Greetings All,

We would like to inform all Funsters that we have secured availability at Avon Bank Meadows, Wyre Piddle, Worcs. for Easter 2020.

It will be a 'Free and Easy' ie. there are no special events taking place.(As yet?)
We appreciate that the 'Pershore Plum Festival' Rally is very popular and attendees commented that they wouldn't mind having another rally at this superb location so, it's been logged into the Avon Bank's diary.
We will not be taking bookings until after the middle of November but wanted you to know now for your planning purposes.
Price will be no more, (for that, read less) than the price per night set for this years 'Plum' event. ie £12 to incl. EHU.

There are a couple of slight alterations to the receiving of names wishing to attend this Rally. I am slightly ahead of the owners of Avon Bank on this but it is more than likely going to be in place for 2020.

This rally will be 'ADULTS ONLY' This is in no way any reflection on the little girl who attended the Plum Rally. She was a delight, and, at 4yrs old she was closely watched the whole time she was there but, how can I say this, should anything happen, (and the river is 17ft deep at the campsite), I would never forgive myself if that 'Something' occurred.
There is every likelihood that Avon Bank will go Adults Only for next year in any case.
The above does not prevent visitors to Funsters already on the field.

For this, and any subsequent rally, I will not be accepting 'Third Party' bookings. I had an embarrassing conversation with a Funster as a result of this prior to the Plum and I'm not going to repeat the procedure.
Might I suggest that if you want a mate to come, make an arrangement to be contacted between yourselves.
I appreciate that the above may seem dictatorial but it's not intended that way. I'm just trying to be fair to everyone who wants to come. It's not like it's a huge field and for this one, I'm keeping the figures under the number we had at Plum.

I couldnt make it to the Pershore Plum festival so would be interested in this one. The photos on the Pershore thread look lovely.

Yes put us on the wait list please Derek.

Im sure the atmosphere and weather at Easter won't be as good as the PPF.

One other factor to consider at Easter is the level of the River Avon.

Wyre Mill Club is a C&CC certified site (CS) and is about 1/2 a mile further up the road which is a dead end for traffic, and a tad closer to walk to Pershore.

I would be more interested in whether the site and surrounding fields are flooded rather than maggot drowning.
Yes, I understand that. I live in Tewkesbury which floods more than most places so am well versed in the problems caused by floods. I just thought that as some of the photos on here of the happy campers showed that they enjoyed fishing in the river that may be a fact of interest.

This is a view from my bedroom window in 2007.

You have the Severn to contend with at Tewkesbury as well as the Avon. Problem with the Severn is, lots of rain in Wales one day, problems downstream the next.

I'll bet your annual conversation with the Insurers is 'interesting'
