I am sure that someone will just point me at the relevant post but for a couple with a caravan can somebody please confirm whether the price is the £20 per night that the Wicksteed Park website lists.

Is "our" camping part of the general camping in 2012?

I have been on the Wicksteed site trying to book for a caravan (and 'er indoors) and it is £20 per night per van.

You do not need to book or be with a club, just turn up and enjoy. I would recomend some sort of cover to keep the sun off you

and a seat for the boss other than that, see you there. As you enter the park you will have to pay for parking, not sure what the cost is this year, but it aint bank breaking.

Booked yesterday and the cost was £20 per night if you want to go early, thursday night is £15 and that is it ,there are no other costs involved unless you want to go on the rides, will have to be good this year her from the kitchen is attending , still won't have to do my own cooking.
Cheers

Is there a camping area for us or are we amongst the general campers?

Youngat65 · « **Reply #233 on:** March 20, 2012, 09:58:49 am »

usualy an area of the field is roped of for us as a club

chingdevil · « **Reply #234 on:** March 20, 2012, 09:11:14 pm »

The WPMBC have arranged with the park for us to have an area, it should be roped off with a sign I hope it is big enough.

Cheers Russ.
I haven't seen any posting from him for a good time now. As long as he is OK. I don't suppose he has said if he is going to Wicky park this year?

6705russell · « **Reply #239 on:** March 22, 2012, 09:25:35 pm »

No Bill, to be honest we dont see much of him now at all, must have a lady in tow now!

Well i have tested out me new (new to us) caravan up in cold Norfolk this weekend. It all worked just fine so as soon as I get paid I will call Wicky park and book in.
Now then doses anyone have space for my 3 boats on there tables? 52" Arun (have own table )+ Fishing boat and fluffy punt 24" long. I can bring my small genorator so we can have some charging during the day, and to run a flood light for the eve BBQ . I don't fancy push starting all the cars on Sunday morning !!Can someone bring a tall stand to lash the light to?

redfunnelsteamer · « **Reply #243 on:** March 26, 2012, 08:21:32 pm »

Would it be a plan to maybe combine the two events at beale park and wicksteed park?
as beale has a very good size lake plenty of area for the traders as well as camping and other such facilities
the lake is devided by bouys and is less prone to windy conditions

It has been said that Beale needs a kick start and maybe this could be it to combine the forces of the clubs to keep it alive?

Stavros · « **Reply #244 on:** March 26, 2012, 09:09:48 pm »

Bill dont bother bringing a flood light as I will put in my one on a stand

Dave
