January 18th 1953 shows the first recorded entry in the club's minute book as :-To form a club under the title “Greenacres” It was further agreed to purchase the property known as The Alms Houses County Durham for the sum of £850.0.0 which would be around £30,364:00 in todays money, to raise that amount would have been a tremendous achievement. The set membership fee for the first year for both male and female members was £5.5.0 which would be the equivalent of £187.54 in today’s money, bear in mind this was a membership fee and not a caravan site fee it was quite an amount to lay out in 1953.That was 70 years ago this year and to celebrate it we are having an anniversary party on Saturday 27th May 2023, January may be a bit cold so we decided to put it back to May.The event will be a three-course meal cooked and served in our club house by an outside caterer. Entertainment will by a professional singer followed by disco and dance music. The price is subsidised by Greenacres and will be £25:00 per head to members and guests. Anyone wishing to attend please apply now.For the benefit of our children they will have their own day the following Sunday 3rd June starting at 13:00 going on into the evening. We are planning a fun filled day with a children’s entertainer on site, games food and all the usual children’s stuff. Anyone wishing to bring children on site, it will be a textile day but must be with the approval of their parents in the full knowledge of where they will be.
