The best campsite in Surrey?

At the end of last year, two Guiders took on the task of reviewing Herons Wey and Weyside. For those outside Surrey West, these are our campsite and Residential centre and are in a beautiful, peaceful part of Surrey on a 50 acre site with many activities on-site. We have never looked closely at how it runs and the report, delivered in February, made many recomendations. These have been presented to the County Executive and the Herons Wey Management Committee and yesterday a sub-committee met for the first time to discuss how to move forward. Several of the recommendations have already been actioned - either wholly or in part. Some others need to be started on while others may be set aside as either too hard or not appropriate at this time. Included in this is a wide-ranging review of the marketing of Herons Wey (we are focussing on the campsite here and not on Weyside which already has very high levels of use). Watch this space. In the meantime I am after people who have never camped at Heron's Wey or prefer not to, who will visit it and take a critical view of what is there and what should be added/improved/changed. Volunteers?
