We've moved pitch.

Despite being told when I originally booked, and when I phoned again last week, that there was no pitches closer to the action, we've today managed to move to pitch 279 which will be much better given that I'm still on crutches.

Appreciate that it leaves a new funster, Tibs out on a limb, but there are other spaces nearer including 273, but you have to be persistent. Still didn't speak to Holly but did speak to a Ruth who was very helpful.

If it helps, I printed off a copy of Touring Field 2 plan and marked off the following as booked in the same area: Link Removed
229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236,,, 237, 238, 239,,,241
274, 275, 276,,, 278, 279, 280,

If you ring, ask specifically if any off the gaps marked ,,, or 273, 272, 228, 242, 281 up are free. It looks as though they have to key them all in separately to check as the system just offers the next available pitch.

Hi Teepee
Please can we take you up on your kind offer. When I booked I had the same response as Meanders, they said they had no pitches nearer so I took 319. But since then I have seen others book and get better pitches! :Doh: :cry:
As this is our first meet I didn't want to make a fuss and query it, but now I see Meanders has moved which will leave us out on a limb. So if you wouldn't mind seeing if we could be moved nearer to the fun we would appreciate it.
Thank you :Smile:
Steve and Jane

Hello Tibs. Your pitch has been changed from 319 to 242, I hope that suits you better. Unfortunately for you, your next to us. If you can cope with that we hope to see you there.
Teepee.

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. This year we are lucky with the tide times so no worries on this one.

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.

IF YOU ARE NEW TO FUN

We have some small funster badges and stickers for your motorhome

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

Lunch will be booked on Friday night/Saturday morning but have added you to the list Jacky. As for weather we have had everything from torrential rain to cold sunshine to snow. Whatever the weather we have always had a good time.

OMG Jaws we did 16 bottles of mulled wine last year some of which you kindly donated - I havent got a clue how many to buy this year hehehe.

It will be great fun I am sure. Just hoping we will all fit in the sink area !!!

Theres still plenty of time to book folks if you want to join us

We'll be there, pitch no. 244.
It will be our second trip away motorhoming...can't wait for a peaceful week-end away...no dogs barking...no kids shouting...no loud music. Cos we like to be tucked up in bed with a cup of cocoa and a book by 8 o clock!! and looking out over a tranquil panoramic view across the campsite.
Ooops! Don't tell me we've got the wrong week-end??? :RollEyes:

See you there!
