Autumn Rally in Devon

[Anonymous]

Proposed Autumn Rally at Cofton Holiday Park, Starcross, Nr. Dawlish, South Devon EX6 8RP

Following a chat with Maureen, we are suggesting arrival on Thursday 5^th October and departure on Thursday 12th

As we have heard that several members are interested in coming to Cofton, we have been in touch with the booking office and, although there shouldn’t be a problem, Laura (the Rally booker) is away until next Monday so we won’t have any costing details till then.

In the meantime you might like to take a look at the website to see what a great place it is – very good facilities (indoor pool, steam rooms, nice bar and restaurant + easy walk to harbour pubs etc)

hope this whets your appetite …. If so then please let us know soonest by posting on this new topic page

If we can get 10 + we should be able to get Rally rates

Hope to see y’all there

Sue and Kenn

[Maureen Tofts]

Count us in for all of it please. We will tow my car so can give two others a lift to Powderham if any one goes when we do (we don’t ‘do’ early mornings).

Hi all Cofton Hobbyists
I have today contacted Cofton Holidays to confirm we will be at least 10 vans attending the Rally and to check on facilities available to us during our stay.
• The daily rate will be £12 and I will be paying the total bill – so please can you let me have a cheque made out to me (or cash if you don’t have a cheque book) sometime during your stay
• As 7 of us will be arriving on Thursday – suggest we have a meet up in the Swan Bar at 6 pm(ish) for some liquid refreshment. If we like it – we may frequent the bar on other evenings in lieu of the cooler absent event tent !!!
• On Saturday Sue and I will be going to the Powderham Castle Food Festival – just up the road from Cofton – no compulsion but join us if you fancy it – tickets are £6.50 in advance or £8 on the gate – see website for more details http://www.powderhamfoodfestival.com/tickets/
• As remaining Hobbyists will be arriving on Sunday – thought it might be a nice idea to have a Rally supper at the Warren Retreat (Cofton’s main Restaurant) at 6 pm (if all arrived by then) – from memory the food is good and not too pricey. Again not compulsory but would be good to know numbers ahead of time so the staff can sort seating for us
That’s all for now folks – any questions please post
Look forward to meeting up at Cofton

Hi Peter and Christine,
We have the tall flags and will bring them with us. We arrive on Sunday.

[Maureen Tofts]

Love ‘organge’ signs. Now what colour is that?

[Maureen Tofts]

We used the Hobby signs in Malvern, so we have most of them (not the tall flags). We will bring all we have to Cofton. We are likely to go there the day before the Hobby meet starts (on the Wednesday) so if Reception are happy, we will put up the organge signs so members know where to go. Sadly we need to leave on the Monday so Peter and Christine, we will leave the signs behind for you to take to Norfolk.

great news Peter & Christine – we now have the minimum 10 to get Rally rates. No deposit required – we pay on arrival.
hopefully we may attract a few more with my colourful poster sent to all by Dave
See you all there
Kenn & Sue

[Peter & Christine Runagall]

Hi Kenn and Sue,

We have been able to juggle things and will now be able to join you on Sunday through to Thursday. Looking forward to meeting up. Please let me know if you need a deposit etc.
Do you think it will be possible for me to borrow any Hobby signs at the end of Thursday so I can put them out for the Xmas meet? Assuming there is not another meet before then.

We now have 8 vans coming along to Cofton. There is still plenty of time for adding on extra people if anyone decides they would like to join the group. Will be posting extra information about the venue before then.

We would like to come, arriving on Thursday 5 Oct, but think we could only stay for 4 nights, leaving on Monday.

Hi Kenn and Sue,

That sounds like a great venue, unfortunately Christine and I will be in the South of France so unable to attend. I do hope you all have a great meet.

[Tony Charity]

Please include us for the Cofton Rally as we will be there for the full week.

Greetings all

I have today had confirmation from Cofton Holidays that they can accommodate our Autumn Rally for the week 5^th to 12^th October. With the exception of the outdoor pools all facilities will be open (excellent indoor pool & steam rooms, Gym, Bar, restaurant and shop). They can also provide us with meeting space if we want to hold a committee meeting.

As to costs – the normal low season standard grass pitch with EHU rate is £18.50 (or £13.88 if we pay in advance with 25% discount for 5 nights or longer). If we are 10 or more we can get the Rally rate of £12 per night with EHU and a designated area in either Ten Acre or Barn Field (see site plan attachment)

At the moment we only have 5 confirmed vans on the forum but I do know that there are many more of you interested – so please, please can you confirm you are coming as soon as possible so I can say yes to Cofton.

Do check out the website if you want to see what Cofton has to offer

Lookingforwardtoitalready

Hi Kenn,

Please count us in for Cofton.  We will already be down in West Sussex at a previous engagement and would join you on the Sunday.

Hi Ken & Sue
Hope you are both well.
Sorry Karen & Steve will not be able to attend the Autumn Rally in Devon.
We both hope to meet up with you all in 2018.
