Essential dates for your diary

20th to 22nd June 2008

We have booked the rally field at Anita's Touring Caravan Park, just north of Banbury. It is part of a working farm situated on the edge of Mollington village. It has fairly basic facilities, with clean toilets and showers and is very well kept with friendly and welcoming owners. The village has a pub within easy walking distance (see child waypoint below), and the nearest shop is in Cropredy or you can drive about 4 miles to Banbury for a full range of shopping (see child waypoint below).  On the down side there is only five electric hook-ups available on the rally field for the softies amongst us :), and these will be allocated on a first come basis so book quick to avoid disappointment - sorry all gone. For those without hook-up, we will be able to provide a charging facility for PDA's, laptops etc and probably a communal kettle.
If you are still desperate for a hook-up the site does have other pitches with hook-up, but you will have to book it directly with the campsite as these are not on the rally field and you will have to pay standard campsite rates. If you mention at the time of booking that you are with the Geocaching group on the rally field they may be able to allocate you a pitch nearby.

The obligatory BBQ will be held on the Saturday evening to which all smiley hunters are welcome (note: there is a small charge for non-campers cars). It would be helpful if a few campers could bring a BBQ along and we will provide some basics such as salad, rolls, sauces etc, oh and don't forget to bring something to cook!

If you intend to come to this event please can you log your intentions below, and please include whether you are camping, if you require electric, which nights you are camping and how many is in your party. I suggest you add this page to your watch list as you will then be automatically notified when we add any updates.

Tariff
No deposit will be required and bookings and money collection will be done by us and passed onto the campsite.
The price is an inclusive charge per pitch with no extra charges.

Small tent (up to 4 person) £6.00
Larger tents, caravans & motorhomes £8.00
Pitch with hook-up £11.50
Visitors (BBQ) per car £1.00

Note: these prices include a small donation for use of the showers

There are a few minor rules that we will need to abide by but I'm sure they won't be a problem, will they:

  • All dogs are to be kept on leads and owners will clear up after them.

  • If you think you might be having a few late night drinks (you know who you are!) you will be allocated a pitch furthest away from holiday campers, unfortunately these are also the furthest away from the electrics.

  • Any BBQs or fires must be off of the ground.

  • And most important, enjoy yourselves

The following cachers have booked for camping, if there is a mistake or we have missed you off please let us know ASAP.

As has become customary at our events Sue will be running a charity raffle with proceeds again going to Dogs for the Disabled. Very apt this year as their head office is only a few miles up the road.  If you have any prizes that you would like to donate please let us know by email. The raffle will be drawn at the Dreaming Spires Cache Bash 2008 event on the Sunday at 2pm. Lets see if we can beat last years amount of £200, difficult I know but we're sure that you can do it.

If you would like to discuss this event please visit the thread on the UK Forums Let's Go Camping In Banbury.
