Important Information about Free WSCC Camping

 

Our ability to offer free camping for volunteers has been impacted over the last couple of years by current, ex and non-Members using the area when they are specifically not providing the Club with their services over the show weekend. The arrangements we have with Stoneleigh and Grosvenor Events are on a first come first pitch basis and for WSCC Members and families who are supporting the Club by way of volunteering their time over the show weekend.

This arrangement has been sanctioned by our hosts but it has come to their attention that not everyone on the WSCC pitch has a valid right to be there. In essence this erodes the cash takings for the show ground as it results in a drop in takings for chargeable camping and of course makes us look bad.

Therefore, the Club needs to specifically remind you that:

 

• Camping is available to show volunteers only
• Being a Member does not automatically entitle you to camp for free on the WSCC campsite
• You will only be able to camp if you have a wristband and these will be checked
• Electricity hook-ups are available however, this costs money so please treat these with due respect for others usage and everyone’s safety
• Noise MUST be kept to a minimum
• There should be no noise on the Camp site after 11:00 PM
• Sorry, no dogs
• The Public Camping Area is to be used as overspill if needed (free of charge for volunteers)
• Members who are NOT volunteering their time should use the Public Camping Area
• The WSCC Camping Area will be signposted and roped off
• The WSCC Camping Area will monitored by WSCC and Stoneleigh Security
• Those who fail to produce a valid wristband or other authority to camp will be asked to relocate immediately, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions
• Those who decide to not comply with any of the above will also be asked to relocate immediately

As daft as it sounds, we will be policing this. We don’t really want to, it really does sound daft but we do not want to bring the Club into disrepute or upset our hosts, our neighbours, or the Members and their families who provide the Club with their time.

We hope you understand.
