seems dated are supposed to be 29th Sept to 3rd October, nothing official yet though.  Last year you could not book as


early as we did previous years, kelling were reluctant to take any bookings pre September.  Will keep my eye on it and let you know

Ta for the updates Sheila, it'll be fun if they open bookings during this years event, imagine the scene at reception :-) :-)

Yes I've been watching for the dates as well. I think we're just waiting for Norwich or Loughton AS to confirm officially and Kelling to open bookings. :)

Yes - I just spoke with them to extend this years booking for our pitch - and they they said they can't confirm the 2016 dates yet - but they say 2016 dates will go on sale "sometime" after this years event.

I doubt very much it will be after this years event, it is never that late :D  but the date is blocked off by them in their calendar for the dates

above so I can only assume this is correct, as I cant think of anything else that would block up Kelling at the end of September :lol:

"I doubt very much it will be after this years event"


 


I tend to agree with you there Sheila - I always come away with doubts after talking to the reception girls who rarely seem to have a legit straight up correct story.


 


Though in the old system many moons ago before EMS started at Kelling - they used to sell next years pitches on the morning of the Sunday of this years event. It was a nightmare cos there was always a queue a mile long by 8am outside reception with everyone trying to get the best pitches lol.


 


It's always baffled me why they make such a fuss of it - once they have agreed dates with the organisers it ought to be very straight forward for them to start selling pitches. Beats me :dontknow::rolleyes2:

I never understand the folks who book the red field and don't turn up, it was half empty last year.

Just a heads up, since the pitches at kelling are known to be pretty big, If anyone wanted to come along this year, but didn't get a space, you are more than welcome to share my pitch as I only have a really small tent, providing Kelling have no issues with it (I'll check with them if someone decides they want to come), just drop me a PM or reply here.
