Plans are being worked on. probably a rally site not far from Stafford, with a day at the show and a good social on the Friday and Saturday nights.

22nd - 24th April 2016

Keep watching the forum, details should be published soon.

Went for a ride to the Haberdashers Arms this afternoon, I didn't go in as I had to get home before my lad came home from school. Looks OK to me a bit rough around the edges though, like a proper old styli country pub.

There is a huge field round the back with loads of room for bikes camping and vans (if you really feel the need to take one).
There are loads of nice little country lanes around the area, but be careful not to get carried away riding round them or you might run out of petrol.Image

Luckily there is a petrol station not to far from the pub.

It looks a right dump to me. Makes me feel like a gippo just looking at it.

The sort of place where you walk in and the room goes quiet and then banjos start playing.....

There must be better options than that?

Easy there Steve, just because those vans arnt as pretty as yours, its just a field outside a tatty pub. 100% of the reviews Ive read rave about it being friendly etc
All we need is a field.
There is no electrical hookup but Im sure your battery will survive a couple of evenings?

Im looking forward to it.
