Looe Meet: Friday 2nd to Monday 5th October 2020
Location: Camping Caradon Touring Park
Trelawne, Looe, Cornwall PL13 2NA
=====================================================================================
**** Update on Looe Meet ****
Please Note: We are no longer classing this meet as a VW California Rally as we do not want to encourage anyone to go against the current COVID-19 restrictions that were announced this week and all group activities have been cancelled.
Your booking is with the campsite and you are still welcome to attend next weekend. Please ensure you go to reception to check in and you will be then be told where to pitch.
=====================================================================================
31st March update - Due to the current situation, this meet is now postponed. I have provisionally rescheduled it for the first weekend in October (2-5) but this will depend on whether we are out of the crisis by then. If not, it will have to be put back to next year.
I understand that there are many people facing financial problems over the next few months, so if you wish to cancel, please email your bank details to me and I will send you a refund.

I hope you are all safe and well.

Camping Caradon is a very well maintained site with utility block for showers/toilets and washing up, a children’s play area, a small games room and a bar/restaurant with an adjoining club room which would be available for our use.
The site is located halfway between the seaside towns of Looe and Polperro. There is an hourly bus service from the campsite gate to both towns so no need to drive there! Both towns have a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes.
The South West Coast Path runs through both Looe and Polperro, so if you want to walk, you can get the bus to Looe, walk the 4 miles to Polperro via Talland Bay (with a café for a pit stop), then get the bus back from Polperro (or vice versa).
There are various local attractions for both adults and children e.g. The Lost Gardens of Helligan, The Eden Project, Monkey Sanctuary and Aquapark amongst many others. For literary fans, there is Daphne du Maurier’s Fowey and Winston Graham’s Charlestown (Poldark). See the Caradon website for more information.

Dogs are not allowed on the main beach in East Looe, but Hannafore Beach in West Looe allows dogs all year round as do Talland Bay and Polperro Beaches.
The Club is taking bookings for 50 VANS ONLY so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment
The campsite have said that they would prefer the club to coordinate the bookings and these can be made via the link below. In discussions with Admin, as per usual club meets, the booking fee is non-refundable.
Cost
Note: unless you are booking for multiple vans, you are only buying ONE ticket for the 3 or 2 nights!!
This thread will be updated as the date approaches with details of planned events and anything else thought relevant. Happy to answer any queries along the way. This is a lovely area and just around an hour from Exeter.
