Let me know if someone resigns, because there are no pitches left.
 
See you on Friday @Mattsv .
@SamSara and @kurienp could you check with BOB that this will be OK please and let me know. They would need to have the new details anyway but should be asked.
 
I just came back from Dorset yesterday evening, so that's another weekend in the same area. I will test drive away awning, which I just bought from forum member :)
I did get forum sticker, but I'm not sure, what I did with it, so I don't think I will have it on the van.

I see the others have arranged a swap. I checked with BoB and they would be fine. Maybe my mum will be fine and I can run away to join the fun.
 
Morning. A few of us arrived at BOB yesterday. There have been some big improvements to the bar has been extended and now has a proper vinyl floor.
I am on pitch 51 so pop over and say hello when you arrive.

Sounds good! Will see you soon :cheers
 
Change of arrangements for tonight ..
Think I’ve seen most people but just in case…..
The bar manager has said that in order for everyone to get a seat tonight we would need to get there at 3.30! The bar starts serving drinks at 4 and the band are on at 6.
So, with that in mind either get there very early or eat in your van (fish and chip van tonight) and go over a bit later for the music.
I plan to eat then go over.
 
Here are some photos from the weekend.
Hope we all agree that the staff were brilliant and made us welcome?
Planning another meet at BOB next November and hopefully Red Shoot in April. Will put details on here shortly.

Following the success of the meet at the Back of Beyond near Ringwood this year I have agreed with the site that we hold another one on the weekend of 9/10th November 2024. This time of year suits them best because they are less busy. This an adults only site and is a member of the Tranquil Parks group. The facilities are excellent and the Blue Tides are playing again in the bar that weekend. There are lovely walks (albeit a bit muddy this year!) and a wooded area where you can let dogs off-lead.
This is an unofficial gathering so everyone should book their pitch directly with the site and put in the request box that you are with the California Club. Please also make sure that you book a hardstanding pitch as the astroturf and grass are likely to be waterlogged.
A well-stocked shop, freshly baked pastries for breakfast and visiting food vans (Thai, pizza and fish and chips) add to the enjoyment!
If you could post here when you have booked please I can keep a tally of numbers.
See you there!


Gillian
Thank you Gillian for organising the weekend we had a great time and will be looking forward to the next meeting. Being new to this we got lots of good advice and some great tips on equipment to make things easier.
Once again thanks
Glen and Sue.
