As last year, she would like one centralised booking, so please can you reserve your spot through me.
Reservations made by paying a deposit of 1 night’s accommodation – and then I’ll collect balances IN CASH PLEASE during the meet
£10 pppn camping
£5 per child 4-12 per night
£2 per dog per night
£25 per campervan per night (inc up to 2 adults)
Please can you send deposits to me (1 night as above) letting me know YOUR NAME, planned number of nights and arrival departure days.
