I am planning several rallies with the C&CC this year.
You need to be a member (approx £38 for the year) but it gives you access to lots of cheap camping opportunities - average cost is just £6 per unit per night!

Hi Wendy, we still not got the tent yet, tent shopping this weekend whoopie! but yep would be great to meet up sometime we hope to be sorted with gear as the weather is getting better now.

Cheers Linda

OOHHHH tent shopping - lucky you!

Do you know which tent you're going to buy or are you going on a tent hunt?

We are arranging a meet at Jasmine Park on 10-12 June which you would be more than welcome to attend.
Full details can be found on the Metting Up and Getting Together page under the North East Meets.
It just so happens that the Meet will coincide with Pickering's 60s weekend festival so should be good fun!!!!
