Some of you may know that we are installed at a campsite in Cornwall for the summer working as wardens and think it would be a great location for a 'meet'.

Sometime in September is the plan but flexible on which actual dates so suggestions welcome!

The campsite is located just south of St Austell and is by the sea (10 minute walk downhill), has an outdoor heated pool, shop/cafe, nearby pub (1 mile away) and friendly staff

The campsite's slightly cheesey promo video

There's quite a few local attractions like the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Mevagissey and the Coastal Path is on the doorstep providing some lovely walking - see photos:







Some photos of the campsite









Pitches are mostly on firm grass with some hardstanding and the rates are pretty reasonable:



Seaview International

So, please respond if you are interested in attending a meet and your preferred dates and I'll see what can be arranged :thumbs:

If you haven't seen my blog about working here as wardens, catch up here:

Campsite Wardens

Campsite Wardens - Busy, busy, busy!

Campsite Wardens - One week in......

Campsite Wardens - So what does the work entail?
apple crumble and custard sounds good
Probably be in between motorhomes at that time,but only a short drive from weston for a day-trip ?

Neil

We would have loved to but are going to be at Oktoberfest in Munich. Somehow we have ended up working on a campsite again this year, but it's only until mid-August to help out. Good to hear you're still enjoying it.

Hi you two!

Sorry you can't make it but enjoy the Fest! :thumbs:

BTW There was an Oktoberfest held near to the 'Taste of Spain' location - strangely it was in March! :dry:

Hi Neil - yes we would be interested but only have a 'window' between 23-27th Sept.

We are in Cornwall (Crantock) 6-13th Sept staying in a cottage so may pop over to have a look at the site as it looks lovely & a possible venue for us next year.

Looking good for us to make it at the end of Sept. We should get back from Germany on 20th so can make our way over to the Taste of Cornwall. Hung back from suggesting a date to suit us as did not want the date hung round our arrangements.
Be great to catch up with old friends and maybe make new ones.

OK, I've confirmed the dates (23rd - 27th Sept 2013) with the campsite Seaview International

And, I'm pleased to say that they have agreed to a 10% discount on bookings for this meet :thumbs:

All attendees need to make their own booking via the campsite's website or by phone to Sarah on 01726 843425 and please do mention Club Motorhome so that your discount is applied.

I'll keep a running list of attendees in the first post of this topic - so if you book without posting your intention on the forums please let me know so that I can add you to the list

Think Sarah may be in the office on her own today - so worth trying again by phone.

As for the website..... Definitely availability so ignore it :roll: There should be plenty of room for us at that time of the season's end :thumbs:

I'll suggest to Sarah that she gets the website sorted :whistle:

Hi Keith - I booked yesterday evening via the website - it said 'low availability' for the hardstanding but I had no problems booking.

Hope you are both well

Yes we are both well. Still waiting for an answer on when the new van will be here. Looking like we will still be using it in August and the intention is to call in at Cornwall on our way back home, so unless it arrives before we go I can see it being October before we get it.

Due to very unforeseen circumstances have had to cancel the trip to Seaview. Have emailed them with request for return of payment. Hope to meet up either at a static place or perhaps a rolling pub crawl.

With some regret, and following consultations with the attendees, that due to unforeseen changes at the campsite I have marked this meet as CANCELLED.

Thanks to all for your interest and support with this :thumbs:
