We were there a week or so ago. I can recommend the club site. We could not use the pub due to illness but it is a very short walk. We only had a standard hardstanding pitch. The grass to the side was too wet for the car so had to squeeze it next to the van. I did not spot the fully serviced pitches, they may well be bigger. Otherwise all was good, wardens friendly.

It is a great site, used it after The New year. - j cloughie used it recently for a disasterers trip. But said the site is good. Magpies pub great.,
Feeling that could be the spring Woosie fest.

Mel......good walk from campsite along the canal tow path up hill towards Devizes.
Up hill because you'll be walking pass Caen Hill Locks....a marvel of engineering.
Rewarded by a good pub near the top....the Black Horse.
Wadworth brewery in Divizes....spoilt for choice.

Quicker to walk up, we did it in a canal boat, think it was over 4 hours to go up and just over 3 hours on the way back going down.
Moored up beside the Black Horse and can confirm you have good taste Gaffa. Didn't know about the brewery at the top as well though
Better be quick brewery is moving to a more modern brewery on the outskirts. Reflects the need to brew beers for varied tastes. Horses will still be used.Quicker to walk up, we did it in a canal boat, think it was over 4 hours to go up and just over 3 hours on the way back going down.

On some caravan sites we were on you are not allowed to leave dogs in a caravan
Just looking this online c and cc Devizes looks very good value and with excellent facilities and fishing on the canal looks great
We ignore that stipulation and have never had a problem even when we have gone to reception, given them our mobile number and explained why we need to leave the dogs in the caravan. Never had a "no".
Still does not give you the right to leave them in the caravan i have read the rules on the sites we have visited do not leave dogs in caravans .we take ours every where we goWe ignore that stipulation and have never had a problem even when we have gone to reception, given them our mobile number and explained why we need to leave the dogs in the caravan.

I'm hoping 2022 will be very different (I didn't get to meet up with even one Woosie in 2021).
Happy New Year to you all when it comes.

OK Woosies, assuming that we have made it through the pandemic, various storms, the onset of decrepitude, general bewilderment, and a probable war in the Ukraine; are we up for a Woosiefest this Spring/summer/autumn?
With the permission of our long serving King of course, can I humbly suggest a committee is convened to wrestle with the knotty issues of when and where.
Your thoughts Please.

Mel, I think this would be a good idea to have a " Round Table" of the regulars, who are willing to travel to a Woosie fest.
As we all know, if its in the South, as I tried to do for the Waterrow fest, some could not attend due to other commitments, and when we went to South Farm, some could not attend due to different reasons.
The problems of finding a site with with the requirements for all is a pain in the bum. ie. FSP, dog and child friendly, pub nearby that we can get a table for all, and of course timing, some wanted School holidays or Bank holidays .
I will welcome a "Round Table Council" so that we can choose a site and time. Whats the thought fellow Woosies.

Morning Mel and Woosies,
I will get my knee replacement on the 28 th March. This means I will not be caravanning for a few months. However I am very happy to join a Round Table discussion group and investigate suitable sites and dates for forthcoming Fests. Terri and I will be at South Meadow Belford Northumberland mid two weeks of next month.

I liked the original format of an annual King/Queen and Sirs who had to be proposed and seconded with the King in charge of organisation for a year.
Hutch has held the title for almost 3 years now due to events!!
Perhaps a committee is the way to go now and be open to all attendees from the forum.
Happy to help in any way but already have whole of September booked for a trip to France.
Springfest would be good

its a lovely idea. As you know I am still bound by school holidays as well as doing a Foundation Degree, living in the South West etc, but am always willing to try. So far this year we have several excursions booked already. We are even heading all the way to deepest Suffolk for Easter! Not to mention foreign climes sans 'van in July/August. Just keep us posted, and best of British...
i would be very interested where you are going in France in September keep us updatedI liked the original format of an annual King/Queen and Sirs who had to be proposed and seconded with the King in charge of organisation for a year.

Mel, you have to remember the ""First Spring Fest" happened when Bill and Belinda, mentioned that they would go to Wallinford. Which was great, the second Spring fest was In Ingleton, a good turn up with folk. .
The idea of a "RoundTable" is a good idea, , the Knights and Dames can chose if the want a spring one, I shall hand over to the new King or Queen later in the year. Depending on their attendence.
