Rally Shrewsbury, messing about on the river 2-7 July

Hi Martin, we have paid Jan for 5 nights from the 2nd inc EHU. Many thanks.
👍 I have the list from Jan so I don’t need confirmation from everyone but thanks anyway, long time no see it will be good to catch up.
 
Hi Martin.
We would love to come as usual, but we have to find a replacement Cat Sitter which is proving to be problematic at present, thinking about all options
It might be fairer at this point to take us off the list of attendees and give the chance to anyone that can attend on the given dates.
Fingers crossed we may have something sorted nearer the time, so will have to take our chances then.
Many thanks.

Up to 6 nights on the show ground at Shrewsbury.

Being next to the River Severn it would be rude not to take canoes and have a little mess about on/in the river, if there are enough takers we could organise a river trip again in hired Canadien Canoes, other than that it is just a social gathering with a pleasant riverside walk into a beautiful town, the show ground also have the fishing rights but I know nothing about fishing seasons etc and keep your hooks away from my inflatable ;)

We have had a rally here previously to coincide with the Family vintage show but sadly this has been cancelled again for this year, we have provisionally booked space for 30-40 vans but they are usually quite flexible with space.

Electric hook up will be available so please just for starters indicate that you are interested in attending and yes/no to electric, I will then post the per night cost and booking details at a later date, also indicate if you are bringing some sort of canoe/kayak and wether you would be interested in a organised trip in hire canoes, no previous experience is required for the canoe trip.

If any groups want to pitch together and do their own activities knitting and nattering, crotchet and nattering or just nattering that will be fine just say, it's your rally so do whatever you want(y) within reason and in the spirit of Fun.

Obviously all of the above depends on the prevailing Covid-19 rules and regulation at the time so things could change.
Please could we be added to your list, for 6 nights with Ehu,
 
All paid arriving 1st I think! doh I was doing something when Jan rang

I have added you to the reserve list but then CLOSED it after you as we have more than enough people already and I am not good at saying NO :giggle:

funflair Martin, Jan got my booking wrong, we are arriving on the 1st and leaving on the 7th. Don’t worry, any problems and I will sort it with Jan when I arrive. (y)

OK I know you will sort it ;) there was some comment on the spread sheet that I didn't understand but it looks like she has charged for 6 nights.

Bring the cat with you, but not much meat on them for BBQ. :LOL:
 
Bring the cat with you. We take our cat if we all go away.
The idea of taking Bobby with us would be ideal, but he would shred the vans upholstery to pieces as he hates being restricted or not being able to go where he wants to.
He has wrecked our home carpets when he has got himself shut behind a door from the hallway, and to to wake you up at some ungodly hour he will start to claw at the end of the bed. Thats why he is restricted to the kitchen overnight these days, unless we miss him sneaking upstairs that is, he can move like lightning.
We are always envious of those that have placid cats that are happy to sit all day in, or under the van, Bobby would be in the next town unless leashed, and I wouldn't want to even try putting a collar on him, giving worming tablets requires gauntlets or a visit to A&E.

TinaL is buying a shoulder harness this week, to try and break him in so to speak, that will be a laugh.:rofl:

That’s right Martin, last time we were there we came away a day early so I was a night in credit, Jan agreed to add it to my next stay at Shrewsbury so I am arriving on the 1st.

Our cat Shankly is a house cat but he will go out with a harness on and is happy in the car or Motorhome as long as we are with him. He is 14 so we couldn’t leave him with anyone, this is about as active as he gets.

Hi Funflair.
Is there still space for this rally?
I have closed the reserve list as we are already well over the numbers I really wanted and most people have now confirmed their bookings so the chances of me opening the reserve list again are non existent SORRY
 
  1. @Grummyb
  2. @Antique
  3. @highwayman getting wet? Yes
  4. @WESTY66
  5. @125BEER
  6. @s20hymer
Right you lucky 6 as quoted above are the last ones to get in so it's time to make your booking with Jan at the showground, she is only in the office Wednesday/Thursday so the best way is to send an email to Jan manager@westmidshowground.com and she will call you back to take payment,

If you use this template in your email it will help Jan get everything onto her spreadsheet,

Cost is £12per night or £17 with electric
