[FULL] Hereford Early May Bank Holiday Rally

[Wilde Wanderer]

Hard Standing or Grass Pitch? I've found they have a habit of doing a blanket cancellation of grass pitches when the weather is bad at Drayton Manor.

Hard standing

Hello due to,the flooding on site and the fact I’m disabled with mobility issues please cancel my booking for the maymbank holiday also the food bookings. I’m sorry the rowing club and the members and Lee,and Phil etc have had to,reduce down to 25nvans but the mud would probably make me fall over which would be inconvenient for everyone!!!

 

[Trappers]

Hi Lee please take us off the list please hope you all have a nice time see you next time cheers Andy and Jenny

 

[Rapido9]

Hi Phil. It seems to make sense to reduce the numbers under the circumstances. Please cancel our booking & the food.
Thank you all so much for all your hard work.
Rapido9 4 nights & 2* fish & chips & two curries.

 

[Haaamster]

Were still coming, 5 nights with food.

 

[bevburman]

Please remove me from the Hereford Rugby club weekend I am going to Drayton Manor with Dave and Ian.
Thank you for all you do, see you sometime.
Have a good weekend.
Regards
Bev

Hereford Rowing Club May Day Rally
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Today, Lee and I had a conference call with Mel at the Rowing Club to see if the rally could go ahead. I would first like to explain the issues that we are facing. The big field is still very wet and waterlogged at the bottom. Half of the big field is fenced off as the Environment Agency works on flood defences for the houses. The Environment Agency was supposed to have vacated the site and returned it to its original state by mid-March, unfortunately it is still a works site. This means we may only have a quarter of the space on the big field if the bottom half is unusable. This left us with a tough decision about whether we should cancel the rally. We are not going to cancel the rally, but to be able to hold the rally, we have had to devise a plan. I know this plan will not be to everyone's liking, so after reading the plan, if you still wish to come, you will have to confirm you are happy to attend, and we will reserve a pitch for you. If you do not confirm you are coming and are happy with the plan, then you will not have a pitch and will be turned away if you arrive. We must know the exact number of vans and the van lengths to run the rally successfully.

The Plan:

1) We will reduce the pitch sizes to allow more vans to attend. There will be at least 3m between vans and, hopefully, 4m.
2) We will be using the rugby club for around 25 vans.
3) Pitches will be first come, first served.
4) You may not reserve pitches.
5) We have a 4x4 to tow van if necessary.
6) We cannot do anything about the mud or vans getting stuck. If you attend and then moan about it, it will be your last rally with us!
7) All members MUST confirm they are coming and tell us the length of their vans.
8) All members with mobility issues MUST tell us when they confirm they are attending so we know how many pitches are close to the building to reserve.

We understand that you may not be happy to attend this rally now, so please do let us know if you will not be attending.

This is what you need to do:

Please post in this thread stating that you still want to come, what day you will be arriving, and the length of your van.

We are starting a new confirmed list, and your name will appear on there.


Phil
