New venue for Covi SuperShow rally
28th July 2016
An exciting new venue has been confirmed for the 2017 Covi Motorhome, Caravan & Outdoor SuperShow Rally – Ellerslie Racecourse.
The new site offers a heap of benefits: ample parking space in lovely surroundings in the centre of one of the country’s most picturesque racecourses; the availability of bars and restaurants on-site; an on-site dump station; and even an on-site golf driving range.
It’s also easy-to-reach, just off the motorway for out of town visitors and will be connected to the Covi SuperShow venue at the ASB Showgrounds – which is just two kilometres away - by a free all-day bus service for rally-goers.
Delighted with the new venue, Spot On Exhibitions’ Chris Gaskell says the need to relocate the rally followed problems over the past two years with the reducing availability of space at Alexandra Park.
“This year we only learnt a week before the event that a huge area would be the fenced off and unavailable for motorhome parking,” he said. “As a result we ended up with motorhomes parked at three venues and having to move people around.
“Obviously that was far from ideal; but the one good thing that came out of the experience was the opportunity to trial overnight parking at Ellerslie Racecourse. It proved an ideal site, so we’re very happy to be able to confirm that we’re going to be basing the entire Covi SuperShow rally there next year – and there will be no need to shift rallygoers during the event.”
The rally will be open to all CSC vehicles and will run from Thursday 16th of March to until Monday 20th of March.
The country’s premiere motorhome expo, the Covi Motorhome, Caravan & Outdoor SuperShow is going to be held at the ASB Showgrounds from March 17-19, 2017. For more details check out the rally section of the website.
