can ignore the chance of light showers for sure.

Hope to see you in your droves from 1200hrs hours tomorrow! Yikes only one day to go

Site looking good, trade area marked out and ready to welcome the 56 traders booked in to attend (several have already turned up) in addition there are several auto jumble pitches booked. Today we made great progress on a rather nice sunny day with just one very light shower which lasted all of a minute or so.

Tomorrow we get to put up the signs, mark up the VW Club pitches and General Camping areas and Richard will start to prepare the show and shine field to accept what we are expecting to be a large entry this year.

Plenty of good food will be on hand for the weekend too of course, excellent traditional pasties from Andrew Rippon which are fresh baked on site, a hog roast provided by Roseworthy Farms using their own home grown pork, Freshly cooked baked potatoes, Elaine will be there with really good value burgers, bacon, sausage based grub, there will also be a salad bar, crepes for those seeking a lighter meal and much more!

Our local milkman, Paul, will be calling late on Friday and on Saturday and Sunday and John Dower, the Stithians based butcher will call selling fresh meat including his own recipe sausages and hoggs pudding which are well worth trying if you like good tasty meat products, John should be calling each day but timings can’t be given as it depends on when he returns home from his mobile butchery round in the area.

If you are still making your mind up, come on, make the right decision and head to the Jamboree @

Norman
Chairman CVWOC

The site owners have become very aware that the post code applying to bulk of the site including the main buildings and trade area has been causing problems with neighbouring properties which share the same code.To circumvent this problem the Stithians Show Committee applied for a post code change and this has now been authorised.

When dialling in a post code for your SatNav please use the following code which includes the main gate area of the site

TR3 7DP

Thank you for your kind Co-operation. When you think you have arrived and the entrance is narrow you have not! the entrance gate to the Showground is over 20ft wide and we have a very large banner on a gantry adjacent to it which is a further clue.

Richard is expecting the usual large entry for our show and shine again this year and, in preparation has decided the following.

Entries will be registered from 0830 on the Sunday morning and we therefore suggest that anyone camping on site make a special effort to get their vehicles up to the show field early to avoid the customary mayhem and large queue associated with the event.

Many entrants only turn up for the Sunday and the show and shine and your cooperation to register as early as possible if already on site would be much appreciated by the show organisers.

With 100+ entries expected again this year we are set, once again, to be one of the largest show and shines in the UK. Easily larger than that at BVF for example and offering a great choice of classes.

To score as highly as possible please be vigilant and enter the appropriate class for the vehicle. If modified, even slightly, marks will be lost if entry made in a standard class. Worth remembering.
