As a section of the Camping and Caravanning Club, all our camping events are open to Camping and Caravanning Club members (including Canoe-camping Club members) only. Anyone participating must be a member of the Camping and Caravanning Club before attending a meet.

Please remember to bring your Club membership cards to all club events, since we are required to check and record memberships are current.  We also need to record BRITISH CANOEING numbers for those who have them. Paddlers need to be a member of the Canoe-camping Club and/or one of Britain's paddlesport National Governing Bodies*.   These are needed to ensure that we are covered by the Club's and British Canoeing's insurance.
Canoeing and kayaking are ‘assumed risk’ ‘water contact’ activities, however serious accidents are very rare.
Participants should be aware of and accept these risks, and be responsible for their own action and involvement.
All participants in club trips or meets do so at their own risk, and neither the Club nor its officers can accept any liability for loss or injury of any kind sustained whilst on a Club trip, meet or other activity.

Calling all less experienced paddlers who want shorter trips and an opportunity to consolidate what they have learnt.

THE WEST COUNTRY GROUP invites you to join them for either SATURDAY or SUNDAY, or FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND

I have reserved some tent spaces for Friday 16th and Saturday 17th July.
(Last year we were able to leave our tents and gear until late Sunday and they had a site security person who kept an eye on them.)

Please let me know by Friday 11th July if you are coming so that I can confirm numbers with the campsite in good time, or so that, if you are day-tripping, you will know where to meet us and what time to be there.

 

If you wish to stay over Sunday night to visit Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust, or Berkeley Castle etc. there should be no problem. If you would like to visit the Wildfowl Trust please tell me when you book as I may be able to get some reduced price vouchers.)

Location The Gables Farm Caravan and Camping Site,
The price quoted is £8 per tent (1 or 2 people) and £1 for each extra person. There are toilets and showers available. There is no charge for day trips, but there may be a car park fee.
