    Only a few minutes away from Towneley.

    There is no camping allowed unfortunately in Towneley Park itself due to security etc. Something we're looking in to for next year though is having a dedicated sealed off camping area with security.

    The parking is right next to the show field and is manned at all times during the day by event staff with 2way radio's should they need any assistance. In addition where the tickets are sold is also next to the parking area so in total about 4 or 5 event staff in or around the field most of the day.

    Better than National Day ;) :D

    An idea of numbers would have always been preferable but we've located the display in an area where space wouldn't be an issue so no on that basis!

    We have also arranged for stand space for RSOC members who aren't part of any other organised display or local group.

    Cheers for those options Dave. The closest according to Autoroute is:
    http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=3100

    I have tried ringing this one but it's also an answerphone!

    After that this one is half an hour away but as Monster said a damn good road.

    Can we please have a show of hands on who actually wants to camp?

    I dont have a figure of how many people are camping which makes it extremely difficult to find somewhere as most of the sites in this area are quite small, all the big sites are fully booked up now and its nigh on impossible to arrange anything without knowing how many pitches are needed.
