Ground Conditions and notices
Due to the generally dreadful conditions prevailing through most of the last two camping seasons, I intend to make a brief note here whenever the situation gets difficult through this season. Readers may safely assume that, in the absence of a note here, or if the note is old (over 3-4 weeks old), ground conditions are acceptable and should not present difficulties to the average camper/caravanner.

Gloucestershire Masonic Housing Project
The Gloucestershire Masonic Housing Committee administers and controls retirement flats which were purchased by the Provincial Grand Charity of Gloucestershire to provide housing for persons in need of accommodation in the county. Although the flats are intended in the first place for Freemasons and their dependants or widows, this is not exclusively the case. E-mail address:- housing.committee@huntley-glos.demon.co.uk. More details are on these pages.
St John the Baptist Huntley Restoration Appeal Fund
The Restoration Appeal Fund for the Parish Church of St John the Baptist was inaugurated in 1997 and formally launched in 1998 with a view to raising about £160,000.00 for the repair and restoration of this most important Victorian building. People who are interested in Victoriana in general and the works of S S Teulon in particular will want to read these pages. Whilst we are no longer involved in the day-to-day activities we undertake to pass on any contacts to the current Committee. Whilst the major part of the funds originally required has been raised, as so often happens there have been a series of additional (and urgent) requirements which have surfaced, making the need for more funds just as important. The e-mail address for the Fund is:- appeal.fund@huntley-glos.demon.co.uk.
Huntley Relief in Need Charity
The Huntley Relief in Need Charity is a very ancient Registered Charity, starting out its life as ‘The Huntley Poor Lands Charity’ in about 1647, and has continued in its own small way to this day. A full history is included in its pages. The e-mail address is:- relief.charity@huntley-glos.demon.co.uk.
