Please don't shout and as a result I haven't even bothered to read the majority of your post, as it pi##es people off and I recall some idiot called 'Treacle32' who did a Pump and Dump here. I have no position whatsoever and I wish all genuine shareholders all the very best.

Looking back over previous couple of years I don't think we'll get a trading statement now. It'll be straight to final results for year ending 31 August 2009. Although we should get a notice of results any day now imo with the results towards end of November or early December.

From the National Caravan Council:-

12 October 2009

Number of caravan holidays taken in 2009 up 24 per cent and new caravanners set to boost new industry sales



12th October 2009

PRESS RELEASE ~ PRESS RELEASE ~ PRESS RELEASE

CARAVANNING ON THE CREST OF A WAVE
• Number of caravan holidays taken in 2009 up 24 per cent
• New caravanners set to boost future industry sales

The trade association for the UK caravan industry, the NCC (National Caravan Council) says that figures recently released by VisitBritain for their United Kingdom Tourism Survey show that caravanning and camping is proving hugely popular in 2009.

Holidays to Britain's caravan parks between January and May were up by 24 per cent when compared with last year. With the number of holidays taken in the UK up by 16 per cent, caravanning is clearly outperforming the market.

Speaking before the International Caravan and Motorhome show at the NEC (13-18 October) Director General of the NCC, John Lally said: "Interest in buying new caravans and motorhomes is beginning to rise again – the economic crisis had understandably made buyers cautious. Manufacturers and dealers are very aware that value is uppermost in purchasers' minds - and value is what's clearly on offer in the new, high-spec models coming to the show.

"Through the summer, we have had a large number of people new to the market trying caravan holidays (both in tourers and in caravan holiday homes) for the first time – or the first time for many years. With the high quality, diverse and excellent value product that our industry offers, I am confident that we can convert these holidaymakers to long-term caravanners. And that bodes well for the success of the Birmingham show in October," he said.

[treacle32] 08/11/2009 19:25

Still no trading statement but more evidence about recovery in sector with Swift and other manufacturers expecting a good whole 2010 for the motorhome and caravan trade. Only stock imo left awaiting a serious re-rating!

Coachman enjoys most successful International Caravan & Motorhome Show to date.

October 23, 2009

Coachman Caravans, one of the UK's leading caravan manufacturers, recently enjoyed unprecedented success at the International Caravan & Motorhome Show 2009. The event, which took place at the NEC in Birmingham from the 13th – 18th October, saw Coachman sell a total of 410 caravans, resulting in £6.8M sales.

"This time last year we were deep into the recession and whilst we remained optimistic, we acknowledged that tough times were ahead. However, the results from this year's NEC show are extremely positive and the best that we have ever experienced. The atmosphere and attendance was back to what it was before the recession which created a fantastic atmosphere.

"We hope our recent achievements at the NEC signify that the caravan industry is making great strides out of the recession. We still have some way to go but will be working hard to make the 2010 season a successful one."

Lunar Growth Continues

Lunar Growth Continues

Despite the current economic climate caravanning has increased as the great British holiday becomes more and more popular.

Since the start of the 2009 calendar year Lunar Caravans have seen retail demand grow constantly.

Staycation Britain creates all time record sales of £28 million for Swift Group at NEC Show

20 October 2009

Britain's rediscovering of the benefits of caravan holidays helped Britain's largest manufacturer, Cottingham based Swift Group, achieve all time record sales of £28 million at the International Caravan and Motorhome Show held at the NEC, Birmingham last week.

The level of sales was almost £10 million more than at the same show last year and is a clear indication that many people are planning to holiday in the UK again next year. It also marks the beginning of a fight back by both the company and the industry which were hit hard at the start of the recession.

Sales were helped by record attendance at the show, another clear indication that people are looking for value for money, stay at home holidays in the current economic climate.

"The results at the show exceeded our wildest expectations and gives us more confidence for the whole of 2010. The mixture of existing owners coming back into the market and a large number of younger couples and families spending their holiday money on our products for the first time is really positive news going forward," Commercial Director Nick Page commented.

News is well overdue. I meant not seen that size a buy for weeks so is a buy size higher than usual.

[induna123] 06/11/2009 09:40

Bit if it went to 5p then it would be £15,000 which is hardly small change ;)

[this_is_me] 05/11/2009 23:55

300,000 is only about £3,000, hardly big money.
