Join us on an RCBDA meet or THS!

Check out 2025’s programme at at https://www.rcbdaccc.co.uk/calendar/list-of-events/

Kevin Heaver, our Sites Officer, would like to get stewards agreed for all these meets preferably before the end of the year if possible. So if you wish to volunteer please let him know.  We will need more than one set of stewards at some meets but he can sort that out. The stewards at a meet do not pay site fees for the days they are stewarding.
The Pierrepont meet is not confirmed at the moment as we are trying to agree an acceptable price.
Please let Kevin know via Facebook, or by phoning or texting 07974830123 which meet or meets you would like to steward.

Important Site Change

Unfortunately we are unable to visit Warren Wood Farm for our FOL 8th to 10th September. So I have booked Amners Farm, Burghfield to replace it. Same opening and closing times, theme for decorations is still ‘Nursery Thymes’. This is a large flat site. Some motorway noise but not too bad. Sue and Steve, Portia and I will steward but call me with any questions please. Food will be available on Saturday evening. The landowner is helping us out so please, please support this event. The more the merrier!

Events, News

From the Sites Officer. . .

Big thanks to Graham and June for stewarding Mapledurham this weekend. Only 10 units out but the weather I am sure put a few off.
Only 5 meets left but plenty to enjoy and look forward to.
Anne and Andy welcome us to Paddock View, Copythorne on Friday 21st July and the THS runs until Sunday 30th. An excellent flat site in the New Forest National Park. The New Forest Show from Tuesday 25th until Thursday 27th is well worth a visit and is just a few miles away, the other side of Lyndhurst. Site fees are £10 pun. I understand that a fish and chip van might be calling in on Tuesday.
Our next meet is our THS at Wellington Country Park, Friday the 11th to Monday the 28th August. Site fees are £19 pun. Judy and Jacky are opening the site with occasional help from Kevin and Tony. Pack your dancing shoes because we welcome back our Bank Holiday Saturday Disco. So the marquee should be up which gives room to socialise whatever the weather.
Our Feast of Lanterns then takes place at Warren Wood Farm from the 8th to 10th September. A new site last year and pleased to say that the Dew Drop Inn is open and is only a picturesque walk through the woods. Theme for decorations on Saturday evening is ‘Nursery Rhymes’ so plenty of scope for your imagination. Food will be served after the judging. Site fees £11 pun.
We invite Aylesbury Vale DA to join us at Abingdon Vale Cricket Club from Wednesday 20th September to Sunday 1st October. Always a very well attended meet. A lovely historic town on the doorstep and next to the river Thames. Site fees are £12 pun.
Finally and as usual we sign off at Bridge Villa, Wallingford. 6th to the 8th October. Another historic town next to the Thames. Electric hook up is included in the site fees of £25 pun. Booking is essential as we are limited to 25 units. I will post again when I know the booking arrangements.
So much to look forward to so if you haven’t been out this year with the DA hopefully there is something here to tempt you?
Best regards

Welly over – next stop – Cookham!

Well our weekend at Wellington Country Park is over and was very successful. 25 units had a great weekend and big thanks to Graham and June for stewarding and arranging such amazing weather. Next year will be our 50th year at Welly and we are planning a special weekend, keep watching for more information!

This coming weekend we are at Cookham, not for the weekend but until Wednesday! If you have never liked leaving on Sunday with all the church traffic you dont need to. There is a new entrance as well so it’s all good. Our ‘Happy Hour’ will take place on Saturday at 3.30pm weather permitting. Cookham is a great place with interesting shops and restaurants and is next to the river Thames. Come and join us and Sue and Steve who are stewarding with us.
