Your touring holiday memories
We need your help with a Club Matters article to be featured in the August magazine. We want to hear from our members about your touring holiday memories.
Have stayed on the same Club or CL Site over a period of time, for example, is there a site you stayed on years ago that you have regularly returned to? How has it changed over the years, who did you first visit the site with and who do you visit the site with now? We’d love a short account of your holiday experiences and if you have any pictures to share that would be amazing too.

Sorry still unable to get to send pictures on anything, But OH and i have been useing Ferry Meadows since the early 1980s, when the now main site was the summer overflow site being just a "field" with just a portacabin in the corner for toilets,it has been our get away site since,and when working,would take caravan to site on a Thursday and commute from Peterborough to London on the Friday have a P.O.E.T.S day and back to site for the W/end normally leaving with Wardens Blessing about 1600 on the Sunday ,to get caravan back in storage at Commons Wood site.
We have had some great times at Ferry with friends and family with the majority of wardens being "top notch"

We bought our first caravan in 1976 - the ubiquitous Sprite Alpine. 1976 is remembered for it's long hot summer, but being farmers we had to get away when we could - which was in May when it was still cold and windy. We picked New England Bay out of the handbook because of the seaside. Our two children (two and four) loved it.
It was a very basic caravan - two buckets under the van (one to soak nappies and one to keep milk cool - never to be confused).
We're still going back to New England Bay (almost every year for the last 20 years), but the caravan and technology has moved on. And so have we, but we still love the site and try to always pitch in the same area as in 1976.
We still like to paddle in the sea and sit outside.
The photos are from 1976, and 2015

We first visited St Agnes Beacon site possibly in 1964 or 5 which I believe was the year it first opened. This was or main family Holiday with my Mum and Dad and brother. We visited again in 1969 there are a couple of pics, one from the Beacon and one on site of our Sprite Alpine bought new in 1964, towed by a Ford Corsair. Both myself and my brother have taken up the hobby and still visit St Agnes from time to time with our own families and latterly now our kids have flown my wife and I still visit as this site is still a gem.
