dusk2dawn Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 This years Game Fair is in the grounds of Blenheim Palace Oxford OX20 1PX weekend 25th/27th July. As we have a nice caravan I persuaded the Mrs that a weekend away would be nice, we could visit Oxford etc. Imagine my horror when not only the Caravan Club but every site within 15 miles is already booked and its only January. I eventually found a tiny site that takes 5 vans just 3 miles away from the Game Fair so Im sorted. If you are intending to go and havnt booked accom then look sharp, or you will be under canvas Might see some of you there D2D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusk2dawn Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Unfortunately the tickets and booking forms for the show will not be available until April from the organisers of this years fair regarding caravan parking and tickets so who ever told you they where booked up is talking through their ***** mate I personally, like many others it seems, dont want to park on the caravan site at the Game Fair, purely so that I can avoid the traffic queues, so tried to get on a site as near to Blenhiem as poss,I called the caravan club site in the grounds, being a member, and they said they had been booked up for months and warned me that I would have difficulty in the area and they were right as I called 8 sites within a 19 mile radius all were full and had been for some time due to the Game Fair being held in the area. At no time did I say that the facilities at the CLA site was full MATE!! D2D Edited January 21, 2008 by dusk2dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy75 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Looking forward to this one - missed nearly every game fair in the area for 2 years now, so desperate to get to a good 'un! Need to start saving the pounds now tho! Edited January 21, 2008 by Andy75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
