Valentines Meet 2014 suggestions

Any suggestions for a place to hold the 2014 valentines meet?
Ideally hard standing with electric and within easy reach of the main road network, no isolated country locations.

frodsham. lady heyes.just a thought for all you lovebirds as me and margarita will be on the juice somewhere in a warmer climate.but if i was home i would choose ladyheyes

Thanks Frank, someone did mention that at the weekend, I wasn't sure if it was open or not, were they not closing after we had the meet there or was that just the pub?

no they were extending it,but wont effect the site.pubs still there,along with the fabulous steak restraunt  ,but heated toilets which is good for feb,as it will be  coldish. for you all.may i suggest you all go to the pub at the same time,to keep warm.

What about Newsholme Manor - same place as this years Valentines Meet ?

Steve/Kim, we have discussed this and want somewhere nearer to the main road network, if you remember the snow drifts last year we were lucky to get there, or worse still if it snows like that whilst on site we might get snowed in  
At least you stand a better chance near main roads than you do with isolated country areas

We've always wanted to go to Lady Heyes but have never got round to it... But we can't make that weekend. Weekend before or after would be great or another weekend meet?

OK, would anyone be interested in going to Lady Heyes then for valentines weekend? 14th & 15th longer?

Sorry to be so ignorant Ken - but where is Lady Heyes ?

Not impressed  if we were going to have a meal , last time we were there the meal  and service left a lot to be desired
Think it was the Xmas meet last year

Just off the M56 at Frodsham

I know Baza, surely it can't be that bad again, don't think they could cop with the numbers, and didn't the chef get the boot??

Yes do tell. Don't suppose it's anywhere near us.

178 miles then so not near us. 

We're still open to suggestions if anyone knows anywhere

How about this place ? Never been - saw it on Ukcampsite
Royal Oak

Their site says wrote:

We have a large field at the rear of the pub beyond our own private car park. This is ideal for caravans and tents with wash facilities and electrical hook up. The field is available for camping and caravan rallies and can be booked on a per night basis.

Bit concerned about fields in February, might be frozen solid though
I have sent them an email to see if they have hard standing, I'll let you know their reply

Anywhere around the Midlands would be very central which is good for us.

Midlands would be good for us as well.

I will have a search.

May be too expensive but they have a barn as well.

Just spotted this pub in Derbyshire on "facts"
Grouse and Claret in Rowsley

Maybe a rally would be less expensive

 , looks a great site & very central.

Not sure about Buxton in February, It snows in summer there  

I'll enquire at Weststone Gorse

How many vans? 6-10?

Looks good but how many hardstandings are there in case of wet  weather , there does not appear to be many  when you google maps it

Also is there a bar on site as it is a bit isolated

This one looks good and it has hardstandings

Decisions decisions  which are we going for?

£5 pn or £3 pn over 10 vans.

Grouse and Claret is more midlands for our southern members to reach

Anybody else got any opinions  

Any but not that weekend!!!

At Heyford Leys Camping Park our family run camping park location has been established for over 30 years. Just 2 miles from junction 10 on the M40 motorway and close to the A34 junction 9 of the M40 we are ideally located to a huge range of local attractions and activities.
Our whole park is located in a beautiful picturesque area, surrounded by trees, so is well sheltered from wind and rain.
Grass and hardstanding pitches are available and our hardstanding pitches make us ideal for visits during the winter months, especially at Christmas, when we are very popular with campers visiting their families for the festive period.

Been here twice before and had great meets run by Mark and Alan and a very dodgy drinking contest run by Mark and Brian (say no more) but as said they were smashing fun, the barn is fine and the restaurant food is very good.

Not just up to me Mike,throwing it open to all members.
Is there any interest in any of the above locations??.

waiting for a reply from the grouse and claret

I try          on the beach .co.uk

What about that pub Leapy mentioned at Burton on Trent. 

Well the Grouse and Claret haven't got back to me yet, shall I contact another place?

Pub in Burton only really suitable for odd 1 or 2 vans Joyce

Wasn't the Grouse and Claret that the Roamers went to and it was a case of 'never again'. 

Think the ground was boggy and the food was awful.

Unless it is under new management.
