There is one place left, apparently, on the Rally field. They have just emailed me.

[Sandyvan]

Left it too late, I think we need two spots thanks.

 

[SimonB]

You would probably find, if you rang the site, that a space could be found in the main area of the campsite as well. Worth trying.

Would it be possible to "pop-in"? We might be visiting my parents in Dursley and would be staying with then.........

We popped in last last year for the day and had lunch in the pub, only downside we were not allowed to drive up to the rally field but maybe they have sorted that for this year

Any pits left?

Any pits left?

If you ring the site, they will be able to advise. If the Rally field is full, there may be some on the regular part of the site. It may be a little more, but you will be able to choose. You can check on line for spaces too, there were a number an hour ago. Please mention you are with the California Club & they will try to put you at our end of the site.
Hope this helps

I have asked the site and there is one place left on the Rally field and a few more left on the main site for that weekend.

The site have said that it is OK to have a few visitors and asked If they could pop into the office and just let us know their vehicle registration and reason for being on site that would be greatly appreciated.

During the forum move we lost the data for people attending this meet, can you please RSVP above, just click register, thanks

We have booked in however being Man City fans it looks like we’re going to Wembley that W/e if we get tix. Do you think the site would refund or would we need to offer the pitch to someone else?

You could try the site and see what they say, but more likely advertise it on here and sell it on. I think that is what some people did last year.

 

[Billy]

still a few electric pitches left if anyone wants to come

 

[SimonB]

Please be aware that if you are on an EHU then you are not on the main Rally field. The site is not huge so you will still be very close to the rest of us and you are very welcome to spend your time on the Rally field, but your Cali will be parked in the main body of the site.

If you have told the staff on the phone that you are with the California Club, they will try to put you as near to our field as they can.

We have the skittle alley at the Tudor Arms pub booked for Saturday night so we can mingle, have a bite to eat there and a drink.

See you all there.

Martin & Simon

There will also be a band on at the Black Shed as well as food and possibly take away Pizza.

I've just been told that they have sold the last place on the Rally field, but there are more on the main part of the site with EHU. Please be aware that you are not on the main Rally field. The site is not huge so you will still be very close to the rest of us and you are very welcome to spend your time on the Rally field, but your Cali will be parked in the main body of the site.

Just booked in today main part of site, Rally field unfortunately full but couldn't book any earlier due to new puppy.

 

[Moakesy]

Just booked. Can’t get in the main field, but looking forward to my first meet.

Can anyone who has stayed here before vouch for the quality of the WiFi ? Thinking of getting there early afternoon on the Friday and then working from the site for a few hours. If it was good enough to stream netflix, then it’ll be good enough for work purposes.

 

[Loz]

I get 4g on EE, but there is free wifi in the Black shed cafe opposite.

Drone chat. See the last post in this thread

Stunning scenery. Is that Iceland? Western Italian Alps https://goo.gl/maps/jV2J7KknEfwfrLZ86 It's a fabulous remote off road playground area, though perhaps not for the faint of heart...

Sorry about that Rosie, it was me that gave you the information, I am sure they said minimum stay was only for bank holidays

 

[SimonB]

I've just had a call from the site to remind us that over weekends in this busy part of the season the site has a 2 night minimum policy. Sorry if that inconveniences any one.

I've just read this on the sites web page.
New WiFi
New super-fast wifi available to all pitches. The aim is to give you the 'at-home' wifi experience.

We've tested it and you can stream movies from every pitch. You can set it up from your pitch and it works with multiple devices.
We love it - hope you like it too.
