Ok folks, clear your diaries for 18th – 20th May, pack the car,
load the GPS and Tom Tom, and get yourself to Cheshire for a
weekend of fun, and some fabulous caching!
Elm Cottage Caravan Park is situated close to Northwich and
Winsford near a lovely village called Little Budworth. For those
not in the know – this is a cache rich area, with a great variety
of caches nearby.
Elm Cottage Caravan Park
The site itself is just off the A54, which is easily accessible
from Chester in the West, and from the M6 in the East.
We are booked onto the Rally Field of the campsite, which means
our fees have been greatly reduced to only £6.00 per night per
tent, and an additional £2.25 per night if you need electric hook
up.
Looks like the HUUUGE numbers of peole coming has reduced the
Barn Hire to only £1 per person for the weekend - it's just not
worth NOT having it!! I'll collect donations for this at the event
itself!
The actual event will now be on the SATURDAY evening - a BBQ /
fun / games etc with a mini treasure hunt for the kids and chance
to swap stories and TB's with those attending as day(evening!)
guests.
It's been suggested we kick off the BBQ at about 6pm, to give those
that are caching a chance to get back.
I will bring some meat / buns / etc, but all donations of food
willbe appreciated - likewise barbequeues!
The Golem will be there with his super duper BBQ skills that he
showed off at Lancs camping event last year - but if not, I'll be
looking for volunteer chefs too!
It's been agreed with the campsite owners that I will manage the
bookings and the taking of camping fees. This is what has reduced
our fees to £6.00 a night as opposed to a tenner.
I'm quite happy to take advance payments for fees if you would
like to - I can do this by cheque or paypal, just let me know and
I'll arrange it, otherwise it'll be cash (or is that cache!) on
arrival! If you want to pay by paypal before you go... then PLEASE
let me have your email address... I am NOT a mindreader (although
I'd love to be!)
All the hookups are now taken, however... I may have ONE free, but
might not know until nearer the date.
***********BBQ on Saturday Evening***********
Everyone is welcome to come to the BBQ on the saturday evening -
and donations of food / BBQ's / help with cooking will be
appreciated.
There will be games etc for the kids (and adults!!!)
DAY TRIPPERS
Please pull your cars onto the Rally Field (where we will be
camping) but leave them in the marked bays.... PLEASE DO NOT park
in the reception area of the campsite unles it is VERY wet, as this
clogs up the little car park!
*************ADDED NOTE*************
PLEASE NOTE
There is no need to book in with reception either before you
come, or on arrival... Just pull onto the Rally Field (there will
be arrows pointing the way!!) and come and find me!!
Most of all... lets all enjoy ourselves!
