Visitors to the Scottish Caravan Motorhome and Holiday Home Show got an extra special treat today (6 February) as Gail Porter made a special guest appearance to declare the show open.
The TV presenter and model spoke on The Caravan Club stand and regaled the audience with tales of her caravanning adventures.
Gail arrived on site in a specially made Tartan caravan and kicked off the day by performing with Highland folk band Clanadonia, showing off her impressive skills with a maraca.
She was later joined on the stand by Nick Lomas, Director General of the Caravan Club, who introduced Gail and spoke of the Club’s plans for Scotland in 2014.
The Commonwealth Games will be coming to Glasgow this summer and those lucky enough to have snared a pitch at the sold-out Strathclyde Country Park site will be able to see the triathlon event in the park itself.
Nick added that camping pitches are still available there, and reminded us that there are 17 local CLs that will serve as a great launch pad for those keen to stay nearby during the Games.
The Scottish Caravan Motorhome and Holiday Home Show runs at the SECC Glasgow until Sunday (9 February). Tickets are available on the door, priced at £11 for adults and £10 for seniors, while kids under 16 can come along for free.
This year’s show is the biggest ever, with around 200 stands across five halls and more than £10million of tourers and holiday homes on display, so make sure you don’t miss out.
