The annual Scottish Caravan & Outdoor Leisure Show will be back in action next week and any attending Formula 1 fans will be delighted to see local boy Paul di Resta cutting the ribbon to open the 25th show.
Paul di Resta is actually a Caravan Club member himself and is proud to be the guest of honour at the 25th anniversary celebrations. The four day long show will take place at Glasgow’s Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) from 2nd to 5th February. Di Resta is not the first Formula 1 star to perform the ribbon-cutting task, fellow Scot David Coulthard did the honours in 2011. Caravan Club marketing director, Lawrence Bates, explains the link between F1 and caravans, “Caravans and motorhomes are a huge part of the F1 scene, with them being used by drivers to allow them to stay track-side, and by F1 fans to allow them to follow their favourite sport around the world and stay up close to the action.
Those who plan to attend the exhibition are in for a treat this year. Over one hundred and fifty companies will be displaying their wares to the attendees, with special events including one of the first showings of Eterniti Caravan’s new luxury slide-out tourers. As well as the event being kicked off by a Scottish sportsman, Fife-based East Neuk Caravans will be taking advantage of the occasion to unveil their brand new Fifer Pod.
The Scottish Caravan & Outdoor Leisure Show will be in the SECC from 2nd to 5th February, as mentioned above. If you would like to attend, tickets cost £7 for adults, £6 for seniors and those under 16 are free of charge.
