Good Afternoon All,

Yesterday I was fortunate to attend the CL of the Year awards for 2017, where I got to meet our Regional Winner, 2 joint winners and celebrate their achievements with them.

The award ceremony took place yesterday afternoon at the Houses of Parliament.

 

The Regional Winner this year was Low Moor Head Farm,

A CL site which has been on a CL site since 2005. It is a family run site managed by Owen and Adele along with their son Owen. The site is located on a working beef and sheep farm on the Duddon Estuary in Cumbria close to the Scottish Border. Adele also has a collection of Chickens and Ducks and treats her guests to complimentary eggs. The site is also home to Shetland Ponies, 3 Donkeys and 2 Pigmy Goats.  

Low Moor Head has previously come in 2nd Place for the National Award in 2013 and Regional Winners in 2009, 2010 and 2015

 

Our Joint 2nd Place winners are Welltrough Hall Farm and Meadow Bank Farm are both relatively new to running CL sites.

Welltrough Hall Farm is owned by Nick and is situated on a 270 acre working farm in Cheshire and opened just over 18 months ago as a brand new CL Site.  He offers fully serviced hard-standing pitches overlooking the Cheshire countryside, a 3 km dog walk on site and warm dog showers.

Local Pubs are close by along with easy access to Tatton Park, Arley Hall and Gardens and many more attractions.

Nick has thoroughly enjoyed his experience running a CL site and meeting our members and looks forward to many more years with the Club.

 

Meadow Bank Farm is owned and run by Tim and Catherine and opened their site just over 1 year ago after moving from the Midlands to the New Forest after finding their dream home. Meadow Bank Farm was a Certificated Location Site in the past which they refurbished and reopened. Located on 5 Acres which used to be an old Dairy Farm, it is 30 minutes from the beach and walking distance to a local pub. The site also has its own therapy room where members can enjoy massages, nutritional information and other holistic therapies.

Tim and Catherine have loved their CL experience and it has meant a great deal to them that members have voted for them.

Thank you to everyone who voted for their favourite CL sites.

Looks like a thread here. Cls out pricing themselves or getting ready to move commercial.

If you now add the regional winners the theme appears to continue. There's only one, Wood Kiln, which charges below £16 pn, and well below at that!!  And a great site it is too.
