Storage boxes
It’s hard to believe that we are already half way through the year and it’s great to see how busy our park has been already. Easter was particularly busy this year for us and it seems it was nationwide too with VisitEngland reporting that 6.6 million Britons opted to holiday in the in the UK during the long bank holiday weekend, up 10 per cent on last year’s figures. It’s been a busy year for our amazingly hard-working team at Away Resorts HQ and across our six parks – yes, six parks. At the start of 2017, we acquired the much-loved and extremely well-known Sandy Balls Holiday Village in the New Forest National Park. A welcome addition to the Away Resorts family, the five-star holiday village is located between Godshill and Fordingbridge. It has a wide range of accommodation including luxury woodland lodges, static holiday homes, camping pods and safari tents as well as fully serviced touring pitches. There are also plans afoot to introduce some new accommodation to Sandy Balls that will be available to buy so if you are looking at new locations to own holiday homes, look no further than this little piece of heaven in the New Forest.
Summer bookings are looking strong too, which just goes to show there really is no place like home. If you are looking to sublet your holiday home, please get in touch as it’s a great way to earn some money to help towards your fees. Guest services have all the information you need on this. Finally, if you fancy yourself as a keen photographer, check out our photography competition and you could be getting your hands on a £50 Love2Shop voucher. As always my door is always open if you need anything
New App arriving soon
The brand new Away Resorts App will be launched very soon. With fantastic features including; booking activities, checking out what’s on, owners event listings, ordering a gas bottle, and more – watch this space!
We have noticed that some owners are disposing of and dumping some garden waste, turf, cement and electrical goods (i.e refrigerators) by the bins. Unfortunately, these items are not removed by the general refuse collectors so we kindly ask all owners to take these items to the tip, as you would at home. If you need details of the nearest dump/recycling centre, please pop into Guest Services and a member of the team will gladly assist. More info can be found www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/recycle-forlincolnshire/household-waste-rubbishand-recycling/

Just wake
As if the waterpark wasn’t awesome enough, Just Wake have recently finished installing the UK’s largest Aquaglide aqua park at Tattershall Lakes and it looks incredible! Adding on to last years course there is now Super Volleyball, floating trampolines and an inflatable hamster wheel to contend with so the whole family can slide, splash, bounce and leap their way to some serious soggy fun. It’ll be one of the most memorable things you’ll do this summer. Book online at justwake. co.uk for your adrenaline rush.

Just a gentle reminder that all storage boxes must be purchased through the park. Plastic or wooden ones are not permitted. If you require a quote, please pop into Guest Services.
Please make sure that you have your Owners Passes on you whilst you are on the park so that you can take advantage of all the facilities on offer. If you privately sublet your holiday home please also keep in mind that your guests will also need passes which will be available to purchase from Guest Services and will enable them to use the main complex, pools and bars and take part in our great activities.
Contact details Once again, as we do every year, can we please remind our owners to pop into Guest Services when you are next on park to check your contact details with us. It might be that you have moved address, changed your telephone number or e-mail address over the winter and we need to know. Sometimes we need to get messages or updates out to you quickly either by a text message or e-mail so it is important we have the right details so you don’t miss out on relevant park information.
Important announcement Please note that the laws for golf buggies and quadbikes/scooters are the same as the laws for cars when they are on public property and as such children are not permitted to drive around the park. All of our roads are subject to the Highways Act and therefore all vehicles, including golf buggies, require the driver to hold a valid UK driving license and insurance. Please help to keep all our guests and owners safe with responsible road use.
Ordering gas bottles Don’t forget to order gas bottles before 3pm to ensure delivery on the same day. Gas ordered after 3pm will be delivered the following day. We’d hate you to run out so our tip would be to have 2 bottles so that you have a spare for unexpected emergencies and it doesn’t ruin any plans.
1.5% Credit-card charges We have recently introduced a charge for payments made by creditcard. The 1.5% transaction fee applied to credit-card payments covers all costs associated with processing the transaction of which the bank charge is just one element.
Maintenance team No job too small.....sounds like an advert, however it’s true! If you would like us to quote on any maintenance issues or one of those “I’ll do that job later” scenarios, we’ll be only too pleased to help. Pop into Guest Services to find out more.
Health & safety Any Owner that requires contractors to visit them on Park will need to be authorised by Dean Poppy. Please call Guests Services to obtain the necessary paperwork and to find out more.
