Lightweight Gas Bottles

Some useful information from Notts DA member Peter Staples:-
It is possible to get next day deliveries to your door of Calor Gas bottles by calling freephone 0800 662663. The prices appear to be competitive as he bought two of the 6kg Calor Lites (new lightweight bottles) at £19.25 each and delivery included in the price.

Having just finished yet another New Year meet and still recovering from lack of sleep, I would like to thank on behalf of my family and I, all that attended the meet and all the people who helped in making this yet another one not to forget.

We had an umpah band on the Tuesday night and a very good female singer, Jaquie on Wednesday night, and not forgetting the panto at Lincoln with Cannon and Ball who all the kids thought were great. All the food that was laid on was fantastic as usual, the usual games old and new were also great to watch and join in with (I didn't like the last game though I was set up I think).

So bring on 2010/2011 New Year meet

Regards

Mark Stafford

Having returned from Newark earlier today I just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic New Year meet.

In our group of friends we have 9 children aged 7 and under & although they 'hit the wall' far too early on New Years Eve we cracked open a bottle of champers & enjoyed the fireworks outside our vans in our PJ's! 

The evening entertainment was really well organised (we all loved deal or no deal) & having arrived late on the 30th having come straight from a break at Centre Parcs with non caravanning friends, today I asked my 5 & 6 year olds which they preferred: Centre Parcs or the 'van' .Without hesitation both answered the van 'cos of the disco & parties at night....need I say more!
 

The Rowlands, Hallams, Hardys & Hughes!

Having just returned home from the Notts DA New Years Camping Meet; this is just a short letter of thanks from Tracey and me to the team responsible for running the recent event (held at Newark Showground). The whole event from start to finish was brilliantly organised and absolutely superbly executed with – in the best Notts DA tradition - something for everyone throughout the event.

The entertainment laid on by Mark & Dale was brilliant, as was the food laid on by the team (especially the New Year’s Eve buffet which was one of the best we’ve ever had in 30 years with NDA!!!). Nothing was too much trouble for a team that, although always working extremely hard, they always had a smile on their face’s making for a great meet atmosphere.

Congratulations, very well done and very many thanks for starting off our 2010 in the best way possible!!!!

Message from Richard & Glenys Day

A message to all friends and fellow Notts DA members - It's been unfortunate that we have not been able to meet up with you all, onsite or over the recent winter socials but as some of you know, Richard has not been well for quite some time now with a bad back problem. Due to his health we have not been able to get out much at all this year. So! we would both like to thank everyone for their cards and best wishes and to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Finally we'd like to let you know that we are looking forward to getting out over next seasons camping season.

See you all then. Richard & Glenys
