Due to alterations by Lloyds Bank, our Treasurer can take payment by cash or BACS, but unfortunately we have to add 50p to every payment made by cheque, due to Bank charges.

BARNSTONES  - We are at Barnstones the 20th to 22nd March 2026, and again in October 2026 for our AGM. The sharp-eyed amongst you have noticed that the Barnstones advert, in this months Motor Caravanner, is advertising camping fees at a far better rate than we had set for our site fees as a Group. The site owner has been contacted, as we thought that we would grab a bargain whilst it was still going, but alas, it is a printing error which the site owner knew nothing about. The matter has been drawn to the attention of the COM, and hopefully the situation will be quickly rectified.​

A message from our Chairman​

​

Following the AGM at Oundle, I am pleased to tell you that you do have a Committee willing to stand for a further year. However we are in a very vulnerable position, in that all of the present incumbents are of a certain age, and if anything should happen to any one of those members, then we have no-one in the wings, so to speak, who could slide across into any of the mandatory required positions for the group to carry on.

I am appealing to Nene Valley Group members to really consider volunteering to help our very successful and happy  group move forward, and remove some of that vulnerability. You don't get any perks being on the Committee - just a great feeling that you are putting something back into this great Club of yours. We are a well oiled ( some will say well lubricated! ) team that I am very proud to be part of, but we do need extra help. 

Please speak to me , or any member of the Committee and we will be only too pleased to explain any of our roles, and what is involved.

I do look forward to hearing from you please !            Paul

WATERLOO FARM, GREAT OXENDON

This was a pre-booked meet, and we were only allocated 18 pitches on this commercial site, with each pitch having EHU - quite a novelty for Nene Valley members. We had also been told that we had use of the restaurant on Friday evening, but alas this was not to be. Jane and Denis were our stewards for the weekend. The weather was kind to us, so some set off to the restaurant, where they enjoyed a hearty breakfast, others walked along the Brampton Valley Way to Market Harborough, visiting the Micro Brewery en route. Some went on their cycles to visit        ' the haunted tunnels ' at Kelmarsh, others walking their dogs around the extensive grounds and fishing lakes. The site restaurant was kept busy at lunchtime, serving various lunches. Saturday evening we did have use of the restaurant, Denis kept us amused with a musical quiz, and Jane had everyone in fits of laughter with her body parts quiz. The raffle was then drawn, so we had a busy evening. On Sunday we had coffee morning outside, and, being Remembrance Sunday, we held a short service, with Pat reading " In Flanders Fields " followed by 2 minutes silence, and " The Exhortation " by Paul. The restaurant was well attended by those being treated to an excellent  Sunday Lunch. The group were also thanked by the site manager for our professional management on site, and being such a pleasant group to be with. 

Thank you to Jane and Denis for a pleasant weekend.     PAT​​
