The Slightly Delayed Big 60th+1 Birthday Party of the Portafold (12th International Portafold & Ansfold Gathering) (i.e. 2021)
Help us set a new world record at the huge 60th+1 birthday party!
Ironically, the current record is 59 Portafolds and Ansfolds (we set that at the 2016 Newbury Retrofestival), so we want to smash this by getting well over 70 there this time. We have a lovely area that will take that number of caravans and the show itself is a fantastic event that will not disappoint. There really is something for the whole family.
So put the dates 13th, 14th, 15th of August 2021 in your diary now and get those dates booked off work early. Be part of a record breaking event that will go down in history.
Show Address: Newbury Showground, Priors Court, Hermitage, Thatcham, West Berkshire, RG18 9QZ
Don't book direct with the show organisers, just contact me (07771544419) to get your pitch saved.

Roof Fixings
Does anybody know where i can get 4 roof fixings (the ones that are held in place by 4 screws in each) from?
Not sure what you mean. Do you mean the metal 'bits' that are fixed to the roof which have to be pulled down into the jaws of the clamp 'bits' (which are on top of the end walls)?

Roof fixings
Good question Inky, I'd allowed myself to forget that I need a couple of those as well. The springs have broken in mine.
Looking at them, I'm sort-of wondering if I couldn't modify an old-fashioned garden-gate latch, to do this job......sounds slightly barmy I s'pose, it's just the unit always reminds me of gate latches. It might just be simpler to make new springs; however, those blade-type springs are well-known for giving trouble in car-door mechanisms, etc.
It would be dead easy to make lowering the roof a real pain, getting these wrong.
I'm a bit reluctant even to get round to removing one, as its loss renders the caravan un-erectable, unless risks are taken.
