We will be supplying Tea and Coffee from 10.00 until 16.00 each day in the club house , please bring your own cups ( The bar will not be open until new years eve but you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks all day and evening

I have been asked about attendees bringing biscuits / cakes for the tea and coffee table , the answer is yes , but they must be sealed and not after the sell by date

Leisure Battery Charging Points

We will have 4 leisure battery charging points available from 10am until 18.00pm , there will be no extra charge to use this facility but they will have to be booked 24 hours in advance and will be limited to 4 hours use per booking .If you book to use the charging point you will have to move your van to the side of the building were the charging points will be allocated. Disabled and people with a medical condition will be able to use them from 18.00pm until we close the club at 22.30pm . IMPORTANT the charging points will only be battery charging points and under no circumstances should they be used for heating or other uses , they will only be 5 AMP and you will blow the fuse if you use anything else other than your battery charger
