JP/Pryde Series 3 - Poole, Sandbanks
Sat 12th - Sun 13th September
Venue
Beautiful Poole Bay needs little introduction with its miles of golden sandy beaches and Poole Harbour is the biggest natural harbour in Europe. Competition will take place at Sandbanks (sea front or harbour).
Parking/Camping
In previous years large campervans withtrailers have taken up as many as four car parking spaces each by spreadingthemselves out inconsiderately.
Parking and rigging on the tarmac car park - please fill the car park from the left as you enter. The council will be enforcing these parking rules:
- No Caravans in the car park.
- No trailers in the car park.
- No rigging or setting up kites in the car park.
- No large camper vans (5 space only available) – all vehicles must fit in the marked bays.
- Large vans / caravans and trailers can park on the road.
- No Visual sleeping – The laws say no sleeping in the car park if you behave they will leave you alone.
- Break the rules and you will get a ticket.
We are working with Car Parks on this to secure the future of this event, last year cost the organisers and car parks a lot of time looking for van owners. Please when you arrive park as well as you can, stick a £1 or so in the meter and then go and register where you will be given you car park pass, this must have your Registration number and name on it to make it valid.
The council have agreed we will be able to park for free and overnight.
It is possible that the council may cone off an area in the carpark for the exclusive use of campervans, this area would be limited and parking will have to be strictly controlled.
Facilities
Toilets on promenade and in car park.
Refreshments
Beach Cafe and other local cafes.
Directions
