JANUARY 2009

 

Welcome to the Grey Tower Caravan Park spring newsletter. Its been all go as usual through out the winter months with the Grey Tower team hard at work in plenty of wind, a significant amount of rain and even some snow (especially the team members that reside in Yorkshire!)

 

We have completed the latest phase of electricity work required by Wealden District Council, which never really affects the residents of the park but can give us a few headaches from time to time. However the moving round of fuse boxes and some other essential electrical work has meant that we were able to have a rearrangement of the toilet block resulting in a new and improved laundry room. The new set up should make sorting your smalls a lot easier in a bigger room with more work surface and tidier sinks. We’re also planning to have better weather throughout the open season so you might even be able to hang your essentials out for an airing instead of having to resort to using the dryer all the time – but don’t hold us to it, we can’t perform miracles!

 

As I write Sonia is currently taking some well earned rest following a knee operation but tells us that she feels much better than she did before the op and is looking forward to trotting round the park in her usual sprightly manner come the spring time….

 

And Tony is toasting himself on a beach somewhere topping up his mahogany tan – he was suffering sunshine withdrawal symptoms so has taken the opportunity for a bit of a break whilst its quiet before we start the spring rush  - a whole month earlier than we used to prepare for your arrival.

 

We thought we’d continue to tax your brains - with a Suduko this time – its starting to tax ours even more devising them. As usual there’s the usual packet of biscuits up for grabs for the first person to present a completed and correct Suduko to the park office. Here’s to a happy 2009 season …

GREY TOWER CARAVAN PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAN

 

Now this sounds very grand doesn’t it? Its not really, we just like to make it sound that way as it gives us an excuse for having extended tea breaks whilst we’re pondering what to do next.

 

We are at present in the process of researching the best way of putting a new reception building on the site of the old garages. The redevelopment of this area will of course depend on whether we can obtain planning permission but we are aware that Grey Towers has well and truly outgrown our current reception/shed! As cute as it is its not the easiest space to work in and we could do with somewhere a bit more spacious if only so you can all have somewhere to gather for a catch up on all the latest gossip!

 

We will keep you posted as to the progress of the project, however we will need several more tea and flapjack breaks before any major decisions can be made!

 

AND FINALLY

 

In the event that the credit crunch is biting and you’re dreading having to pay your rent balance in a lump sum in February don’t forget that we can set up direct debits in order to pay for it on a monthly basis instead. There’s only one form to fill in which you then take to your bank to authorise payments. Please contact the park reception for more information.

 

The opening date for the 2009 season is Sunday 1st March. Please note that balance payments for the 2009 season are due on or before Sunday 1st February 2009.

 

On a more cheerful note if you like nothing better than messing about on the water as well as in it we currently have some boat berths available to hire on an annual basis. Please contact the park reception for more information.

 

Additionally as we go to press – sounds good, going to press, we have new printer you see – it does everything except make the tea, we have a new static caravan on order which we hope to have fully sited on B field at the start of the 2009 season. It will be open for viewings as soon as it is fully installed so if you would like a guided tour track down Sonia or Tony who will be happy to oblige….
