Fishing and Shopping weekend (1 Viewer)

[C.L.S]

We are planning a fun weekend incorporating a fishing competition.
Campsite : http://www.hoar-park.co.uk/
Date : 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th September
Fishing venue : Link Removed


The weekend is being organised by C.L.S and DMS , briefly Hoar park has something for everyone including ,craft shops , resturant/bar , childrens farm and playground , garden centre ...etc Located between Nuneaton and Birmingham set in fantastic countryside. Opposite the site on a Sunday is one of the largest carboot sales in the Midlands (weather permitting.

Fishing is not compulsary , plenty of other things to see and do.......

The campsite has a few hardstandings should the weather not be kind , fresh water and Elsan point (no hookups) plenty of room for everyone.

There are 2 lakes approximately 1.5 Acres and 3/4 Acre, both are stocked with a mixture of course fish including Carp to 21lb, Tench, Roach, Bream,Gudgeon and Rudd.
The Lakes are set amongst some stunning rolling countryside with 360 degree views of fields and forest. Depending on numbers we can have bothg lakes for the competition. Shay who runs the fishery has now got his certificate / badge to coach fishing so if anyone wants a lesson this can be arranged (Not you Alan (DMS) ) Refreshments , breakfasts can be delivered to your peg if required. Shay will oversee the competition and will weigh all fish and catches.



Thursday 16th : For those who want to arrive early (may be to practise fishing ) opens 1.00pm

Friday 17th : We have the Barn booked for the weekend , Friday night is Quiz night (with a twist) , bring your own refreshments and nibbles , the weather can,t spoil our FUN

Saturday 18th : Fishing competition between 10.00am and 3.00pm . For those not fishing and who fancy some retail therapy , Direct Taxis ( Link Removed) can arrange a minibus to Birmingham or Coventry for a shopping expedition ( Price dependant on numbers )

Saturday evening we have a Race night , Race nights give you all the excitement of the races without losing all your money . You are able to bet on a race from the comfort of your own seat , we will also be having an American type supper .

Sunday 19th : Massive carboot opposite campsite for bargains galore

No doubt we will come up with more ideas before the weekend arrives

Pitch £7.50 per night incl. use of the Barn and entertainment

Fishing £5.00 per peg

CLS (mark)..
i won't tell anyone that you are currently taking a course of lessons!!! honestly
i might just have to sit this match out to give you a chance......
Alan

OH and for anyone who was at the last match.. ROBBIE is BANNED !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[haganap]

Oh what a shame, I love supporting meets and this one sounds like it will be great, in fact if its half as good as the last fishing meet or the Robbie meet as its now known it will be a blast.
However, its the weekend of the Bath comedy walk and we are down to attend and I promised JJ I would heckle him

 

[C.L.S]

Thats a shame Paul , I have seen you fish and DMS could have had some competition

Unfortunatly it was the only weekend that the barn was available , with the great British weather we thought it was a must to have an undercover venue

Check out the link on the home page - not up to date yet but I'm sure mark will do it soon. :thumb:

How about it Robert? Can you make it now?

 

[Jim]

Hey guys, I have just noticed that this meet is being advertised on other motorhome forums as an informal meet. Is this on a site or a rally field?

If this is happening anywhere other than on a licensed site where individuals enter into a contract with the landowner then an exemption will be needed by the landowner. If you need one, who's exemption are you planning to use? Unfortunately our exemption (like every other) expressly forbids rallies with other clubs unless they have affiliation to each other written into their constitution.

More than one club together negates the exemption and my insurance. Our rally insurance is tied to the exemption and valid only for motorhomefun subscribers.

Can someone let me know exactly what is happening with this one. Cheers

[Wildman]

I read here of more future problems, does this mean only subscribers can attend rallies and shows? How will potential members get to know us.

 

[Jim]

More problems???

Rally insurance premiums are based upon the number of rallying members in a club. I could not afford the 13000 member option so opted for the smaller subscriber group.:Cool: Only subscribers can attend rallies where our exemption is being used.

Shows and meets on caravan sites do not use the exemption, that said, only subscribers can post in the Rallies forums so unless you are a subscriber you cannot book on a rally.

How about it Robert? Can you make it now?

Yes I can now make the new dates so put me down as attending.

Robert.
