October would be better for me, as i wont my camper for a couple of months yet

This not yours then?

I wish! This is what gave us the idea though. Ours will be a lightr fern greeny colour, but will have a rebel alliance symbol or two And its number plate is T2 D2 ish

We went to Hurst View in Lymington recently. Large open ( can be windy in places) site. Has a little shop that also does cooked food. They allow campfires...even on the grass. It's a 10 minute cycle ride into town..great for mooching. You can do a day trip to Isle if Wight on foot or bike for £15. I think its a site suited to club camping

All good points Bumble and just for reference . . .
There are potentially a few good campsites around the south coast but they may not all like the sound of 'club camping' which is a shame.
A good location and things to do and see (without necessarily driving your Kombi) plus a good walk or two from the site we would suggest are almost pre-requisites for an ideal location.
The potential for a good itinerary will always help to attract members when arranging such a doo!

To demonstrate the above, our two earlier suggestions stack up like this.

I will also look at something for May/June next year.

We doo know it may not be high on your priority list at present, but we are currently looking at next year's holidays so any rough idea of a date yet?  

We know we are going to be tight on holiday days next year due to existing plans!
