Site Plan
Accommodation
Club camping on the rally field on Friday, Saturday & Sunday will be at the club subsidised rates as indicated on the entry form: any additional nights will be at the standard Mains Farm fee, payable to them.
If you wish to go onto their regular camp site and have electric hookup or hire a camping pod, book directly with Robert & Julie at Mains Farm by phone or on their website edenvalleycaravansite.co.uk/
** The rules & regulations of the campsite and meet include keeping dogs on a lead whilst on the camping field or take-off field. Any on-site damage is to be reported to the meet organiser. Please also clear up after your dog as required.
The Club regrets that, due to unacceptable lack of control of and cleaning up after some animals at previous meets, any non-compliance with these perfectly reasonable conditions will result in a person or persons initially being warned and subsequently asked to leave the event. Exclusion of the person(s) from future Club meets is likely.
Socials / Entertainments
Please feel free to bring a chair and knock on a caravan/tent where you see or hear a social gathering.
