Rovercamp2012

Welcome to the page for Rovercamp 2012.

Date – Weekend of 27th to the 29th July 2012.
Location – Lower Lacon Caravan Park near Wem in Shropshire.

Lower Lacon Site

 

The idea for Rovercamp came from a discussion at a rally in 2011, when it was decided that we should have an event which was a bit different from the usual.

So I decided to try and see if there was any interest in a camping/caravanning weekend.  I chose the site at Lower Lacon because it was a site I had been to before and I knew the facilities were family-friendly.

The event is extremely informal, no judging or prize givings, just an opportunity to spend a weekend with fellow Rover enthusiasts.  This is not a Club do  and anyone who has an interest in Rovers is welcome, whether they can arrive in one or not!

For full details of the site’s facilities, booking, location and directions please go to  their web site.

If you want to join in the weekend please book directly with the campsite quoting “Rovercamp 2012″. 

The rates agreed were £20 per night for a full 120 sq metre pitch with electric hook up, or £10 per night for a smaller tent sharing a pitch.

We have been given our own area which is close to the facilities but separate from the rest of the site. As this is the beginning of the school holidays you may wish to stay longer than the weekend.

Please indicate below if you are coming and tell us a little about yourself.

 

Any questions please email me at paul(at)thersr.org

I look forward to seeing you there and lets hope for some good weather.

Paul.

    A definatley good idea Paul. A lot of other car clubs (notably in my experience, the MMOC, Morris Minor Owners Club) have for years arranged several camping holidays originally on mainland Europe but more recently in UK. Years ago Christine and I had a Conway Camping Trailer and enjoyed countless holidays when living in Belgium and France. However these days we are (much) older and thus softer!! Also our P2 16HP isn’t in the habit of either towing tarers of carryng lots of kit…. So we wont be there. Hope the initiative brings lots of new blood in to the RSR and an increased membership of enthusiasts of later Rovers. Tim Moore. Isle of Skye. NW Scotland.
