New Beach Holiday Park

Dave had a break from animation work last week.
Instead he spent a week with myself, our daughter and grand daughter at New Beach holiday park Dymchurch. We were regular visitors there in the early days of our marriage and one year our daughter won a weekly miss princess competition and her photo was entered the the miss princess of the year. She won that and we got a weeks free holiday so we have happy memories of the place.
We stayed in a caravan, it was brand new but these days they have managed to squeeze even more onto the site and in our opinion the chalets that were there 25 years ago are now looking tired and in need of some TLC. That said our grand daughter thought she was in heaven, she used the indoor swimming pool, the pedal go-karts to ride around the site, spent a good few pennies on the vast selection of arcade machines and thoroughly enjoyed the evening entertainment. The kiddies rep did let us down when several children wanted to go to a mornings painting session and because of bad organisation all the children missed out completely. There is something to be said for packing up your car with a weeks supplies and in less than an hour being at your holiday resort, sadly you cannot guarantee the British weather, but we were lucky.
An enjoyable day out is a trip on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway, the worlds smallest public railway and still using steam trains, we travelled from Dymchurch to Dungeness and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our Granddaughter left one of her toys in one of the carriages but a telephone call to them on returning home saw the delivery of it by post the next day. Absolutely brilliant!
