A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
I hope that you are all in good health.
It has been a wonderful start to the camping season, with everyone enjoying the lovely weather and making the most of being back on site. The atmosphere around the camp has been fantastic, and it is great to see so many members out and about enjoying themselves once again.
Our AGM was held recently and proved to be very successful. I am pleased to report that a full committee of twelve members was formed, along with the appointment of our Treasurer. Thank you to everyone that attended and supported the meeting, and especially to those who have volunteered their time to help the club continue to grow and run smoothly throughout the coming year.
Pat has been very busy arranging live entertainment for the main weekends of the season at Clapham, Duncton and Lancing College. A varied programme is being organised, which should provide plenty of enjoyment and entertainment for members and visitors alike.
We are all looking forward to some excellent weekends ahead, with good company, great music, and hopefully continued good weather.
Many of our older members, I'm sure will be pleased to hear, we are thrilled to share that Gordon & Shirley Bonner, after decades of loyal support, are still attending and enjoying their camping adventures with West Sussex DA. They have attended every one of our Meets this season, and it has been wonderful to see their continued enthusiasm and joy of camping with us.
2025 - some of the best bits….
Welcome to our friendly community
You’ll get a great welcome at the West Sussex District Association of The Camping & Caravanning Club. We are a very active group with 12 Meets throughout the year including our 3-week famous THS arranged for 2026 and many more Meets already planned for 2027.
West Sussex has some of the most beautiful areas in the UK and we are so lucky to be able to arrange our weekend Meets in the beautiful South Downs and surrounding areas. If your idea of a weekend camping is to just sit and relax or to maybe join in the fun with like-minded campers, you’ll be made very welcome.
We hope to see you soon!
