Ridge Farm, Wareham. 21st/22nd June - interest?

[Kenb17]

At the recent Redshoot informal meet the conversation turned to a meet in Purbeck following our couple of days there before arriving at Redshoot.

I have been in touch with Ridge Farm (details below) and they can accommodate 12 or so VWCC members on the 21/22 June, the pitches would not have EHU.

Ridge Farm is a bit of a favourite of ours, it is friendly site, a little old fashioned with good clean facilities. It has a great location just 15 minutes walk from Wareham Quay (market Saturday mornings) and various other walks, the more ambitious can get to Arne or Corfe.

Can I get a measure of interest and happy to press on and liaise with Ridge Farm.

Thanks

Hi Ken, this is great to see and thank you very much for looking into a small meet-up.
Unfortunately I am unable to make this particular weekend as my GC is booked in for a service (seems you have to book months in advance nowadays!).

I really do hope others take up this opportunity to meet.
Maybe next time!

Thank Gillian, so far a small and select group - It may be we are hitting the time when many have holiday plans ahead of the school holidays.

For those who have expressed an interest @GillianC @Riggers @Hotel du van are you interested with just a few - we will probably head down the weekend whatever?

For others, do let me know.

I plan to contact Ridge early next week and update them.

Many thanks,
Ken

I have just returned from Scotland and checked my diary. Yes I would like to come along. I will book as soon as you confirm

 

[Kenb17]

I have contacted Glenda at Ridge and will update as soon as she gets back to me

[GillianC]

Thanks Ken. I think you have 5 atm and maybe more will join in the next few weeks if we keep the thread visible!
Better than my first meet when it was only me
Let us all know when we can book x

 

[Calimagg]

Would have loved to have come, but have a concert booked for the 21st. Thanks for organising though.

 

[Kenb17]

Good afternoon @GillianC @Riggers @Hotel du van @SamSara and any others wishing to come along,

I have the following details and booking arrangements from Glenda.

Many thanks for your email. We do have pitches available for those dates. If it is a smaller group of campers, we may have electric pitches available, electric pitches go really quick, so best to book as soon as possible.

If you would like to go ahead and book, please complete the attached booking form (link below) and make a deposit payment of £20.00. Once I have received these, I can secure your pitch. I would need a separate booking form and deposit for each pitch. Please quote 'California Club' on the top of the booking form so that hopefully we can put you near to each other.

I have attached the link to the booking form and please put ‘California Club’ at the top:

Please also let me know when you have booked and look forward to seeing in June.

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken
It says dogs by arrangement only but I can’t get through on the phone.
Do you think it will be OK for Jane and I to book a dog in each?
Thanks
Gillian

 

[Kenb17]

Hi Gillian,

I have been in touch with Glenda and she said that is OK if you could mark it on the booking form.

Thanks
Ken

 

[Kenb17]

Dear All,

Quick update on booking Glenda has just asked if you could put California Club. And my name (not quite sure why) on the top of the form.

Thanks
Ken

Hi Ken
Think I have sent the forms for myself and Jane and have paid our deposit.
Will check tomorrow. Booked EHU I hope.
I put Cali on the top of the forms but your name too on the email.
Should be great. Thanks for organising it.

 

[SamSara]

Deposit paid for standard non electric pitch

Anyone paddle board or kayak going? I’ll bring my board if I have company otherwise I will walk to Corfe for cake.

I haven’t got a paddle board but I’m happy to walk to Corfe for cake.

For those who don’t have their own SUP/Kayak and fancy getting on the water there is a boat hire location at the bridge in wareham:

Wareham Boat Hire Ltd - Boat Hire from Wareham, Dorset.

Offering self drive motor boats, kayaks, canoes, rowing boats, boat trips and paddle boards for hire on the beautiful River Frome from Wareham.

Think Ken said there is a Saturday market at Wareham quay too, 15 mins walk away which sounds good. I stopped there once before when I was staying at Corfe but it was packing up.
Should be great.

 

[Kenb17]

Hi Gillian,
Yes, market day is Saturday, from 08:00 for the early risers!
