ALL of the pitches are on HARDSTANDING , The venue is less than 10 minutes off the M6 motorway
EHU will be available for everyone but limited to 4 hours time slots from 10.00 am until 18.00 pm and because we are going to have to split the electric points this service will only be 3 amp, so leisure battery charging only, anything else will trip the switch and the other vans who are charging off the same circuit as you will not be happy. A time slot will have to be booked for this service and booked 24hrs in advance, the cost for this service will be £TBC for 4 hours . If you have booked to have ehu overnight from 19.00 pm until 8.00 am then the cost for this will be £TBC. Sorry for the way we have distributed the ehu points, but this is the only fair way that we can make sure everyone has enough power for the duration of their stay. If you intend to use this service then please bring your long EHU lead or even two, AND ALSO A SPLITTER. This service is being overseen by trotter (Derek) and all bookings will have to be booked through Trotter without exception, he/she will have the final say and decisions on how this will be distributed, anyone who does not agree with the above and tries to run fridges /heating etc and keeps tripping the power will be unplugged and at Trotters discretions could / will not be invited to use this service again

Local amenities
Only a 5-minute walk from the club you can find a Post Office, grocery shop, fish and chip shop, hairdresser and traditional sweet shop. You can also find Goosnargh Tennis Club and the beautiful medieval church of St Mary's, dating from approximately 1281. They're also a wide range of excellent restaurants and pubs serving fine food in the immediate area, including the local specialities of Goosnargh duck, Goosnargh cakes, and famous local cheeses from Mrs Kirkham's, Blacksticks and Singletons. The famously haunted Chingle Hall is but a half-mile stroll across the fields.
Further afield (3 miles) is the delightful market town of Longridge – the gateway to the Ribble Valley, Clitheroe and beyond. Sainsbury’s, Booths and The Co-operative supermarkets can all be found in Longridge along with a host of specialist shops and a full range of takeaways, many of which will deliver to the site.
Exploring the area
The new City of Preston (7 miles) offers extensive shopping opportunities whilst Garstang (6 miles) is another “must-see” market town. Beacon Fell Country Park along with the Bleasdale Fells, form the backdrop to our village. This is a proper walking country easily reached (3 miles) by an extensive network of country lanes. Brock Bottoms (2 miles), on the way to Beacon Fell, offers leafy glades, cool clear pools and the gentle River Brock. This is a magic place where children can safely paddle, whilst your dog can swim in the deeper pools - an ideal picnic spot!
The Club is an ideal base for visiting local attractions such as the Roman camp at Ribchester, the ruins of the 14th Century Cistercian Abbey at Whalley and the famous Trough of Bowland whose lovely winding paths are popular with fell walkers and casual strollers alike.
