      This will take a while to load, but it's well worth the wait.

      Well done to Steve on capturing this stunning image!

      Sheila posted a topic in Kelling 2022,

      I need to know who is booking for Kelling 2022 as this year I only have till mid November to sort out before the pitches go back for others to book.  I will let you all know booking references before Kelling for those who have confirmed they want to go

    • Kelling 2022 20.9.22 to 27.9.22

      Important: Kelling 2022

      Sheila posted a topic in Kelling 2022,

      That time of year again.  Please can you let me know if you want pitches for 2022 and I will see if I can reserve them again,  Not sure they will as we have
      e mails saying they will only hold pitches until 8.11.21
       
      I will do my best to sort it all out again if they allow, but you must let me know asap if you will be going.  We do not want to lose the best pitches if we can avoid it.
      They are asking for folks to book via phone which should be fun as they are not too good at answering the phone  LOL
       
      Also I note that there are extra charges now for awnings and dogs I think.
       
      Please let me know asap
       
      Look forward to seeing you all this year as we have had a long gap and I have forgotten how to use my kit 😁
       
      Thanks

      Sharing Images

      Craig posted a topic in Beginner Area,

      If you'd like to share images in your posts on EMS, the following guides will show you five ways of doing this.
       
      The guides do not show you how to use each of the services, only how to share an image you've already uploaded.
