Important NFOL2011 News

August 11th, 2011

Central Counties Region would like to thank all Club members for their bookings at the NFOL2011 Newark and Notts showground.

“Due to the event being full we have now had to close all further bookings for this event “

The show ground will hold around 2500 units. When this number was getting close negotiations with the showground management resulted in an area being made available for a further 100 pitches.

These pitches have now been filled and unfortunatley there is no more land available.

The organising committee respectfully ask units not to turn up “Unbooked” as there is no room available.

Central Counties THS which is open from Friday 12th August is very close to the NFOL but has to close during the NFOL event and re~opens on  Monday 29th August

Central Couties Region would like to appologise to all dissapointed members and thank all members for their support
