We travelled with friends aware it was a school holiday, arriving 2nd and 3rd in the queue for check in at 1145. With prior knowledge of the site we hoped to be near each other but were not holding our breath. At 1155 the warden suddenly asked all partners to go to the office, unprepared and our wives being slightly older than many, were not so nimble, so despite being 2 and 3 in the queue ended up 7 and 8 as there was a stampede. If I were faced with that rare situation as a warden I would pass down the vehicles giving out numbered tallies and booking in the arrivals in order. Members were desperate to get pitches near each other and also hard standing, to add to the situation 2 pitches had been marked with a cone, we were told by a member this was because they had water on them earlier, they turned out to be reserved for disabled members. I ended up moving the van 3 times, but we did get hard standing in the end. These events are rare only twice in 22 years has it happened, it could be prevented with a little pre-planning. Our stay was good and we enjoyed seeing the children on Halloween, we also visited a good museum dedicated to Romany Life, it is near Spalding and is run by a true Romany gentleman called Gordon Boswell he has a large collection of horse and motor drawn caravans and will give out much history regarding Romany life (google Gordon Boswell Romany Museum)Well worth a visit. The site and area has much to offer and despite the little hic up on arrival we will be back.
