Club Site redevelopments

At the beginning of the main season you will see some fabulous new improvements to some of your favourite sites. We will keep you up to date with the plans and how the sites are progressing each month. Make sure you come back to the redeveloped sites this summer where you will really see the difference.

Details of forthcoming site developments can be seen below:

Battle (formerly Normanhurst Court)

Winter redevelopments will include an extension and refurbishment to the top toilet block that will offer an increased number of shower facilities, a larger laundry, enclosed vegetable preparation area and a new disabled bathroom.  

The lower toilet block will also be refurbished including a linked walkway to enclose the two existing areas and will also provide an enclosed vegetable preparation area, enlarged laundry and much needed baby and toddler room.

In addition to this, three new hard standings will be created. The site will be ready to open for Easter 2012.

Blackwall Plantation

Toilet block refurbishment and facility improvements including additional showers and toilets, enlarged enclosed vegetable preparation area, laundry and a new drying room - ideal on Blackwall as its perfect for walkers.

External maintenance improvements are also planned. The site is due to open as normal in 2012.

Broad Park

This lovely site, located close to the beaches of the Devon coastline will receive a new and more efficient treatment plant this winter. Site will open as usual.

Broadway

The upper toilet block building at this popular site in the Cotswolds will undergo refurbishment this winter. We are also seeking to house the famous "Wanderer", the oldest caravan on the network, at this site. See how our first members used to travel. The site will open as normal in 2012.

Bunree

Accessibility to the site facilities are being improved as is the toilet ventilation system. The site will open as usual in 2012.

Culloden Moor

During winter 2011/2012, the site will undergo improvement works in two stages. Phase one will take place this winter to improve the entrance to the site. Phase two will begin next winter with refurbishment of the toilet block and addition of new facilities. The site will open as usual in 2012.

Englethwaite Hall

The economy pitches at this site will be replaced with hardstandings and electric hook ups. Additionally, some standard pitches will be upgraded to serviced hardstanding but there is no impact on site opening.

Garlieston

Accessibility to the site toilet block is being improved this winter. There is no impact on site opening.

Grafham Water

Additional hardstanding pitches will be developed over the winter period to allow more members to enjoy the site even following wet periods. There is no impact on site opening. 

Hillhead

This popular family site in South Devon will receive a new playground over the winter as well as improvements to the pavements around the covered courtyard area. Opening as usual in 2012.

Hunter's Moon

Following the refurbishment of one of the toilet blocks during last winter, the site will now have its second toilet block refurbished ready for the 2012 main season. The refurbishment will include an extension to the block, an upgraded disabled bathroom, a second baby and toddler room and an internal enlarged vegetable preparation area.

The laundry room will be enlarged and there will be some extra WCS and showers. A small late night arrivals area will be added to the site as well as improved entrance and exit.

The site has remained open utilising the recently refurbished toilet blocks. However from February 2012 the site will be closed to enable essential site entrance improvements with all works completed and site reopening by 23 March.

Incleboro Fields

This winter will see the remaining two toilet blocks being refurbished following the first two being completed last winter. The works have been planned to ensure the site remains open as usual with it being at full capacity from mid April.

Lleithyr Meadows

The site is due to open slightly later in 2012 (April) after some extensive redevelopments this winter. Plans for this site include three new grass pitches, a toilet block refurbishment and extension to include a new baby and toddler room and enclosed vegetable preparation area, as well as improvements to site infrastructure and the reception, enlarged to aid members.

Lochside

Forming the second phase of extensive improvements to this site since its acquisition by the Club, the number of hardstandings will be increased to 50 and there will be a variety of enhancements to the site's infrastructure. The combined reception and toilet block building will receive a substantial upgrade to include the rearrangement and refitting of the toilet and shower facilities. The site will open on 1 April. 

Penrhos

This site will have 13 new hardstanding pitches added over the winter to ensure more pitches are available all season. This will give us five more pitches overall. The Club is also planning some improvements to the children's facilities by consolidating these into one new play area. The site will open as usual.

Rowntree Park

Work started in January 2012. This highly popular site in North Yorkshire will undergo some remodelling to the existing site, plus the development of 14 all weather pitches (some of these will be serviced pitches).

Improvements will also be made to the entrance including barriers, service points, warden's areas, parking and CCTV. In addition to this, The Club plans to undertake a toilet block refurbishment and redesign, new vegetable preparation area, baby and toddler room, information room, laundry, telephone booth and disabled bathroom. 

As this site will be undergoing such extensive work, it will be closed until August 2012. Beechwood Grange, just four miles away, will become an open all year site and our new site in Bridlington is just 40 miles away.

Southport

Extension works to be developed over a two year period. Initial works began in January 2012 and a subsequent site extension will include 74 additional hard standing pitches and a new toilet block and play area.

Phase one will be completed during site closure. Phase two extension field is scheduled for October 2012 with the site reopening as usual. Once the extension field is completed phase three will begin late 2012 and includes the refurbishment of the existing site. During this work the extension field and reception will remain open for members to use.
