Could the area reps please tell me of any nice local camping/caravaning sites in your area, and local attractions or places of intrest etc. Meet days/nights or 1 day shows and maybe eateries (possibly breweries ) that would be of interest to the members.

Just feeling the water for a treasure hunt type of thing, seeing if theres anything about and/or any interest.

I might even put a prize up or two

You'll be hard pressed to find a better place than cornwall for attractions and sight seeing.

the real ales are regarded around the world as some of the best and we've got breweries and cider plants a'plenty.

sight seeing attractions range from haunted smugglers dens , ancient castles ,outside theaters built into the cliff side ( still open and its an experience of a life trime to sit there on a sunny evenging watching a play with the waves smashing around you ) medival dungeons . we also have some , if not the , best beaches in the U.K , as some of you sampled last year.

we have a meet every third sunday of the month and we've also got a show lined up for next year, nothing massive just a good get together, and not forgetting our weekend p*** up  we also have a number of shows put on by other local clubs like the blue ridge runners and the south coast cruisers, i can send details to anyone interested , 

camping sites coming out of our ears , but pete has one of the best around for location as you all found out. set at dear park near dartmouth and again i've got details for anyone interested

i could go on forever and ever

We have Billing Col, you've no doubt heard of it!

Seriously though there's lots more to Northants than just Bling.

Stanford Hall in Corby is great, lots of car clubs meet there & Silverstone of course.

Plenty of stately homes up here in Cheshire, along with very grand gardens that seem to go hand in hand with them. Jodrell Bank, Boat Museum, Anderton Lift, Chester City, a great zoo, probably the easiest motorway access in the country, plenty of ice cream farms in deepest darkest rural areas, some castles, Roman ruins, and we have some campsites knocking about too.

Sorry Craig, but sold Deer Park in August (well, not sorry - now retired!)

Not up to the same standard, Col, but I have some paddocks you are welcome to use for camping - will have to be a potaloo though. Loads of things to do in the area - will probably organise this years south wester with craig here.
