For those who aren’t already aware, WASH 2011 will take place at Manor Park, again, and we have been able to hold last year’s prices. Manor Park have made some changes and improvements to the venue, the accommodation, and to the site in general which we are sure will be appreciated particularly by those who stayed in the “Tudor” area last year, where there is now gravel road through the middle. We will do our best to allocate vans next to this where possible. We have been steadily receiving deposits and pledges, and are well on the way to finalising the entertainment programme for the weekend with some great bands, and daytime entertainment, with an old favourite being given a new twist and a new activity to WASH for you to enjoy in the form of the inaugural WASH Boat Race! After an absence of many years, “Friday Rock Night” makes a return by popular demand, and as Zumba becomes more and more popular omongst Plus members, you saw it first at Brean, but we show you how we do it around here…..
As a reminder of the prices….
| Gold/Silver Caravan: £66.95pp Bronze Caravan: £61.95pp Chalet: £61.95pp Sofabed places: £37.50pp See booking forms for full details of prices |
For those who enjoy the “themes” we have each year, we have two easy to do ideas for this year – after the tremendously bright success of “neon night” last year, we will be revisiting this on the Sunday night, so go with the glo! On Saturday, as the saying goes……if you want to get ahead GET A HAT…and of course you are welcome to match your outfit to your headgear should you so wish!
