Easter Meet and AGM

After avoiding the potential cancellation of the meet due to the dependable British Weather, the Easter meet at Clapham and Patching Village Hall went ahead with a great deal of success, sticking just to the hard standing car park area. Fun and games were had with team building, easter bonnets and a quiz, communal Sunday lunch and of course our AGM where a buffet lunch was provided for all attendees.

Following on from the AGM, we now have a new chairperson, Celia, who has been promoted from vice-chair last year. We wish her well in her new roll and if you have any questions or queries feel free to contact her (look at the contacts page for more details).

Val has taken on the role of Vice-Chair as well as still being Site Secretary, so thank you to her for also taking on some additional work!

We also want to Thank our outgoing Chairman, Pat, for all his hard work and time committed to the DA over the last few years, and although he has stepped down as Chairman, he is still on your committee, so hasn’t managed to escape fully quite yet!

Halloween Muntham House School

Thank you to everyone who came out to help us celebrate Halloween at Muntham House School, Barns Green. Although this was only three days we had a great turn out, and nearly ran out of room!

Muntham House School looked fantastic on the autumnal sunshine, and it allowed us to sit outstayed and catch some rays while catching up with friends.

The Saturday Night party, hosted an American Supper with oodles of tasty treats, excellent costumes, spooky games, carved pumpkins and a bit of a boogie! From the comments on our Facebook page, everyone had a great time, and we (especially Julie who has been trying to get a Halloween meet together for some time!) want to say thank you to all of you who came along!

As this was the last of our meets this year, the Committee would also like to say thank you to everyone who has come away with us this year, weather it be virtually every meet or just one night. Keep an eye out for our end of year celebrations and next years camping dates to put in your diary!
