THANKYOU so much Lorraine!!

We had a lovely weekend with you, alan & George. Not to mention your mum and eric. It was lovely to meet you all. ( can't believe we live 10 minutes ride away but met at a campsite!)
Thankyou so much for your generous hospitality especially on Friday night, we really enjoyed yourselves.
We will have to meet up again soon and you're right we will definately be back to naburn lock, it's a beautiful site.
We've all had a lovely weekend.
Hope you had a good trip home (we're setting off today) and well done for towing the caravan!!!!!

Thanks for the compliment on the van but yours is absolutely beautiful too (and your bed looked tidy!)   

Judy, well be like passing ships when we go to France. I would have loved to have met you after all the advice you've given me, maybe next year we'll meet each other there.
Ashwell girl our caravans are almost twins so will have to have a get togther too! My gloria and your honey will get along famously!

I have "friends" on here who I've never met in person but keep asking us to go on a meet and up to now didn't really think that wasn't really for us but now i might have another think!

I too have thought it would be good to meet up with some of the folk who post on here.  Perhaps we ought to send for a free sticker/pennant to put in the front of our vans/ car so that we will recognize each other when we are on site.  I'm guilty at present, because I do not have a sticker - but I always look to see if their are vans with the UKCS sticker.  So far I haven't spotted one, so perhaps there are other guilty people out there.  I will send for mine this week (you need to send a stamped addressed envelope - see the 'Shop' section for more details).

Of all the sites I've been to since I joined UKCS I've never seen a sticker or a flag yet - I could very well have been pitched next to other members but not known about it. So come on everyone, make yourselves known, and if I spot you I'll come and say hello - it would be nice to meet other members who happened to be on the same site.

Have a look at the meeting up section on here, there's loads being organised in every area, I didnt fancy it at first, I was unsure what to expect and having 3 dogs I thought we'd find it hard to join in, I imagined it to be regimented with set times to do stuff and possibly cliquey.

How wrong  I was.

We went on our first UKCS meet last year and had a fantastic time, I was quite nervous about meeting people for the first time but everyone is there for the same reason and they were all so friendly, I'm not sure what goes on at every meet but this one was just a get together, no frills, for like minded people and we loved it, the dogs had a fab time too.

I was looking forward to meeting you as well.

I am starting to look at next years summer holiday dates     We normally go soon as the lads finish school / college, but thinking of going a week later.

we've only ever seen 1 UKCampsite sticker about 3 years ago at Cliff Top in Atwick, even went up to the couple and had a bit of chat with them but they didn't really post just used the site to obtain information.

I always look at the meets but none of them are ever where i want to go When i want to go lol.  I'm sure there will be at some point.  Agree that we do need to get the UKCS stickers but i thought you had to buy something 1st to get the free penant to stick in your window and there's really nothing i want to buy from it? 

Agree that Honey and Gloria would look really good together lol. 

Next year i want to go back to Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire/Peak District for May Half Term and then we are going to tour Scotland the 1st 2 weeks of August anyone else got the same plans lol?

last year we went to the Lincoln show and camped in the UKCC allocated area, to be honest there were very few of us, but we had a lovely time, and the show was brilliant. I think you can also buy a flag ???

We could have a Gloria, Honey, and our Cassandra !!! hehe sounds like a TV programme....Sex and the city caravans !!!!

Well we're home! Even though neither us or the kids wanted to.
In theory we can't go away next weekend as Adams working on the Saturday and there's no way I would attempt to tow the caravan, so we've left the caravan at naburn so I can take the kids through on my own on Friday and Adam will come through after work Saturday to spend the night with us.

I'm really nervous just having to go and even turn the switches on and do the water etc!! The sleeping on our own doesn't bother me, I think I'll even just get in the bottom bunk, it'll save making up the bed for just me. Unless kids decide we can all get in the big bed instead.


I'm going to look for the stickers on here, I've been meaning to get one for a while. I've only been a member since 2004!!

Crikey judy, your more organised than me!!..... Next years dates. Well you never know we could end up with the same dates.
ashwellgirl, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire isn't too far from me so acessible for a weekend so might well see you soon.

Woggle......OMG, I think we watched you go yesterday! My OH told me to come look at a caravan leaving, it was one of his favourites, a super sirocco. I bet that was you! Did you have a black L200?
Just wondering if you had small children too?I was in the shower and could here people talking in the block with an accent like my friends from Sunderland.
Small world!!!

What an excellent idea Claire never thought about leaving it on site, bet its cheaper through the week too, would have done the same thing as Alan is working as well, i love super sirocco's they are beautiful vans, isnt it a small world when we all get talking on here, Claire have you seen my posting on the awning fiasco ???? just think you only have 3 days to work and you are off back again, i am soooo jealous xxxx
