Since 2016, caravans before that, folding Caravan, tents before that
If anyone needs a taxi - a licensed Hackney carriage firm is Othello taxis (recommended by Touring Park) 01789 336 226. Another option used by Funsters is A To B Taxis on 01789 293 333 . They should be able to pick up & drop off in/near the rally field.
Well I’m totally unimpressed with both these companies and the other one I tried. I could understand them being busy and might have to wait a bit, but these 3 would not even take a booking for later. Lesson learned - taking toad to all future events.

At least they was honest and not just took your booking and leave you waiting somewhere.

True, but not everyone can walk long distances and when there’s no bus service, taxis are the only option. Not taking bookings is not very professional

Two keys have been handed in to Derek and Mary's Van (Emmitdb)
The two keys are separated by a split ring and operate a German Security system.

Please check with your neighbours to see if their 'van has such a system.
It may be that the keys have been laid there from before we arrived but I doubt it.
Found between Rows 2 and 3 Close to the Stewards Vans.

Regards

For the info and thanks to all those attendees at Stratford River Festival who donated and bought at our table of books, sold for the Charity, Prostate Cancer UK.
We also had a Motorhome Fun Teddy donated (Thanks @Jim) that was auctioned and won by @ksaeraenn
All in all the total amount of money going to the charity is.......... £70.65!!!

PS. We have been donated a Ford Transit Mk6 Interior screen insulated cover that will swell the fund even more.
Once again, Thank you

I think @Wombles are amazing and should get some kind of a reward - 5 years free membership @Jim? They have organised (extremely well) so many successful and enjoyable meets beyond the call of duty, and several more to come yet this year. Well done and thanks Karen and Alan - I am in awe!!

Just arrived back home and want to say a huge thank you to Karen, Alan and everyone involved for making us newbies feel so welcome. It was our first rally and will definitely be the start of many more, we met so many nice genuine people and can’t wait until the next one ( Lymington ). Thanks again for all your hard work organising it and to the fantastic marshals which made the weekend go so smoothly
