Bongo Fest South West 10th to 14th September

Post by Ian » Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:46 am

Once again this meeting will take place at Camping Caradon between Looe and Polperro. We have 56 electric pitches at £16 per night and 4 non-electric pitches at £13 per night. The minimum booking requirement is 2 nights. The bar is open but there is currently no food available. There will be no Saturday night BBQ this year. Booking commences Thursday 23rd July by telephone only on 0114-2550836.

We have held the Bongo Fest South West in September for the last 16 years. But now it's time for a change. From 2021 it will be held in April, still at the same venue, and will be renamed (optimistically) Springtime in the South West.

Slow take up but that's understandable. We have 29 electric pitches left.

10 - 14 September.

Can't persuade Mrs B on this one, she doesn't fancy Cornwall - Eastnor - Plymouth in a short time frame. :?

Well done all those who attended for obeying the social distancing rules. And well done to Dylan Cook (below) for winning this year's crabbing competition. Not only did he inherit the trophy for 12 months he also received a crab money box and some other naff prize.

And here's some close up shots of the trophy itself. No expense spared, especially the quality engraving on the rear.
