The nature of the site requires all persons to be self sufficient. The gas/water left on site are there for the use of the committee during meetings and events such as open days run by the committee

Please sign in every day, including each morning when staying over, for insurance purposes.

Replacement gas bottles are available from: Holgates Holiday Park, Middlebarrow Plain, Cove Road ,Silverdale, Lancashire, LA5 0SH 01524 701508

Lawns are maintained by the committee. We try to keep within the no-noise-after-midday rule, unfortunately this is not always possible.

Chimera – Please bring BBQ coals if you wish to BBQ. Logs are kept to the side for everyone’s use, please remember someone has to gather and cut the wood. You can gather fallen branches and tree litter off the forest floor to burn, but no trees or branches are to be cut down

Fire – The use of off-the-ground fire pits is required. Please observe fire precautions, we recommend a personal fire extinguisher. Again wood can be gathered from the forest floor only. There are various wood piles around the site you can use but again please bear in mind someone has to gather and cut it.

White tables & chairs for general use will be found in the clubhouse (accessible when a member is on site). Please sit on your own towel, and return tables & chairs after use. Picnic tables are always accessible. Feel free to move these to suit your needs; please return to the lawns at the end of your visit. A selection of deckchairs etc marked with MBNC are in the shed which people may use at their own risk (accessible when a member is on site).

The lawn outside the clubhouse

Please take your rubbish home as we have no facilities to dispose of it.

Waste water can be disposed of in the hedgerows within reason, but toilet water should go home with you. If staying on site and you need it to be emptied, please ask a committee for advice.

Feel free to camp in any clearing; your vehicle can remain on your pitch. Overflow camping is on the top lawn but vehicles must stay on the car park (an exception may be made for people with disabilities, please try to ask the committee first). Please do not camp on the lawn outside the clubhouse.
