It is with huge disappointment that we have to announce the cancellation of the 17th Motorhome Show at the Shepton Mallet showground (11th-13th January 2013).
Dealers are reluctant at this time to commit themselves to additional expenditure, when they themselves are not sure of the immediate future of new motorhome sales. Memories of the past three harsh winters have also left their mark.
Stone Leisure have always worked with the trade and neither of us would want to proceed with an event that might give the public the wrong impression. We are now focusing our energies into the successful bigger April show, which will take place from the 12th-14th April at The Bath & West Showground.
We want to extend our thanks to everyone who has helped make the Show a success for the past 16 years and we look forward to seeing the January show return when conditions improve.
All pre-booked overnight rallyers are being notified and will be refunded or they can carry the booking over to the April Show if they wish.
Our apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

Best regards,

Brenda Griffiths - Show Organisers' Office

How sad it shows the extent of the economic times we are in. I was at this show some years ago and it was excellent. Hopefully it will only be a short lived thing.
