The Bushcraft Show 2012

[Simon]

Hi Martin and Sapper

There were many visitors last year who felt it a shame that they had to leave their dog at home... however, whilst dogs are allowed this year, they must be kept on a lead in the show ground and camping areas at all times, any fouling must be cleared up immediately and any dogs causing a disturbance will, by request be removed from the public areas.

The venue boasts around 200 acres of parkland, so there is plenty of space for dog owners to let them off for a run and play, away from the showground.

Rest assured that the attendance of dogs will in no way hinder the visitor experience for anyone!

All the best, Happy Bushcrafting...

Hi Ben,

We will as always endeavour to provide the highest standard of facilities for all, last year there were disabled ramps, there was a dedicated disabled toilet and shower in the main 'Base Camp' building, which was always in service and there was access to other disabled toilets and showers if required.

We were complimented on the standard of the facilities and received comments that they were of a much higher standard to many other bushcraft/ country events. We will not be using the same management company this year and all aspects of the running of the show will be managed by our own team, if you have any specific requests on the disabled front, please PM me and we will take a look at how we can accommodate them.

I look forward to seeing you at the show this year if you come along, we have some great additions planned which we will be revealing over the coming months, take a look at: https://www.facebook.com/TheBushcraftShow

To be fair to Ben, he did try to explain some of the short comings last year and seems that he was given short shrift, although I'm aware that this wasn't eveyone's experience. Check out his experiences here http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/fo...h-of-June-2011

As far as the dog thing goes, I'm afraid that some dog owners don't understand the 'must be on a lead' thing and still let their animals run wild. I've seen it on far too many occasions. I'm sure the dog lovers will love it though. Have a good show.

Hi Simon
It is nice to finally get a reply as I never got one last year when I complained about unhelpfull staff who basically had no interest in me asking a question or the toilets not working and locked not far from where I was I will admit that the next day you supplied chemical tolilets so some one must have listened some where
I finally did find the showers and stuff after talking to one guy who was helping on the gate He was very friendly and if it had not been for him I would have left on the first day But then again I put it all in an email to your orga but no one had the decency to reply The nearest toilet to where I was was about a quarter of a mile away and as stated not working I did try to explain to people on the gate/tent that I may look normal but it is my legs and that where they had told me to pitch was fine I just needed to park my car close by while I dropped my kit of If I had not ignored them like many others did I would not have made it from the car park

I will be attending this year and if you search the threads on here I did do a report on what had happend I do not normally moan about events but I had been to the Cornwall RV shortly before your event and I'm sorry to say they beat you hands down in all aspects of the event/friendliness and everything.

It was the people attending the event and for me one person who I talked to who made the event more enjoyable If it had been for the other staff well like I say I would have gone to the other end of the lake and staye dwith some friends there

I wont PM you as this is an open forum so if you like feel free to post my email I sent if not I think I still have it and I can post it for you it would be nice to get a reply.

Thankyou

Ben Casey

To Ash and the Mods sorry if I have over stepped the mark delete the message and drop me a P.M. and I will send it all in a P.M. to Simon

Hi Martin I dont get what you mean I had a look throught the thread but could not find a reply from Simon But if he was apart of the Orga he should have or someone there will have recieved my email as I did not get any reports saying it had not been delivered Normal ways are to respond to email complaints like I said only one person from the Orga was helpful and it was that person that gave me the feed back that the whole system should have

Ben, if you look at the post above yours, you'll find that I linked to your post earlier in the year.

Please re-read what I wrote Ben. I said, 'To be fair to Ben....' I realise that you never received a reply back then.
