2021 Cumbria auto show date 4th July

Up for any, just want to meet and learn the secrets of ownership while casting eye over things I'd like.
Is it normally lads and vans, is it lads, ladies and vans, ladies and vans. Probably not a PC question but you know what I mean. Never read the Elgrand meet etiquette ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‡
We generally get a really good mix of people at these shows. Some blokes on their own, some with wives/girlfriends, some as full families, ladies on their own, ladies with their husbands/boyfriends. We're a friendly bunch and try to make all new attendees feel welcome ๐Ÿ‘
 
Please excuse my naivety but what is a "show"?? Just a gathering of Elgrands ?? Or is it more like the Appleby horse fair that owners then piggy back??

It's kind of like a one day festival of car lovers. You get loads of car groups travelling in convoy and merge on one destination to show of your cars.
From our point we all meet up in one destination then travel to the show in convoy.... Spend an eternity in a queue.... Spend another eternity arranging our car and giving them a clean... This is then followed by loads of laughs making new friends and meeting old ones, admiring each others cars looking at the other cars on show.
Normally a big area to explore with stalls and food etc.
It's a good laugh especially if the weather is good. ๐Ÿ™Œ
 
This one is a mixed mark car show so you get anything there really. Usually lots of fords and subarus... But they are a great day out to meet up have a chat and a laugh, and have a look at the other ellies. (Think we had about 20 in 2019) + have a look around at anything that takes your fancy on the day. They have a show and shine section, competitions, trade stands and raffles etc. There's usually something for kids to do as well, like bouncy castles and trampolines.
Heres a short video from 2019 can be found on the auto-show.co.uk website

Count me (and Mrs even though it'll be a surprise to her) in, after all this is one reason why we bought an Elgrand and converted it for camping.
Look forward to it, camping, the show, meeting you lot, whats not to like.๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿงณโ˜€๏ธโ˜”๐Ÿบ๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿš๐Ÿš๐Ÿš
 
We will be there as usual. May camp but don't know yet. Maybe a travel lodge.
