Dear All

New research from one of Britain’s biggest Caravan Clubs suggests that all of the family can benefit from a touring caravan holiday, not just adults.

Alongside promoting family togetherness, relaxation and social growth, touring holidays help build mental and physical strength, good behaviour and a more cohesive family unit. The Caravanning and Camping Club’s research encompassed more than 60 studies from Liverpool John Moores University, and 87% of children said the countryside made them happy, 73% of adults feel camping is something all children should do, 59% of adults think camping should be part of the National Curriculum, and nearly 80% of children want to go camping.

Caravanning can also help children become interested in the world around them and make them more attentive. We at Cover4Caravans have noted the average age of our client base is 52, and many families are taking to caravanning as a cheaper family holiday instead of expensive foreign jaunts.

Dear All

It is my other halfs birthday on Monday so this weekend sees us having a family meal and she will be shopping with her mother on the day whilst I babysit, I am looking forward to spending some quiet time without her!! I have the week off so we have some activities planned and hopefully we can have a lunch together at some point.

The working week has been very quiet with the weather being so bright I think everyone has gone away so if you are away I hope you are having a great time.

I have my Team One To Ones this morning which is always enlightening and a chance to motivate not just the Team but inadvertently myself!!!

Have a great day

Dear All

Well the sun is finally out here in Southend, we may actually be in for some good weather for a sustained period. If this keeps up a trip to the park could be on for the weekend.

I say star spotting, but only in a football sense. I was at Dagenham last night for our game with Peterborough and Barry Fry, Tony Cottee and Alex Ferguson’s son, Darren were there. I was suprised at some of the industrial language used by Ferguson Junior but in hindsight it was not much of a shock!

Hopefully the sun will mean that you can all get out in your caravans to a nice UK destination to keep the economy running smoothly (as smoothly as possible!) so if you are out caravanning have a great time…and don’t forget your insurance!!

The Bank Holiday was a welcome break as always, mine is extended by a couple of days as we are heading off to Legoland in Windsor tomorrow, we are staying overnight in a hotel and then back to the park again on the Wednesday.

We booked the break through the Legoland webiste and it was a pretty good deal, we took the option to include the Qbot things aswell – not quite sure what they do but if they can reduce ride queueing times then I am all for that.

Have you been? Let me know how your trip was, I will share all upon my return on Thursday, and those belated Spring Fair photos and blogs will arrive.

Visit www.legoland.com for more information. No rain dances please.

We have lots of giveaways at the event including: -

• iPod Shuffles to give away every hour
• iPod nano to win
• Portable Bose Speaker system to win for your caravan or motor home
• Pens

And you get the chance to meet us, the team attending will be: -

1. Sophie Morris
2. Sian Mansfield

We are very much looking forward to seeing many of you over the weekend.

Have a great day.
