Blackmore Club site is ideal for Christmas shopping in nearby Malvern and fairly close to the beautiful city of Worcester.

The site has a very nice room on site and we had a wonderful week shopping, dog walking and socialising. The highlight was a Christmas meal together in nearby Malvern and our grateful thanks to Edith for organising that. Our thanks too to Lynne and Colin for organising the quizzes, entertainment in general and the Secret Santa!

Another pleasant meet at Wolverley. Witches and wizards wandering around in the evening. Fun and (spooky) Halloween games.

The weather was kind and the company great! Thanks to Lynne and Colin for stewarding and running the evening entertainment.

The Easter meet at Bakewell Showground proved to be very popular and most enjoyable we look forward to returning in 2024!

Many thanks to John and Anne for Stewarding this meet and to Lynne for managing the bookings. Meet report to follow shortly.

Another superb meet at Hereford. This time a week day meet and it was great to see so many campers attending.

Weather was really nice with a pleasant breeze. A great location near the city centre and alongside the river.

The Club House was open and all just perfect! Thanks to Colin and Lynne, assisted by Rob and Andrea for stewarding.

We look forward to returning in 2023!

2021 was the first time we used the club site for a winter meet in many years. It proved to be a great way of getting the full site facilities for meet prices and this was demonstrated by the number of campers who joined us.

The site itself is positioned in quiet surroundings with a bus route outside
that could take you to places such as Malvern or Worcester. It has a local shop and a pub not too far away so you can get supplies or a meal without too much bother. However, the difference being on a meet is that we had some entertainment in the hall on site.

This time the stewards John and Anne did a quiz that had us all in stitches with the answers.

The highlight of the meet was no doubt the Christmas meal organised by Edith, a lovely meal at the Bluebell Inn that was a couple of miles away, so she even laid on a coach to take us in style (and bring us back).
So, to summarise a great site with social camping and a fantastic meal what’s not to love!

I’m ready to book in for Christmas 2022.

Well, what a great time was had by all who came along. It was a free and easy holiday meet with a get together each evening if campers wished to. We had campers who had been before and many who hadn’t so it was a nice mix with people making new friends. There were community buses garaged on site which campers with prior arrangement were able to use, if they wished, to get to see some of the other villages in the Cotswolds and many did. We had a charging station on site for charging up mobile phones and electric buggies etc for a small donation which we are giving to the community buses to help support them. The weather certainly made for a very enjoyable time with plenty of sun and warmth ( we shouldn’t really say but sometimes a little too hot). We had many campers who, as they were leaving said they had had a great time in a lovely part of the country and they would be back again next year which is always nice to hear. Thanks to Steve, Helen and Edith for their help stewarding: their support was greatly appreciated.

In July we held a week day meet from Sunday 3rd to Friday 8th July at Rowsley, Peak Rail near Matlock.

Plenty to see and do! There was a bus stop right outside the entrance to our camping!!

Thanks to Tim and Muriel for being our stewards.

National Meet and AGM 2022

The Motor Caravan Section (MCS) 60th National Meet and AGM at the South of England Showground, Ardingly from 1st to 5th June which coincided with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations was an absolute delight! Well supported and enjoyed by everyone attending.

A street party, BBQ, Entertainment, dancing, singing and a trip to Brighton.

Roll on the next one in 2023! This is being organised by East Midlands Area of the Motor Caravan Section at Measham and promises to be another excellent event! We are looking forward to it.

The date for our diaries is Friday 26th May to Monday 29th May 2023.

A big thank you to all the organisers for doing a fabulous job !

Our return visit to the equestrian centre near Droitwich-Spa was well supported with units from various areas of the country.

The sun joined us for the first couple of days but the showers that followed didn’t stop the show.

The Canal festival was in full swing throughout the weekend and a good time was had by all!

The site has already been booked for a return visit in 2023!

Another brilliant show of support at our Follow-on Meet at Bakewell.

Approx. 30 units turned out to enjoy each others company.

Close to a wonderful town, pleasant cycle rides and beautiful countryside to explore within walking distance.
