Bookings

Jessica and I are in charge (or so we like to think anyway) for the next few days as Richard and Alison have headed off to the Caravan Show in the New Forrest.  They are on the hunt for some new static caravans for River Valley Holiday Park, our other site a mile up the road.  So I am here writing the blog whilst Jessica is in her highchair attempting some colouring and waiting for guests to wave at.

This weekend sees our first rally on the park with the us welcoming the Camping and Caravan Club - Cornwall District Association.  It is the first of many rallies planned over the next twelve months - we just hope the weather brightens slightly for them as right now it is a bit murky.  This rally is happening in the main touring field however we have a large rally field which is ideal for rallies, groups of friends, clubs or even as a wedding location.  If you would like to find out more about holding a group event in the rally field please give me (Heidi) a call on 01726 843687.  This weekends rally will see a caravan/motor home window decorating competition which we have the important role of judging along with a pasty supper on Saturday night.

It has been an exciting week here at Little Winnick, we are finally getting a super doper booking system.  In times gone by Judith and John used to run their holiday businesses from a chalk board and a note book.  Now I will let you into a secret, at the beginning of the season we didn't know how busy we would be, we had missed all the big advertising opportunities and after another very wet winter we were slightly nervous about the weather.  So we took the bold decision to run the booking systems on an excel spreadsheet not too dissimilar to the old systems Judith and John used.  My, what a decision that was.  Not only were we busy, but we were full most of August so I am sure you can imagine I had a few sleepless nights worrying about double bookings and whether the excel spreadsheet and more to the point whether we were up to the challenge.  Luckily it all went okay but I could not go through another season juggling over 90 pitches like that.  So within the coming months you will be able to check availability and make bookings on line.

Talking of bookings, you can now book for the 2014 season by giving us a call.  We already have a lot of bookings coming in.  If you have stayed with us before and would like a specific pitch or pitches please do give us a call and we will do our best to reserve it for you.

This week has seen diggers on site.  It has made us smile all the speculation we have heard about what people think we are doing.  Despite some interesting rumors we are merely tidying the bottom field and finishing some clearing work we started earlier in the year.   I am myself hoping to get down to the bottom field for half an hour on Saturday to harvest the last of the blackberries to keep us going over the winter.

The week will end with a bit of a party for us.  On Friday nigall the staff from Tregongeeves, Little Winnick and River Valley are off out for our end of season/Christmas party!  I am sure it must be one of the earliest Christmas parties but some of our team head off for hotter climes over the winter so they like to have a celebration early.  We are all heading to the Polgooth Inn for tea.
