Default Hamm Review

Well here are my views on this trip

I was pleased that everyone turned up on time this time and that we were not left waiting at Ashford. Thank you everyone.

What came next was a complete F@@@ up, The coach broke down, this was after Heritage guaranteed us that the coach would be kept off the road for two days for full service and maintenance and although you cannot predict breakdowns the way we were treated was, as far as I was concerned, far from satisfactory. With this in mind WE WILL NOT BE USING THEM AGAIN! I have this morning spoken to two Manchester Coach Companies who will have all the relevant information to me by the end of the week. As soon as I have this I will let you all know as I know a lot of people want to get the coach to the Hamm show in December.

We got into the show about an hour later than normal, with no q’s, which for me was pure bliss, no shoving or being crushed, I thought this time the show was very Corn and Leo dominated but there were still some very nice animals to tempt everyone, I know I bought a few bits that I didn’t go for.

All in all I Enjoyed the show very much and apart from the coach letting us down I hope everyone got what they went for, I would just like to apologise for the problems we had with Heritage but want to reassure everyone that they have had their two chances and as far as I am concerned have well and truly blown it.

Steve

One of the Manchester companies isnt Maines Coaches is it? I wouldnt touch them with a barge pole mate, they recycle some of the oldest couches around. If there isnt one broke down at any one time id be very suprised.

Glad you enjoyed the show, everyone ive spoke too has said it was a good 'en too.
