I'd have liked to attend of of these - never been to one before. However ....

£130 for me seems a bit strong, but £45 for my three whippets is a right rip-off!

They don't swim, fish or play golf, and their table tennis is abysmal! I see that they have an exercise area - well they'll thank me for that!

I accept that the costs may well be "the norm" - as I say, I have never been to a holiday camping site so have no idea what they charge. Apologies if I come across as a stingy, whinging old git - but I am

Dont know where you get £130 from unless you are staying for the whole week. It was £30 last year and I will post the details by Tuesday so that you have all the facts to make an informed decision. Hope this helps

Details of End of Season Finale

MOTORHOMES - TENTING TOURING PITCHES

For motorhomes Friday to Sunday the charge is £32 plus £2 per night per dog and includes electric hook up. This is for a maximum of 2 adults and 2 children.

As usual pitches will be allocated and those on pitches surrounding the car park have the option to park on the car park or the road area near your pitch. This covers us in case of severely wet weather.

Here is a link to the pitches
Link Removed

We will be on pitch 235.

For motorhomers Fishing for adults is £5.50 per day for 1 rod or £10 for 2 rods. Golf driving range is £2.50 for one bucket of balls or 5 buckets for £10. Pitch and Putt (open weather permitting) is £2.50 per person and Golf Clubs can be hired.

IF YOU DONT HAVE A MOTORHOME - STATIC RENTAL

If you wish to stay in their static the charge is £130 as it is an activity weekend. There is an extra charge of £15 per dog. Waldegraves have agreed if Funsters are staying in a static they will charge for one dog only. You can always get other funsters or friends to stay with you and share the costs.

An activity weekend for those staying in statics means you get free fishing and free use of the golf facilities for everyone staying in the same unit.

If you need a key to the barrier it is a £10 refundable deposit.

We again have use of the undercover sink area to meet and barbeque.

HOW TO BOOK

Telephone waldegraves direct on 01206 382898 please ask for Holly and give her your motorhome fun username as well as the usual details.

When you have booked please let us know on this thread or through a private message how many Adults Children and Dogs, the booking surname and your pitch number thanks.

OUR PLAN

Friday evening Welcome. Come and meet your fellow funsters. We will have some hot drinks including mulled wine early evening usually some time between 5.30pm and 7pm dependent on arrival times and we will be barbequeing in the undercover area. You are welcome to bring along food to cook. After that there is either the clubhouse for entertainment or the main restaurant/bar to chilll and play pool. The choice is yours.

Saturday evening is the End of Season Finale - Fancy Dress optional but we do hope you will join in. We will meet late afternoon in the undercover area and the barbeque will be going again. There will be some mulled wine but please bring some drinks and nibbles as the food served by Waldegraves isnt usually served until about 8.30pm-9pm.

Each meet so far has been different and we dont have plans set in stone. We try to tell everyone what is going on and it is then up to you. There is no pressure to join in.

Sunday lunchtime/afternoon. You are welcome to join us for a Sunday Roast and/or meal in the restaurant. The food is good quality, good portions and we feel good value for money. Please let us know in advance.

We need to be off pitch by 3pm.

TIDE TABLES - IMPORTANT

To access & leave Mersea Island you will need to drive across the causeway which is a road that is covered at times by high tide. We will post the high tide details nearer the time, but please try to avoid high tide so you dont get caught in the traffic.

DONT FORGET

Fun badges if you have them
Warm clothes and wellies
Alcohol if you drink it
Fancy Dress costume if you are game for a laugh
Donations of mulled wine/drinks/food/snacks to share appreciated.

We look forward to meeting funsters new and old and hope you have an enjoyable time.

 

[veevee]

We too would like to come to the Saturday afternoon/evening meet but MH will be in France and we will be staying in either Clacton or Rayleigh so don't need any accomodation, is this possible?

We haven't managed a meet yet as we tend always to be elsewhere, so keen to get to one so close when we know we will be around.

VeeVee. This has been arranged for you. You have a private message.

 

[knokinonabit]

Just had a look on the tides4fishing.com site and high tides at Clacton (nearest I could find) on Friday the 23 Nov are 07.30 and 20.10, so try and arrive mid to late afternoon is looking good. :thumb:

Sunday 25 Nov high tides are 09.30 and 22.00 so leaving shouldn't be a problem either . Unless you have to leave early doors, of course.

 

[Jaws]

Hi Jaws,

It's 1 for the operator, not 0.

I have already booked and I am on pitch 238, sorry.
If it causes a problem we can swap on the day.

 

[Jaws]

No worries mate.

I just kept trying and suddenly it was answered
She said 138 was gone so we booked 233 and 234 :thumb:

Thanks for your help too gale and sorry I read your PM after I booked :-(

 

[veevee]

We're really pleased to be going to Waldegraves, just not sure who we are rooming with???
