Campers started to roll in at 1pm thick and fast. The sun was shining and the sky was blue with some light fluffy clouds.By 4pm, 12 units had been sited and they kept on rolling in.Before you knew it, by Friday evening, we had 17 units onsite

Following on from the AGM, Shropshire DA would like to introduce you to the Committee:

The North Central Region AGM 2019 is to be held at West Midlands Showground, Shrewsbury, SY1 2PF from 9th-13th May[…]

We Invite all Camping and Caravanning Club members to join us at Longden Village Hall, near Shrewsbury.

We have evening events in the Village Hall each night with games, quizzes a raffle and bingo. In the day in the hall we will have Easter activities for the children, chocolate nests, decorated biscuits and Easter crafts, bring your own hard boiled egg, games and movie afternoons if the weather is unkind.

Sixteen units from across the Midlands, including West Midlands DA and BCC, Derbyshire, Chase, North Staffs, and of course, Shropshire, attended our first of 2 meets this year at this popular venue near Bridgnorth.

At our recent AGM, our Treasurer, Ken Michael, was delighted to present the trophy for ‘Most Camped’ for the previous year, to the winners, Vince and Linda Beddoes, who joined us at 14 meets.

We welcomed 19 members to Shropshire DA’s Annual General Meeting. It is fantastic to see the support from the members.

Our Site Secretary, Vince Beddoes, has been very busy contacting the sites that we visit and negotiating free camping for stewards.

We are very pleased to confirm that the majority of the site owners have agreed and therefore following Vince’s proposal, the committee unanimously agreed to provide free steward camping at all Shropshire DA meets going forward.

It is a need at this point to attract more members to join the committee, it is important to have a healthy cross section of committee members to represent the whole of Shropshire DA.
