    Welcome to the forum PBad! Hope you enjoy your retirement and discover lots of new places and people with your van. Have a look in the membership section if you want to discover local centres and rallies. smile

    Hello and welcome

    Just a quick tip ,with the pandemic still giving problems ,many more people are having staycations ,and it seems many are now suddenly realising what the UK has to offer ,making sites much busier  than in the past ,   if you are wanting to tour in the UK book early as popularity of some areas and sites can mean it is difficult to put a tour together if expecting pitches to be avaliable

    We booked a tour last year at this time, but a problem arose later which made it problematic altering ,with almost full sites with only odd days available,

    Ps if you are going to book ,if not yet advised ,a deposit system is to be introduced? In April this year? 

    Up until then the USP of this club ,that allows bookings without deposits and up to a year in advance is still in operation,

    Welcome PBad. Are you plans for travel just in the UK or are you thinking further afield. Now you are retired the possibilities of European travel out of peak season opens up and the ACSI scheme should be on your radar. Have a look on the net.

    Thank you all for your responses and welcomes,

    JVB66 - I will certainly start looking to book early starting today!

    Colin - we have not considered European touring but will take a look to see if its an option for us.

    Brue - I have been on the south Wales centre website, their programme for 2022 is still in draft as currently in wales there are restrictions in place for covid that limits the number of people so rallies for the moment are suspended until the restrictions are lifted in wales.

    I have been on other centre sites and we will be booking some rallies  - again the advice to book early has been taken onboard.!

    Thanks guys

    Peter
