There have been a few posts asking if we are having a New Year rally/meet this year so a few of the staff have been trying to find a venue with not a lot of success. The Rally Sec. has now managed to contact the site we used last year and they have indicated that there will be space for us if we want to attend.
The location is Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club near Bromsgrove, Worcestershire and is a small site next to a social club. They have a NYE party which comprises a bit of live music, dancing and a buffet. The beer is cheap and the food was OK last year. It's easy to get to and just off the M5 South of Birmingham. The site is mainly grass with a slight slope with a small amount of hard standing. Camping facilities are minimal but adequate, a few hook-ups on a first come, first served basis at Ģ2.00 a night extra. The camping field is immediately behind the clubhouse so not far to crawl when under the influence. It can be muddy if it rains (poured down last year) but no-one got stuck (and we had 2 RVs). Cost will be around Ģ3.00 per night camping and around Ģ10.00 each for the NYE party and buffet. The plan will be to arrive Friday or Saturday and leave Monday but anyone wanting to stay longer shouldn't have any problem.
We need to know if there will be sufficient interest to make this one viable within the next few days so if you would like to come along, post here in the next couple of days.

BTW, no commitment required at this stage as other members of staff are still trying to find other possible venues, we just need to know approximate numbers.

Hi Ken,
There seems to be a lot in Cornwall, I know that's too far but every search I've done Cornwall keeps cropping up.
Can't find any that are central at the moment but will keep looking. Wherever you end up I hope you all have fun

Hi all
I hope you get something sorted out Ken however I wonder if the lack of interest is due to the site and the location?
I would be interested to find out and maybe people could note down where they would like to go if there was a New Year Rally??
You have a PM Ken
I don't really know what members want in terms of a NY rally, this location was pursued at the request of members who enjoyed it last year so I would have expected a rather greater amount of interest to be honest. As far as I can see it fulfills most of the required criteria for a NY rally:
1) Central, easy to access location.
2) Excellent value for money.
3) Licensed (cheap) bar and meals on site in members club (not a tent).
4) NYE party with live entertainment and buffet at very reasonable cost.
5) Local pubs/restaurants for those who want them.
6) Canalside location with plenty of walks.
7) Shops and towns within short driving distance.
The only drawbacks to this site are its basic nature, lack of hook-ups and it's inclination to turn muddy if it rains heavily (as it did last year), but this applies to many sites at that time of year. It didn't really cause any major problems last year.
I can appreciate that members don't want to travel far at the NY, particularly as the weather can be unpredictable so perhaps a number of smaller local gatherings would be more appropriate, if so then members will have to find the venues, any suggestions are welcome. The rally staff have spent a good deal of time trying to find a better central venue but have drawn a blank in terms of suitability and cost. It's very disappointing for them that so few members seem inclined to respond, perhaps members prefer to stay at home with their families at New Year?
