Around 1969 a group of Camping Club members decided that some good sites were becoming un used as members were starting to buy caravans. The access to some sites were only suitable for a single car (no 4x4 back then) and those sites were being seen as unsuitable to caravans.
By 1970 the so called Tent Camping Group was formed, it was a big success and still accepted by the main Camping Club, the new group then found their own sites or used those that had been a part of the calender for years.
This is the North West Tent Camping Group, I would say it was the annual FOL or to give its the full name Feast of Lanterns,when we all dressed up and had lights on the tents.
Doreen McBride is third from the left with the long dark hair. Caravans were still welcome as long as they could access the field.
