California Club Meet Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Thursday 28th June - 1st July 2018 - SOLD OUT

Many thanks to Gareth and his assistants for organising a most enjoyable weekend. There can't be many better places than Tenby's beaches in the sunshine. I feel like I have walked every inch of them and was quite pleased to be back at work today for a rest!!

Thanks to everyone for your great company.

Paul & Joan
 
Adding our thanks to Gareth and his helpers for a lovely meet. We'd left Tenby alone until now but having Gareth's local insight made it a great visit.

We've moved on to West Hook campsite near Marloes (50 mins or so from Tenby). Quite a breeze blowing so we are sitting in fleeces....lovely! View attachment 35073
As you know we met you on Marloes beach today searching for your lost dog. :helpJulie and I found Rosie back at the car park and handed him to a holidaymaker who was on his way back to the beach down the cliff path. We trust he found you - if not here's the photo!!
All part of the VWCC post meet customer service.:cheers

Hi Gareth - all reunited successfully thank you! The story seems to be that she followed a family with another black lab up the hill, encouraged by the hope of ice creams etc.

That's the first big fright in 5.5 years. Must have been the sight of me in my wetsuit that caused her to bolt!

Big thanks to Gareth & Julie, for all your hard work that you put in to make such a fantastic and memorable meet. Big thumbs up for Julie’s Welsh cakes and the free Tenby beer which was an unexpected surprise, along with the 16 page brochure…. Very useful.

It did make us chuckle when on Sunday morning we saw Gareth’s Admin sign chucked in the hedge.
A Brilliant weekend with lots of fun and laughter and new friends.
 
Location: Well Park Caravan Site, New Hedges, Tenby, Wales. SA70 8TL

Welcome to Tenby, also known as the 'Jewel in the Crown' of Pembrokeshire. The club has secured a private field at Well Park Caravan Site, for a June 2018 meet. A number of campsites were considered, with Well Park being the best option.Tenby is a busy holiday resort getting a campsite to meet our needs for such a short period of time was quite a challenge.

The availability of this field will allow the club to be self-contained and social activities are being considered to ensure members get the best out of the occasion. June is a great time of year to visit Tenby, before the main holiday season when the town is very busy.

We have added an additional day (Thursday 28th) for those members who plan to arrive on the Thursday rather than the Friday. Departure day would be Sunday 1st July for all.

The normal fee for a camper without electric is £16 per vehicle with additional fees for the number of people (over 3), pets and awnings. The club has negotiated a price to include no restriction / additional fees for additional persons, pets and awnings. In addition we have the use of a private gated field on site solely for club use.

Cost

£33.50 per vehicle for the weekend - Friday and Saturday
£49.50 per vehicle for Thursday, Friday and Saturday

This includes up to 5 persons and booking / transaction fee. Dogs go free


The site is well maintained and has good facilities including free use of showers. Members should note the following before booking; the allocated field has no electric hook-up facility and the showers and toilets are approximately 70yds from the field. A main road is adjacent to the site and one corner of the field will run alongside this. Please see the attached picture.

Well Park has a small bar and the site is next to the main Tenby road in the village of New Hedges. Two public houses are a short walk away, together with a small mini-market which sells everything needed. Tenby is less than one mile away and a pleasant walk (downhill) via a shortcut through a wooded lane, (bicycles OK). If you don’t want to walk, there is a bus stop is just opposite the site. The nearest beach is Waterwynch (900yds ) as is the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park coastal footpath which will take you either into Tenby or the lovely village of Saundersfoot.

Tenby is a seaside resort and harbour town in Pembrokeshire. It’s known for its 13th-century town walls, picturesque harbour, and beautiful sandy beaches. There is a great range of shops and restaurants. Siting just 2 miles offshore is the monastic island of Caldey which can be visited by boat. Nearby attractions include Pembroke Castle, the birthplace of Henry VII, and a range of amusement parks and entertainment venues.

The Club is taking bookings for approximately 40 VANS ONLY working on a space of 21' wide per allocated plot so we recommend to book early to avoid dissapointment


The caravan site have said that they would prefer the club to coordinate the bookings and these can be made via the below link and Cali Club Admin. In discussions with Admin as per usual club meets, the booking fee is non refundable.

This thread will be updated as the date approaches with full directions, details of planned events and anything else thought relevant. Happy to answer any queries along the way. Tenby is a beautiful place, not too far off the M4 so come and enjoy.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Gareth & Julie for a fantastic meet. It was our 3rd and definitely the best so far. Friendly with loads of information and the free beer and welsh cakes went down a treat. Great ambassadors for a jewel of a seaside town. Where next? The bar is definitely raised.
p.s. Gareth - Can you send details of the natty iPad ariel/receiver that you were using pleaseIMG_20180630_140615.jpg

Hi both
Thank you for your kind words - it was a pleasure to host the meet and the weather tends to make it easy (and its still shining).

The TV receiver is called "August"
https://www.augustint.com/en/productmsg-1-256.html
software downloads are also available
https://www.augustint.com/en/downloadsoft-9.html
Its still available on Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016DDPABQ/?tag=vwcalifornia-21
HOWEVER It seems the software you need to use it with ie SIANO TV is no longer available on the Apple App Store - there may be a work around with August software down loads I'm not sure. If Loz is reading this he'll certainly know.

Thanks very much. I'll put it only wish list :)
 
Lovely report, the local weeklies are such a valuable resource throughout the UK, their journalists are invariably keen to bring interesting stories to their readers without the baggage that often accompanies the national press.
Just ignore their typo!! I'm pretty sure Tom and Clare visited 34 Countries not Counties :)
 
Great job to both Gareth and Julie for organising a truly memorable weekend. Can’t say thank you enough and would like to think other members are inspired to organise a meet in an area local to them.
Thanks again to Gareth and Julie. xx

Hi All,
I contacted the developers on LOZ's advise and hey presto the app is now back on the App Store search for Siano TV HD. I set mine all up yesterday and all is working.
