Having just returned from Kent county show, i feel that i have to get a moan off my chest!!
Would i be the only person to think that it is a complete shambles of show organisation, when the overnight horsebox park had no washing facilities there.
After having settled in the pony and cooked dinner etc, we all thought it would be a good idea to have a shower before getting ready for bed. So off we go looking for said shower block. Nothing to be seen anywhere....must be one somewhere....we'll ask !!
On asking the stable foreman where we would find the showers, he just looked blankly at us and said he wouldn't have a clue..honest if nothing else!
Crossing over the road to the main showground, we ask the people on the gate..again nobody knows, the best we could get was"if you go down here, i think it is a couple of fields away".
We asked the security guards..."i dont know where anything is " was the reply.
Having now been soaked by one of gods natural showers in a heavy thunder storm, we trapse around the showground to finallly come across a shower block!! yipee!!
This feeling didn't last long, when once inside we found it to be a communial shower fitted with a "keep fit shower" the one you have to run around in to get wet" this had two heat settings- freezing cold or scalding hot!
Would it be too much to ask for the simple things in life such as toilets and showers??
we all spend a lot of money to get to these shows and not everyone has huge fully equipped lorries.
Thanks for letting me do this, feel much better now.
I would be interested in knowing if i was alone in this thought
