California Club Meet Informal Meet Lechlade 1-4th October 2021

[GillianC]

I went to see my friend this weekend and it is all systems go for an unofficial Cali meet at her farm at Lechlade.
This is very much a trial event but if successful could become a regular occurrence.
It will be on a working dog training/ boarding business so we couldn’t get access till after 5 pm on Friday and we could either leave anytime on Sunday or after mid morning on Monday.
It is within easy walking distance of Lechlade with its river, shops and pubs and a really lovely garden centre in the other direction.

Very peaceful location and we would have our own massive field (or in the event of bad weather there is hard standing), 4 toilets and one shower in a mobile home plus the ability to charge devices and 2 EHU points in the event of an emergency.
There is also an elsan point and fresh water tap.
The access road isn’t great but manageable - I’ve been up it numerous times and they have had dog agility camps with caravans going up and down.
£20 a night payable in cash . Great dog walks and a very friendly and welcoming host.
Max 10 spaces available so let me know if you would like me to reserve you a space.
PS the trees would be cut back to allow more height through to the camping field .

I’m not available that weekend, sorry.

That's a shame.
Hopefully we will have some more takers.

It looks a super spot Gillian, a good find. Lots to do in the area without having to move the Cali if you don't want to.
I'll check the calendar.

Ps would this be with or without a dog?

 

[GillianC]

Excellent!
Dogs more than welcome and some lovely walks from there and access to their own fields too.
Look forward to meeting you then.

Hi Gillian, thanks for organising this event. Count us in please. Never been to Lechlade before so that will be a first. Hope to meet plenty of new and existing friends on what looks to be a great weekend away. Thanks again.

Looking forward to seeing old ( that doesn’t sound right somehow ) and new faces. Lechlade is a lovely place.

I happen to live in Lechlade so if anyone wants some local info on where to go/what to do then let me know.

We had some excitement yesterday- someone magnet fishing in the Thames pulled out a live grenade. Long story short - bomb squad did a controlled explosion. Second time it’s happened this year!

Hi Gillian, we would love to support your friends generous offer of a site meet. Lovely part of the world and looking forward to it.

 

[GillianC]

Just a reminder that there are 9 spaces left for this meet.
An excellent chance for the new owners to come and see other vans and get some tips.
