The VW season is upon
us again and it
is
time to think about those events throughout the year. 2008 saw the
first Shoe County September Sleepover held at Billing Aquadrome in
Northampton. In 2009 and 2010 the event moved to the excellent Grendon
Hall in
Northamptonshire and here attendance was excellent helped by the good
weather and we
are hoping for more of the same in 2011.
This year the event is again held for Charity and this year we are
sharing the charity donations between Crazy Hats Breast Cancer and The
Multiple Sclerosis Trust. The Hall is an impressive stately home with
beautiful
grounds and fantastic facilities for camping. We have secured the venue
at a special cost, ensuring as much money can go to the charities as is
possible. The organisers make no money from the event and we rely on
volunteers and donations to ensure income for the charity is kept to a
maximum and expenditure is kept to a minimum
So just when you thought the season was over, a gem pops up like the
SCSS 11 to give that camping gear and BBQ one more airing before it
goes back in the shed for another cold winter.
