Rally Easter at Avon Bank Meadows, Wyre Piddle, Pershore, 4th April - 11th April 2023 (1 Viewer)

[lunarman]

Thank you Emmit I was unsure how many cancellations there would be - we had considered The Rally at Quackers place at Old Sodbury but we really wanted adult only. I will message RiverbankAnnie and see what it’s all about. Lovely to speak to you and hopefully we will meet up soon. best regards Jackie and Steven.

I can assure you that on a fun rally the adults are far more unruley than any children that may attend.

 

[MikenPauline]

Can we be considered please - any nights you have.
Many thanks Jackie and Steve
(hope I’ve done this right - we are newbies and I really haven’t much practice)

The rally at Quackers will be our first rally so if you decide to go we can be newbie’s together

 

[Emmit]

We stayed at quakers last year, it is a fantastic site, and the owners are fantastic. A little way out, but would go there again (but not this Easter, as at Avon bank!)

Was it the Site, or the Owners who were, "A little way out."

To save disrupting Emmit ’s rally thread any further, I will message you.

No disruption worries Annie.

We have a Conversation for the attendees.

 

[Emmit]

Good Morning,

For those Funsters who have never been to Avon Bank, I reproduce, (by kind permission of Grumps 147)
a guide to getting into Wyre Piddle. It is necessary to follow this route because, at the Eastern end of the
village, a bridge over the railway line is deemed not strong enough to carry traffic.

For those of you who are approaching the village from Pershore, you will be coming up to the roundabout
timed at 1 min 20secs. from the right.

I would add that, when approaching the medieval cross in the centre of the village, there will be a small
Motorhome Home sign on a post when approaching.

Further, at 4mins 10 secs, you see our glamorous assistants beckoning you into their lair. This vid. was
produced before we altered the place of welcome.

We would appreciate you continuing on along the gravel road to where there is a conifer hedge on the right.
We will welcome you there and show you to your pitch.



Regards
Emmit

Good Morning All,

I have been in Conversation with the owners of Avon Bank.

The ground, following yet another night of downpour at Pershore, is not fit for use.
This is frustrating because, going forward, the weather at Pershore is
very good with the Sun forecast every day from now on and no sign of rain going forward.

Therefore, we have decided initially to postpone the Arrival Day for Avon Bank from
Tuesday 4th to Friday 7th April with an arrival time, as usual being 12.00noon.

A decision will be made on Tuesday/Wednesday as to whether, (no pun intended) the
field is fit for us to arrive.

Naturally we are disappointed to give you this news however, having spoken to Lisa,
we have negotiated that we can extend the end date of the Rally. I appreciate that this
may not fit into everyone's plans and, if as a result of the above information, you decide
not to attend the rally, arrangements will be made for the return of your monies.

Obviously there may be be monies to be returned as a result of this news. With your permission
I will deal with this after the decision has been made next Tuesday/Wednesday.

Regards

Derek

Hi Derek - so sorry to hear about the change of plans and the inconvenience when everyone has made preparations. If by any chance you have a spare pitch if only for a few days could we be considered to go on the cancellation reserve list please. We are totally flexible on times. thank you so much J&S

 

[Emmit]

Will do.......blub.....blub.......blub

Not good news Derek, was really looking forward to this too. We are only booked in for 6 nights so to only have 3 nights would be no good to us unfortunately. Thanks.

 

[gozomike]

The start delay will give me time to check my dive kit out.

 

[Emmit]

Bump.
Please see Post 128.

Was it just me that hesitated a bit when I saw this, given the date??????

But then I thought, no Mary would not let him do that to us.

You were definitely not alone Peter - but then I thought he couldn’t be that mean, and if he is, like you I thought he’d be too scared of Mary …

Never gave that a thought Peter.
Just to reinforce, THIS IS NOT A WIND UP!

I have to say I am surprised at the lack of response on here but hey! Ho!

Hi Derek,

Thanks for letting us know. Unfortunately we have decided to cancel.

Best regards

[Kannon Fodda]

This is not good. Now I'm going to have to do extra DIY instead.

Let's hope Friday will be OK and we can indeed stay on into the following week.

I have my fingers crossed. I am still hoping to join you on Friday, if the ground dries out enough.

Good Afternoon,

With regret, (you know what's coming!)

I have spoken with the owners at Avon Bank this morning and we have been
informed that the Rally Field, whilst in a better state than it was a few days ago,
is not fit to accept motor vehicles of any description.

The CL still has standing water on it and the Rally field is soft, getting worse
as one walks to the back from the river.

Therefore the Rally is cancelled.

I will add that I have attempted to find an alternative date for a rally at Avon Bank, but,
such is the popularity of the venue, we couldn't be accommodated.


Thank you for your support going forward and your understanding regarding this situation.

Kindest Regards

The Emmits, Derek and Mary

 

[Riverbankannie]

So sorry everyone - especially Emmit as I know what it takes to be responsible for organising. There is room at Quackers should it suit anyone .
