Hello All Members

We are now into 2023 and I am sure that most of you are looking forward to the 2023 Camping Season; My wife and I have already been Out & About camping and we are looking forward to travelling around the country and meeting with old and new friends.  In 2024 our Devon & Cornwall Area are hosting our 62nd National Meet & AGM at Haynes Motor Museum, Yeovil, Somerset BA22 7LH - from 24th to 28th May 2024.  This will be a fun packed 4 days with entertainment in the evenings and on the Sunday Afternoon a 'Picnic in the Park' with Stoke-Sub-Hamden Brass Band.  So don't forget to put this date in your diary and there will be further information and a booking form in both the Winter & Spring magazine Waggoners Talk. 

We are now part way through the summer season and I hope you are all getting Out & About exploring the beautiful English, Scottish, Welsh & Irish countryside with your friends and families.  If you have never camped at a meet or a holiday site before give it a go and I know you will receive a warm welcome wherever you travel.

Happy Camping

 

Colin Lang

MCS Chairman
