RALLY 2008...
The
Chapter's Foundation Rally is being held between 13-15th
June 2008 at the Webbington Hotel, Loxton,
Somerset
England
XIV welcomes you to the West Country of England, and
more specifically to "Avalon" the legendry
home of King Arthur. Loxton is situated very close
to the mystical town of Glastonbury and it's famous
Tor. More about this later.
The
Webbington is a 3 Star Best Western Hotel and comes
with all the qualities and features that you would
expect, friendly staff, excellent food, rooms and
facilities. Guests have free use of the hotel indoor
heated swimming pools, the adjoining sun lounge, a
fully equipped gymnasium, or relax in a comfortable
steam room, or sauna. The hotel is undergoing building
work to improve guest facilities and this should be
completed by February 2008. The refurbishment means
that the glass roof to the indoor pool has been replaced
by a brand new sun terrace above the pool. Enjoy your
evening drinks in the sun whilst soaking up the views
across the Somerset Levels towards Brent Knoll and
Weston-super-Mare.
