Sorry maybe a stupid question but is there water available or do we need to fill up before arrival?

If you have a water container there are taps dotted around. If you need water in your van, I would fill up before you get here if possible

Great to see such an amazing gathering of cali’s and grand cali’s this weekend, hopefully see you all at slimbridge

 

[Mr T]

Did anyone leave their windbreak behind by accident? I have picked it up, so please get in touch if it’s yours!

Camper Jam 16 is done!
Many thanks to all the Cali owners that camped with us at Camper Jam. We had 40 vans in total, and a great bunch of people made for a fantastic weekend.
So nice to see some first timers join us, and some more frequent attendees, everyone was enjoying the social aspect of the group and the great show with music, trade stalls and lots of VW’s!

We had one couple travel over from Ireland, another from Scotland and one late arrival Friday evening that had flown into Manchester earlier in the day from Porto and then jumped in their Cali and drove down to Camper Jam!
What a dedicated bunch of owners you all are!
Thank you all for making this event a fab one, it’s the people that make these weekends great!
Safe travels, huge thanks to everyone once again and hope to see you at Busfest!
Chris

Thanks Chris, our 1st not our last Camper Jam! So many people we never got round to meeting at the club site time just flew by. The people we did meet were so friendly and a great laugh, hints and tips shared by all. You know who you are you cheese eating surrender monkeys hope to see you all again soon maybe in Ireland?
Oh and a special thanks to Will & Sarah of Campervan time and your two friends who helped us wrestle with a large groundsheet in a very strong wind

Far too orderly for a ferry queue!

Could that belong to @Kali the Kampa ? looking at another thread it looks very similar to one in their picture, and they appear to have purchased a new windbreak at the weekend. https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/camperjam-16-2025.58948/

 

[OllieCollieCali]

Thankyou everyone for a great weekend! Huge thankyou to Chris for all his hard work organising, and being there to welcome everyone and show them to the pitches.
This was our first club meet, and first Camperjam, and was great to meet so many of you, and chat. Sorry we didnt get to meet everyone, but those that we did were super friendly and we had a great weekend! A great way to end our 2 week road trip around the lake district on our way back to Southampton. Definitely be back again next year, and definitely more meets in between.

We had a great experience at camperjam.

Our first VW festival and was lovely to see all of the other calis, get some much needed hints and tips!

We loved the vibe around the club camping and much appreciated the welcome!

The shops were fantastic, bought lots of things we did not need and ignored everything on the shopping list!

Met some lovely people as well!

Thanks Carl for the very handy hooks!

We have club camping for Busfest and cannot wait to do it all again!

Morning - again, what a great club to be part of - honesty is such a disappearing quality these days and we have to keep societies fabric going. Yes, it is ours. We packed up Saturday night as we were off to Norfolk early Sunday so I placed that under the van - drove off early and for the first time ever never checked the pitch as we left lol.
Mr T - would you kindly drop that into a charity shop of your choice please - only used twice so will be a good buy for someone.
Safe travels.
Leif.

Thanks Chris and to all for a top weekend

 

[CaliforniaCylus]

Excellent weekend, thanks Chris

 

[Do we or don't we]

Huge thanks Chris, it was our first camperjam in fact our first festival of any kind and we were a little apprehensive and wondering if being in our early sixties it was a bit late to start attending festivals. However it was fabulous we met some lovely people especially the 2 couples either side of us from Southampton and Cornwall and a special thanks to Carl for solving my kitchen roll dilemma that had been driving me mad since we bought our Cali, Ellen is especially pleased as has stopped me constantly moaning about what to do with the kitchen roll. Have a great summer everyone.
