All adults through the gate need to pay either £10 for the Saturday meet or £25 for weekend camping. For those aged 17 and under it's all free (when accompanied by an adult Club member). Despite our increasing costs, we have held the event cost to you at the same level for the past two years!
As ever it’s members & immediate family only, if you are not a member then you can join the club for £22.50 (UK membership) on line beforehand or at the gate to maintain our status with HMRC. Toilets & showers are available to all.
Provisional schedule for the weekend
Friday– from 4pm campers/motorhomes can arrive to set up their units. Ample parking on site but maybe not in your first choice of location.
