Rally Topsham Rugby Club 22 - 30 May 2023 (1 Viewer)

[L' Hobo]

Of all the rally sites we have visited, Topsham ranks with the best. Bus pass holders can jump on a bus to Exeter, Exmouth, Budliegh Salterton and explore the coastline at no expense. The bus stops right by the venue. Shops nearby.... far too many to list. Walk into Topsham, about 1/4 mile if that. Toilets and hot showers, what more could you ask.

For it not to clash with the Swaffham Bash perhaps?

 

[Emmit]

We should be able to support two Rallies at either side of England and more than 250miles apart.

 

[Shulahoover]

I'd like to come please but just for 4-5 nights as I live locally, is this possible? Thanks Sally

 

[Wombles]

Bump - for anyone who didn't spot this last night.

I agree but when rosalan asked, "what more could one ask for"? I replied on Post #31.

I would have liked to have supported both, at the moment, that's impossible, so I will visit & stay overnight at Topsham on the way back from my 10days in Dartmouth, just before travelling onto Norden Farm and Swaffham rallies.

 

[Polar bear]

Add us to the list please

 

[Dorwyn]

Please can you add us two too! Geoff and Carol. Different van, of course. All nights

Shirley and I have been invited by Derek and Mary to host the rally this year. Therefore we have great pleasure in inviting all subscribing Funsters to a Rally at Topsham Rugby Club, Topsham, nr Exeter.

Come the day of Booking all you have to do is post “I’d like to come” and, if you’re in the first 38 Funsters, you’re in.

This is in order to give every Funster the chance to see this and discuss the event with their mates

Bookings accepted from 1900 on 16 Jan 23

The Rugby Club have a Licensed Bar which we are hoping to use.
Bus Stop outside the door that will take you to Exeter, (and beyond) and in the other direction, Exmouth and even Sidmouth.
A railway station, again taking you to Exeter (and beyond) and Exmouth.
A network of cycle paths on both sides of the River Exe.
An Aldi within walking distance, <(½ mile)

This is but a small selection of, ‘Things to do’

Topsham, we understand, has 5 pubs and several eateries. Good walking country including a riverside walk to Exmouth.
Topsham Quay Antique Centre, (A large wharf warehouse crammed with antiques. As seen on TV)
River cruises
Darts Farm Shop, (There are Farm Shops, and then there is Darts Farm.) Look it up.

The event starts at 12 noon on Monday 22nd May 2023 and finishes 11.00am on Tuesday 30th May 2023.

This is an eight night event. The RFC have increased their fees to £12.50 which we have rounded up to £13.00, to cover a social evening and incidentals. The cost of attending is therefore £104 per unit.
Bookings will be accepted from Funsters on back to back meets, pro rata.
Please note. There is no EHU where we are pitched, however, there are facilities to charge batteries on site.

Topsham is a very old, ‘quaint’ town sitting on the banks of the River Exe estuary.
Access; The Club has a gated entry which we will lock at night. (Pedestrian access is still allowed).

Toads. There is a separate tarmac Car Park for these.

Dogs; Dogs will be allowed, although prohibited on the actual Rugby pitches. They can be exercised around the margins and should be kept on leads at all times.

Generators; Generators are allowed. If you intend to use them please advise us when booking. You will be sited separately and they can only be used in “Social Hours”

Deposit. When you get on the List, I will send all attendees a Conversation advising as to where the £10.00 deposit should be sent and asking for unit details.

FULL PAYMENT IS DUE ON (OR BEFORE) 1ST APRIL 2023

N.B. We appreciate that in a small number of cases there may be Funsters who have to cancel. The Final Payment will be repaid if that place is filled by someone on the Reserve List? Otherwise £10 will be forfeited and that money will go to Charity.
Gazebos (Pop up Quests) will be allowed.

An organised social evening is in the planning.
We will be having a raffle, again for the benefit of charity.

PLEASE NOTE

I should think you could do with more! Actually, we will need to shorten our stay, we're booked on Eurotunnel and need time to repack and stock up the van.

 

[Emmit]

I'm making an unashamed 'Bump' for this rally.

The venue at Topsham Rugby Club is first class. There are toilets and showers that we can use. There are bar facilities readily available as well as cafes, restaurants and pubs in the town itself which is interesting in its own right.

Transport facilities are first class having bus and train services to the resort of Exmouth and the city of Exeter. There are deals to be had to even have a boat cruise to Exmouth and catch a train back.

There is the mother of farm shops nearby, (within walking distance) at Darts Farm. Where else can you buy a baking potato and a rayburn oven to bake it in? You can at Darts Farm.

You are assured of a warm welcome, especially if you've not been on a Fun Rally before.

Contact petenshirley to get your name down.

 

[Emmit]
