Hi Phil


Despite what it says on the camping site website section I know that the park isn’t officially open until Easter weekend so I think that’s when the phone call bookings can start as the park is currently operating on a skeleton staff until then. I think it doesn’t help that Easter is late this year too.
I’ll see if we can get a discount but I can’t guarantee it this year but it shouldn’t the usual price as it isn’t a bank holiday weekend this year. I find out what I can- the club has a committee meeting this Friday to discuss things so I will see if anyone knows of any problems.

I hope so!

 I' had a bit of a gammy leg for 3 months now, but still hoping to get there both days to facilitate hot drinks for old ... and new friends!   :-))

Not long guys. Nearly time to book camping. Rumour has it that Mr Mayhem will be pushed around the lake in a wheelchair.....or was it pushed in the lake?

Managed to speak to the receptionist to see how booking camping happens now. It is all booked via the website and you can add extra cars if needed. I can’t get a discount for this year but I may have a chance next year once I know how the camping booking system works- fingers crossed I can be briefed by the new receptionist when she has time.
It didn’t help that my point of contact has just changed at the last minute so I’m re-briefing them with all the details but it’s all booked in.
As always tables will be at a premium so four will be reserved for the Scottish contingent and a couple for Steamboat Phil. If you can bring your own tables it would be most appreciated.
Model Boats magazine will have an events mention in the next issue.
Any trader always welcome to display and set up shop, let me know if you have any particular needs, I already know of  Ron Dean’s requirements if he is willing to display but others please message me if you want to know more.
Last thing… picture of the lake so far :-))

Please DO NOT BOOK YET.
WEBSITE STATES

If you put the start and finish date in, it counts the days,  not the nights.
Ie i will stay thurs (26th) night till sunday (29th), 3 nights. 2 x £15, 1 × £25. Total £55. Booking via the website adds an EXTRA £25!
NICK is aware and will contact the park.

So essentially if you are staying until Sunday book your campsite for Saturday as you have until 10am the next day to vacate the pitch. It’s a weird way of doing things and I will be messaging the park’s management to mention this potential confusion.
So basically:
If like Klunk you are staying at the park from Thursday to Sunday you need to book Thursday to Saturday as you are covered for Saturday night until 10am Sunday morning. I don’t know why they have set up the booking like this as most campsites (and I’m sure the old Wicksteed system) are booking for the amounts of nights you stay. The receptionist did say that if there was a problem you can still correct it when you collect your camping ticket/etc from reception. They are still recovering and got completely new staff to man the park post Covid which also hasn’t helped. Any problems please message me. :-))

Thanks to my local club Wicksteed Park and Martin (admin for permission :))  I will have a traders stall setup. With a raffle being drawn Sunday afternoon to win a £50 voucher.  We’ll have a great selection of figures and items for sale also.
