Zumba comes to Camping la Raudiere in 2012. Be ready.

The Big Clean

It doesn't feel like spring yet but I've started the spring clean anyway - in the bar that is! Everything is being scrubbed and polished and a few new pictures being added. Even some of the cobwebs are coming down from the roof - notice I say some - have you seen how high the roof is?
Five minutes after we open - on friday 30th March, you won't be able to tell the difference but I can assure you the cleaning has been done.
Our big project is underway - some nice new decking outside the bar with a covered area for relaxing.
Our first customers on the campsite arrive on Saturday, it is still pretty cold so I hope they are bring lots of blankets. Hopefully it will be warm and sunny by the time easter comes along.
Looking forward to seeing you all......

Cold Spell

Well it has been freezing here reaching -15 degrees - I think. Thankfully we were away on holiday in the sun! There was still snow on the ground when we got back and our water had frozen so not a comfortable first night back.
Now is the time to get stuck in, we are thinking about the new season, we have some projects on the go and the bookings are flooding in. Our main project is the bar terrace, it is being completely renovated and we hope you will like it. We have some ideas for entertainment and if you have any let us know. We were lucky enought o have a week in the Carribean so one of our theme nights will be ......you guessed it - Carribean night with red yellow and green everywhere and topped up with rum cocktails.
This winter I have got my licence to be a Zumba instructor so there will be regular saturday morning Zumba classes - don't forget to bring your sports gear.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon......

Winter shut down

This photo was taken 2 years ago and we are lucky enough not to have had any snow yet but a fair bit of rain this week. It has only just starting feeling like winter though. Everything is closed down on the site and it is extremely peaceful most of the time. We have started a couple of projects for next year - some improvements to the bar and have already done quite a lot of maintenance and upkeep. The park might be shut but there is always work to do.

We are looking forward to hearing from you all in 2012 and hoping to see you here in France........Merry Christmas from Tracy and Pete

One of our theme nights this year was NEON BRIGHTS night. As you can see from the photos everyone joined in. We also celebrated a few birthdays on the same night with cake and sparkling wine. There were glowsticks and fluorescent colours everywhere and we finished the evening by letting chinese lanterns float off into the sky!

Sorry I haven't blogged for ages - it has been a crazy summer. Look out for some photos in the next few days. We have had some great live music, theme nights and of course a bouncy castle for the little (and big) ones! The weather has been changeable but everyone has used the pool regardless. It is the first time in 16 years I've seen hailstones in August!
Dizzy was a star this summer and managed to keep us going even when we were rushed off our feet. You never know what is going to happen each day. I hope everyone that came had a great holiday and I look forward to seeing all the photos......

Quiz Night

Quiz night last was a great for success - for the team of Bruce Almighty anyway. Well done. And surprisingly no one argued with the quiz master this week - maybe that's because everyone has learnt that it doesn't do any good!
