Earlier this year Peter Runagall successfully negotiated what we believe to be a great deal at The Old Brick Kilns campsite in Barney, Norfolk NR21 0NL as a venue for our pre Christmas meet.
During a post AGM committee meeting it was agreed that we should take up this offer for the dates beginning Wednesday 6th December, departing on the morning of Wednesday 13th December. Stay the full week or just a few days, the choice is yours. Peter has also negotiated for us a Christmas Fayre meal, which would take place on the evening of Saturday 9th December in their Barneys restaurant.
Camping will be available on hard standing pitches at £14.50 per night including electric hook up and an extra £1 per night would secure what they term a super pitch. The meal price has been agreed at £18.45 per head. A sample menu is included below.To secure your pitch the campsite is requesting a deposit of £30 to be paid no later than Thursday 31st August. If you intend joining us there please send a cheque made payable to Independent Association of Hobbyists. The address to send it to is:
Mrs Sue Dalley
17 Cubbington Road
Leamington Spa
Warwickshire
CV32 7AAAlternately, it may be possible to pay your deposit by internet or telephone banking using your surname plus Barney as a reference (example Bloggs Barney). The details you will require are
Name: Independent Association of Hobbyists abbreviated to IAH if necessary
Sort Code: 40-45-05
Account No 81204475Currently we have 20 pitches on hold but more may be available providing sufficient notice if given. I have checked with the campsite this morning, they are prepared to hold the pitches until 31st August as they do have one other camping organisation, attempting to secure the same week as us.
So if you intend joining us there, do reply to this post here and do ensure that your deposit is received either in the form of a cheque or direct to bank by 31st August.
Looking forward to seeing you in Norfolk.

Thank you for your positive feedback and I am glad that you feel the Christmas rally was a success. As it was my first attempt it was a bit of a worry especially as it was in the winter with such short daylight. Thanks to those that provided helpful advise and for the music and quiz. We enjoyed the get together and really appreciated the 17 van turnout, it makes the effort worthwhile.
Hope you all have a very happy Christmas and wonderful New Year.
See you next year Regards from Peter and Christine

Many thanks to Peter and Christine for arranging what proved to be a brilliant pre Christmas meet. The site was perfect, the facilities were impeccable and the meal was excellent. As usual, this meet did have a nod towards good fun, a tipple or two and even a surprise quiz. I have to agree with Jim below that the best team won namely OCWAR (Of course we are right).
Despite the concerns of friends to the north of us in County Durham who suspected we would need digging out, we saw no more than 1mm of snow on one morning and no snow at all, from leaving the site to arriving back home in North Yorkshire on Wednesday. -
Greetings all Brick Kilners
I have just sent 5 pics of our indoor fun at the Rally to Rick Faulkner (our official photographer) for him to put on the Website Gallery. If any of you have a few good pics please can you do the same – be good to have a couple of site shots. As we are now restricting the number of photos to 25 for each event – Rick will pick the best
Thanks and enjoy the festive season
Regards

Thank you Peter and Christine for an excellent Christmas meet up. We so enjoyed it and the site was brilliant, particularly the facilities. I think we were in the best place last week – no snow. Also many thanks to Ruth and Nick for organising the quiz. We didn’t quite get the wooden spoon!! A very happy Christmas to you all and looking forward to the rallies in 2018.

Hi everyone,
I have spoken to the campsite this morning and provisionally booked 17 electric pitches.
I have promised to confirm that number next Wednesday following our treasurer’s sight of the latest bank statement which will confirm payment of deposits.
We are booked into the restaurant for the Saturday evening Christmas Fayre meal.
One question I was asked during the phone call was on what nights we would require the bar. The bar is normally closed at that time of year so staff would need to be brought in.
Having just read one of the Google reviews that stated ‘Very helpful staff but the beer was extremely pricey’. I for one will not be frequenting the bar on a regular basis.
Your thoughts please. -
