Sandringham What's the latest

Thanks FD, I am on the waiting list but shan't hold my breath.

I see there is now a list on the National page of Club Sites and rallies (relatively) near so if some of those on the waiting list make alternative arrangements to go as day visitors then the waiting list will possibly go down.

Unfortunately that would not work for me FD and if they are charging what they normally charge for day visitors, it isn't worth it. I have now booked with the rest of the family to go elsewhere, it was cheaper as well.

£5 per adult for a day ticket peedee, under 18s are free. So only expensive if you are staying on a Club Site I should think, stay on a rally it could even be considerably cheaper.

Apparently (according to the grapevine) cancellations are coming in from those who have discovered they cannot attend after all, so... 

...keep those fingers crossed, if you are on the waiting list!

Got the new magazine today, did everyone else see page 11 about the National and some of what's on this year...pig racing, Xtreme Stunt team (that's cyclists, motor and pedal), dog show and a pipe band. Then there is the Have a Go area, with Zorbing (!!!) Segways, and an assault course as well as the usual climbing wall this year. Also the Sports Bar will not only have the Sky Sports but also games consoles for those so inclined - not me personally, but whatever floats your boat, I'm just hoping to get out and see some of the arena goings on and maybe (fingers crossed) maybe even get to see a show.

I have also heard on the grapevine that maybe there may even be a few more spaces becoming available this month - anyone here got a place from the waiting list yet ?

Not got our magazine yet. We are always about a week later than those who post on here 😢.  Wasn't quick enough to book and haven't gone on waiting list so can't help.

Our magazine only arrived this weekend, (like the new look - but that's another thread ) Knowing how it works,  I think HM having a cold after Xmas and staying at Sandringham a bit longer than usual means that the national team wouldn't get in there until later than normal so although it had been worked out on paper, perhaps there may be a few more pitches to be found when they actually get there and start marking out the areas - you never know - perhaps Doris might have brought a few strategic trees down there too !? 

Alison

I have heard that there has been a few cancellations and some of those on the waiting list have been offered places.

We are going to the National at Sandringham, booked mid November but was told we could not pitch within our region or centre as it was full. Is there anybody in the same situation as us, regular ralliers with their centre but been put elsewhere as there is no room at the inn!!
