    I've never been on a CCC site before,  do they allocate pitches or is it just a case of turn up and find your own like the caravan club does and do they give any extra help for little groups like us organising pitches in the same area?  I'm due at Malvern
    on 30th Aprill.  I was in the area and it seemed daft to come all the way back home for just three days so I booked in at the Malvern site from the 30th..

    Peter.  The C&CC allocate pitches.  If you let them know in advance that you are a group they try to put you near each other. Have a great time. See you in Wales.

    Peter, like Meg said, they allocate pitches. Last New Year we arrived and they put us togther as there was just the 3 of us, however, Solos is designed so you can park where you want! Someone may say toilets near is essential, other a grass pitch or dog walk near, this is why we do not group book, everyone books independently!

    I will be posting my pitch number on the thread for break away, so people willknow where to find me rather than Solos sign hunting!

    I know Sandie will be on the CC site, myself and Carolyn are with you on the C&CC site, I am not sure about the others, but the sites are right next door to each other, we share the same enterance road!

    The packing has started, two weeks to the 'off'. I must remember to pack my Friday ticket to the show.

    I have google earthed the area, there appears to be a butchers and a post office/ general stores at the pond area in Hanley Swan, I would say a supermarket at Malvern??  

    As soon as I know my pitch number in the C&CC site I will let you all know!

     

    { Please  forgive  my  intrusion  }

    You  are  quite  correct  Viv,  the  shops  you  mention  are  on  diagonally  opposite  corners  of  the  cross roads.  The  pond  has  willow  trees,  ducks  &  a  couple  or  so  benches  where  you  can  rest  whilst  eating  your  icecreams !  If  my 
    memory  serves  me  well,  its  about  half  to  three quarters  of  a  mile  but  there  is  a  bus stop  right  by  the  entrance  to  the  site  .  There  was  also   caravan  accessory  store  not  too  far  away (  with  details  in  the  C C  info  room.)

    Thanks to Pauline (and others who have also volunteered their services) between us we should be able to keep Solos on CT up to date for Vivien, I was very late home today and couldn't access via my phone during the day. But a team is now in place Laughing

    Not a solo but so nice to see others stepping in to keep it going while the problems are sorted.

    If no one else is around I will certainly be there to help if you need it.  I'm going to the Malvern site today,  though which site are you on.  I assume that as you say arriving at 1 it will be the C&CC site and that is the one I'm off to this morning. 
    See you soon.   Peter.

    So far just me, Carolyn, Rosies(Jane) and Vivien turned up such a shame 'cos the weather here is terrific. Wall to wall blue sky and a big shiny thing floating around in the middle of it.  Trouble is with the RHS show on down the road I understand that both the
    C&CC and next door CC sites are  fully booked from tomorrow. .

    Terrific show  must come again though next time I'll leave my credit card at home so that I can't spent more than I intend to.  Still beautiful weather.
