Views on an Affiliated Site that is near a super beach and backed by the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia)
We’ve noticed that a few updates are required in the latest edition of our Touring Europe guide. 1.
2.
3.
There is reference to GB vehicle identifier stickers but these are no longer valid and should be replaced by UK stickers. There is reference to a Green card being required by UK drivers when travelling in the EU but this is incorrect; Green cards are not required in the EU and some other countries. There is reference to stays in Croatia not counting towards the EU visa free limit of 90 days in 180 days, but as of 1 Jan 2023 this is no longer correct.

Harlech Castle Near Min Y Don Affiliated Site Photo by member Michelle Moffat “Fantastic location, site was really nice, great facilities, staff were helpful and polite. Stunning scenery highly recommend.” (September 2022) “This large site has been cleverly divided into sections by hedges so that it doesn’t feel like a large car park. Our pitch was large and really nicely spaced out... There is a good view of the beautiful imposing castle when wandering around the site. Clean facilities, push button showers but they stay on long enough. The best bit for us was the short walk
to the fabulous beach! We visited Harlech a couple of times by the short steep road.” (September 2022) “The best feature for us as a young family was the location – short walking distance to the huge beach and a short cycle away from the village Premier shop. Both experiences our children loved! Would highly recommend the Mawddach cycle trail between Barmouth and Dolgellau which is only a short drive away. So much to do in the area, this site is a real gem! Would highly recommend!” (August 2022)
FABULOUS FIFTIES
Four couples celebrated 50 years of membership with the Club at this year’s ClubFest, while another dedicated pair were attending their 50th National/ClubFest event – incredible achievements all round. A special presentation was held for the four couples who hit the 50-year mark during a ‘thank you’ get-together for ClubFest volunteers. Between them they have attended more than 4,000 rallies. The couples, pictured here, are Malcolm and Deborah Black (Cumbria Centre), Tony and Jennie Beaney (East Kent Centre), Robin and Janet Blackford (Upper Thames Centre) and Barrie and Suzanne Livesey (South Lancashire Centre). 20 August 2023
News in brief STEPHEN HOWARD
The Club was sorry to hear of the death of Stephen Howard, owner of Bailey of Bristol. Stephen was invited to join Bailey in 1977 by his brother, Patrick, then Managing Director, and after purchasing the business the brothers oversaw a great deal of growth and success. Stephen’s sons, Nick and Simon, took over the running of the company but Stephen remained a Director until very recently. The Club sends its condolences to Stephen’s family, friends and colleagues.
TEXT MESSAGES
Occasionally you may receive a text message from the Club on your phone (this will appear with the sender name ‘TheClub’). For example, we might send Marketing messages with offers or products that may be of interest to you or Service messages if there are any road closures or access issues affecting a campsite that you have booked. We would like to assure members that these are genuine text messages from us. To stop receiving both Marketing and Service text messages from the Club you can simply reply STOP to the number at the bottom of a recent message and press SEND.
