    Ladies....really sorry but I have to pull out of this lunch. Something else that can't be avoided has cropped up.

    Have a great time though and hopefully see you at the next one!!

    Hello,  I would like to find out more about Solo Caravining !  

    So I am planning to attend the pub meeting in Chieveley.

    I've been towing my van about 18 months, quite happy, but sometimes it would be nice to meet others and share good ideas tackling caravan problems, or, putting up an awing on your own, (I can now do this !).

    Write your comments here...Hi Angela  and welcome to Solos .

     You are most welcome to come and join us at Chieveley ,  we are all in the same boat ,  or should that be caravan as we are all single people.  We are mainly widowed or divorced and I don't see why we shouldn't have friendship whilst away,  without having
    to join club's membership fees et cetera, this is why Solos works regardless of where you are and what you are doing

    Thanks Vivien I will be there. 

    I found out about Solos from CC who were at the Manchester Caravan Show last week, and a lovely lady said oh yes, there are many people who, for lots of reasons, are solo caravanners.

    Its a nice little pub that sells food etc, we will probably meet in the car park area if it's not cold or pouring with rain, if not, we will be inside. So far we are all ladies attending, so a group of ladies should be easy to find! Lol

    We will of course lookabout for any solos person entering the pub,hmust in case they are a lost Solo.

    See you on the 6th!

    Hi Angela, I met some of the solos at a meet for new year. Very friendly! And full of tons of useful advice! You'll soon make lots of friends and find lots of places to visit with lots of friendly people!!  I can't believe how great caravanning is! 

    Looking forward to seeing everyone for lunch :)

    by the way ... I'm Anita xxx

    Hi, I was going to treat myself and bring the caravan so I could stay overnight but I'm unsure how strong the winds are going to get up to?  The forcast says strong coastal winds.  Would I be ok travelling south on the A419 to Swindon?  Would appreciate
    your opinions :)

    Many thanks
