THE TWELFTH LAKELAND GATHERING 2008
CAMPING AND SPARES WEEKEND
20th June - 22nd June 2008
Cumbria Branch is hosting the twelfth Lakeland Gathering at the COCKERMOUTH Rugby Club. Come and enjoy all the attractions of the Lake District in the good company of fellow SAAB enthusiasts.
Change of Venue
As Keswick club were not willing to have dogs as well as SAABs, it has been decided to hold this year’s Gathering at the COCKERMOUTH rugby club. We will have the use of a club house during the evenings, and access to the shower and toilet facilities. There is no need to book in advance and at £6.50 per unit per night you would struggle to find better value. Day visitors are also very welcome.
