Sandy Balls Holiday Village presents
Congratulations to the brilliant artist Poppy age 11 who has won our Owners Christmas eCard competition and won themselves a Children’s Christmas Hamper!
Park Life Since re-opening in April we have been busier than ever before and I hope that you have been able to visit your holiday home and enjoy your stays.
Adrian Evans
General Manager
2021 has been a challenging year, from the easing of government restrictions to double jabs and the ‘pingdemic’, we hope that we have been able to maintain continuity throughout. The whole team at Sandy Balls would like to thank you for your understanding to any changes around these obstacles this season.
This year we have the most Holiday Home Owners we have ever had, totalling over 150 holiday homes with only 1 or 2 pitches unallocated! I know many of you sublet your holiday homes through us and more of you have joined our subletting scheme this year too earning some good income returns. Thank you for supporting the scheme and signing up. We recently have sent out our ‘2022 Guide to Subletting’ so please take a look and send in your sublet dates soon. In 2022 we are excited for the £350k investment into our Village Store refurbishment including a Deli and Coffee area. This will take a few weeks, so we’ll have to “shut up shop” for a little while (dates to be announced soon), so please come a little more stocked up when you visit during this time.

What’s happening at
Aubrey’s will close on the 10th January for 10 days to get a mini facelift & refresh, The Woodside will be open throughout this time though, and by mid to late January we will be back to normal with everything open again. We also have considerable investment again in areas like machinery, tree management, operating systems and in our Team. We’ve just bought a mini road sweeper, keeping the park tidy of leaves is a mammoth task here and this should help us to manage the park appearance even better during the Autumn and Winter months. To make sure all that all this happens effectively we have just employed a new Grounds Manager Jon Scarlett Phillips. Sadly, Abi Ball our Owner Experience Manger is leaving us to pursue a role with P&O Cruises, we thank Abi for her time with us and wish her every success in her future. We have been busy recruiting for Abi’s replacement and we should have our new Owner Experience Manager recruited by the time this newsletter lands. We will of course welcome and introduce them very soon, so please keep an eye out for news on third place social and in the next newsletter. We will be open throughout Christmas and New Year and we are very much looking forward to our Christmas and New Year parties, plus our wonderful Forest of Light experience that I hope you get to come and see. We have a much more extensive Owner Events calendar planned for 2022 too, (to be revealed soon), and we hope that you can attend some of these along the way next year! On behalf of all the team here we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
