The Thundersprint camping will take place at Witton Albion Football Club again which is about a mile from the Thundersprint track and Northwich Town Centre. It is a comfortable half hour walk from the town centre and all the activities at the Memorial Hall.

Witton Albion Football Club has a proud history of welcoming visitors

In response to your requests from last year, camping will now open on Thursday 6 May from 12 midday to 9pm. The site will re-open at 9am on Friday Saturday and Sunday mornings. The site will remain open until 9pm each evening. It will finally close at 10am on Monday 9 May. This is so that you can make a full weekend of the Thundersprint.

As well as cooked breakfasts served on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings, there there will be refreshments - both solid and liquid! - on sale throughout the day and in the evening there will be entertainment in the social club. In all, what we hope will be a very pleasant start to the Thundersprint for you.

If you would like an evening meal, these are available at very reasonable prices and you can see the booking form below for full details. Because of the number of campers we expect, please confirm when booking whether you would like a meal on any of the evenings. Breakfast, and evening meals, will be served in the social club which is heated and comfortable.

The club's social area is very pleasant and there will be free entertainment during Saturday evening.

Witton Albion has an excellent social club

There are excellent facilities at the club. We have listened to the comments of female customers and this year the female showers will be available exclusively for Thundersprint campers during the whole weekend, 24 hours a day - except when they are being serviced.

During the night, there are toilet facilities in the ground which are immediately adjacent to the campsite and these will be open throughout the night when the main clubhouse is closed.

There will be two camping areas. These will be for general camping and a separate area for those of you who want to be in a quiet area.

We have changed the location, and management, of the Quiet Area from 2009.

In 2009, the Quiet Area was not satisfactory for either campers keen to openly express their sheer delight at being at the Thundersprint or those who wanted a peaceful evening an early bed!

For 2010, there will be a brand-new Quiet Area and this will be on the football pitch. It will have its own access gate where potential entrants will be reminded that it IS a designated quiet area and there IS a curfew in place.

There will also be a separate access from the clubhouse to the Quiet Area. In short, the changes should guarantee campers the peaceful night(s) that you have a right to expect.

Because the Quiet Area is on the pitch, it will only take bikes, cars, vans and smaller motorhomes/caravans. If you have a huge motorhome then there will be an area directly outside the Quiet Area, on crushed gravel.

The Quiet Area will also be the designated “Pet Area” and there is a pet exercising path around the edge of the football pitch.

Your dog/cat must be kept on a lead at all times. You might love dogs - we do - but others don't want a passionate kiss from an eight stone, adolescent Doberman - even a very friendly one. Clearly, you must clean up after your animal and keep the whole area hygienic.

ALL PETS MUST BE ON A LEAD AT ALL TIMES. THIS PARTICULARLY APPLIES TO DOGS.

Having a pet friendly area has taken a lot of organisation and goodwill on the part of Witton Albion FC so please make the system work.

If you do not keep your pet in the designated area, or allow it to be a nuisance in any way, the Club may well instruct you to leave the site. Please do not let this happen.

The Quiet area will have an 8pm curfew on all music, ball games and every other activity likely to cause a disturbance. It's aimed primarily at families with little ones who need to be in bed, settled and relaxed but it is also a good place for racers/cavalcaders who need an early bed for the following morning's dawn start. Please respect this area.

There is a total and absolute ban on fires, barbecues and fireworks everywhere on site.

Camping Prices: The price for camping is £20.00 per tent, vehicle, motorhome or whatever for Saturday evening only and £30.00 for the whole weekend. The weekend pass will provide up to four nights' stay: Thursday 6 May, Friday 7 May, Saturday 8 May and Sunday 9 May.

The one night stay is for Saturday 8 May only.

A two night stay will be the same price as a weekend pass.

If ten people sleep in one tent it will still be £20.00 for one night.

For a family of four sleeping in one caravan, the total cost will be £20.00 for Saturday or £30.00 to stay the whole weekend.

The cost for a caravan or motorhome is still £30.00 for the weekend, or £20.00 for Saturday evening - even if it is a big one! The charges listed are for a tent, giant motorhome or for sleeping on the ground in a bin liner next to your bike. The charge is per unit, not per person.

The charges refer only to domestic camping units, not commercial tents designed to house many occupants - for example club tents - which must be pre-booked by prior arrangement.
