67burwood Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 As W&P have stopped responding to any of my emails ( no surprise there ) I have now had to resort to contacting one of the new company directors Mrs Ann Bertrand via FB, Mrs Ann Bertrand responded within 10 minutes of me messaging her confirming that she had just spoken to the office ( at 21:30 this evening 🤔 ) and that apparently all of my questions via email had been answered and I still wasn’t getting a refund 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt richard Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Why would anyone support this show now .They refuse to give a refund ! All good will and trust is sadly lost. Who in their right mind is going to hand over money in advance for entry to a show that could get cancelled again for any reason ? Think how many other people have lost out -stall holders catering reenactors military vehicle owners etc presumably paying in advance. Contact trading standards might be helpful ! The organizers need you more than you need them. I will no longer support this show ever. Its a sad day really,because I have meet wonderful People from around the world there. One minute I was talking to a Vietnam helicopter veteran next a German fellow then a Dutchman😀 The past is the past ,time to move on new shows Suffolk military show ,victory ,40s week end sheringham old Buckingham etc 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgey 63 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Some people are obviously living in cloud cuckoo land, wonder what their attitude will be as soon as legal papers start arriving on their desk or will they even care ??? Here`s hoping that all the decent people who fronted their hard earned money get it all back, justice has to prevail on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve stated that I am unable to attend the new dates and I that was unable to attend the previous dates which under consumer rights I should be entitled to a refund BUT!! W&P are making the rules up as they go, I’ve requested a copy of their 2020 terms and conditions but they are unresponsive to this request 🤨 £200 on tickets lost !!

dgrev Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Yeah, exactly as I expected. Unfortunately. Unless you can go through small claims or consumer affairs, you may just have to write it off. Such a shame it has come to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt richard Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Hello is sad to hear people's experiences .my be could get a refund from credit card if payed that way section 75 charge back. It's sad when people get treated badly. This forum and hobby is ment to be fun and a happy occasion. I find the small shows best these days. I recommend the sheringham 40s weekend which is well supported by local business and Joe public also next to seaside which is a bonus !

TJSB Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 It's Capel for me. Went last year and friendly staff and good show. The REME museum Cent ARV on John's Contractor and REME Museum little trailer will definitely be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickyh Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Ref Capel They are filling up fast, but they will still be accepting day visitors (afaik). Check their Facebook site for more details. With any luck if we get good weather, there will be plenty of Heli's as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferretfixer Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 These people with thier disgusting & arrogant attitudes towards Exhibitors. NEED closing down for Good!!! They have MORE than proved how Nasty & unhelpful they are. We REALLY dont need these types involved in the Military Show Circuit! They NEED to be taught a lesson, that you cant go around behaving like this towards People who have paid up front & expect a better. & more professional service!! I think they have now clearly displayed thier Contempt towards Show Exhibitor's. & this needs to be STOPPED!!!! I believe it only costs £50 to lodge a claim in the Small Claims court. Even if you have only paid this amount originally. I would advise doing it anyway! These 'People(?)' NEED teaching a lesson!!! & it would send out a message to any in the Minority. Who think they could behave similarly in the future!! Although once a Brilliant show, after it's Demise there are plenty of other excellent shows to choose from. & they are growing with Popularity. & other shows will emerge also. This is too big a Movement to be allowed to Die! 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a company to court years ago and they changed the name by removing and changing the Ltd from the company registered name which cost me a extra bailiff fee, some of these rip off merchant's can be quite devious. I hope everyone gets their money back and move on the a new show creating another W&P size show that every one who contributes gets appreciated for their time and efforts. If these cowboys decided to resurrect the W&P show in the future tell then to stick it, as this will be a warning to others who may try and take the piss of all of us for mugs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Would be great to have a similar show in the UK. Or in Europe, say Belgium or south-west of the Netherlands so you can come over to our side of the channel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we would love to, especially if it catered for more modern (ie Cold War) vehicles. The shows in Europe tend (and I realise that's a generalisation) to focus on WW2 - I'm planning on going to the September Show at Panzermuseum East in Denmark, just to see what a show is like in Europe.

Christian F. Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Sad times for the show. I too think it is lost and never will be resurrected by those who put it in the grave. Word has got around in the MV circles here on the continent also. Talking of alternatives, there is a show - Military Days -here in Denmark in September. It is at the Panzermuseum East museum in Slagelse. The museum is a cold war museum with mainly eastern block exhibits. I will post more on the site here for shows, but until then, you can see more about the museum and show here: www.panzermuseumeast.dk and the show : MILITARY DAYS - PANZERMUSEUM EAST @ "snowdrop358" Looking forward to meeting you in SEP 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Denmark looks great. Buit september is busy in the Netherlands because of Market Garden. The same date (or a bit later) would be ideal becasue of the holidays. And I agree most shows are WW2 so a show for all military vehicles would be the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC312 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Went to the Capel show today, Great sho, lots to see, great setting catched up with old friends bit like a mini War and Peace show in its early days. Now the War and Peace is no longer, more will flock to this show with more vehicles re enactors and stalls, it gets bigger every year.
