Hi folks. Thelma is looking forward to welcoming us back to Porthclais Farm campsite, just outside St. David’s, 14-19 August.
As last year, she would like one centralised booking, so please can you reserve your spot through me.
Reservations made by paying a deposit of 1 night’s accommodation – and then I’ll collect balances IN CASH PLEASE during the meet
£10 pppn camping
£5 per child 4-12 per night
£2 per dog per night
£25 per campervan per night (inc up to 2 adults)
Please can you send deposits to me (1 night as above) letting me know YOUR NAME, planned number of nights and arrival departure days.
Note, you only pay for the number of nights you stay, so if you plan 5 nights but only stay 1-2-3-4, that’s all you pay.

Fingers crossed for no named storm this year; just the weather we had before and after the one which visited us briefly last year.
