There have been several changes at the park over the last few months, the main one being the sad passing away of Alf at the grand old age of 97 years. Thank you very much for all the cards and donations we received for St Wilfred’s Hospice they are very much appreciated. Grey Tower Caravan Park won’t be the same without him….

Our new Park warden Tony is well and truly settled in now and enjoying his new role. No doubt you’ve seen him riding around on the new quad towing Don’s specially commissioned trailer complete with recycling compartments. The morning chore of bin collecting has never been so easy or efficient – not sure what Alf would have made of it though! 

Please continue to separate your rubbish in to the recycling bins so we can continue to do our bit for the environment. We hope that the first half of the 2008 season has been a good one and look forward to seeing you throughout the rest of the season be it in thermals, wellies or flip flops! 

AND FINALLY….. 

Could all caravan users ensure that visitors to the park make themselves known to Reception especially if they are staying overnight. We endeavour to keep your caravans and property safe and secure at all times and unknown visitors to the Park are becoming a security issue. 

Additionally please ensure that all caravan users are aware that sanitary items must not be put down the toilets in static units or in the toilet block as it blocks the waste system on the Park. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. 

Following problems with stray golf balls causing damage to property on the park now that Bay View Golf course has opened for business the owners have erected a fence in order to eradicate this problem. We are keeping a diary of when any golf balls are found on our land and any subsequent damage they cause so please inform us if you have any problems relating to the golf course. 

A reminder for your diaries – the closing date for the 2008 season is Friday 31^st October and we re-open on Sunday 1^st March 2009. Please note that deposit payments for the 2009 season will be due on Wednesday 8^th October 2008 with the balance of your pitch fees due on or before Sunday 1^st February 2009. 

And thinking of the end of the season copies of drain down tips for your static caravan can be obtained from the park reception. Alternatively we do have a contact number for the local plumber who will do a drain down at the end of the season and reinstate everything ready for the start of next season for the bargain price of £38.00. We have had problems in the past where units have not been drained down correctly and costly repairs have been necessary to get everything up and running again. You have been warned….
