Helping Hands (There is also a page for Ex- Helpers for all those helpers who have left)
This page is for those essential people who aren't family but are just as important to running the campsite.
Dave & Jem Chick - March 2009 to present
Dave and Jem live on the farm with their 3 kids, and help all over the place. Dave is a carpenter and builds all kinds of things from toilets to Bridges. A recent example is the fences on either side of the bridge crossing over to Lower Moat. Jem helps out in the office and will always be a friendly face. Their kids help tend the chickens and grow veg too!Feel free to ask questions if you see them around the farm, they’ll be more than happy to help.
Stan & Eva - March 2010 - Present
Since Stan and Eva have arrived they have been great all round the campsite. They are both hardworking and useful to have around. Stan is a bit of a handyman, his most rescent work is the new entrance to the Woodland Yurt, with proper drainage and a nice tidy entrance. Eva has slotted in very well with looking after the Yurts and makes sure they are pristine for each new stay. Both are very friendly and will help out if you need anything.
Steve Jones - Summer 2009 - Present
Steve is our new campsite warden around the site. He lives in his beautiful gypsy wagon in Lower Moat and is extremely knowledgeable in the ways of bushcraft and all things nature. Most weekends he can be found socialising with the campers and making everyones stay more pleasurable - but he'll also be the one making sure everyone behaves!
Ali - Summer 2009 - Present
Ali does wonderful things with wood, here is an example of a commison that left for Scotland last year. However she has also made the tree stump outside the Alice Yurt into a bench, and the sign hanging over the barn is her work.
Nicky - 2009 - Present
Nicky has been with us since 2009, working in reception. But then branched out and this year has started doing her breakfasts on weekend mornings, selling all veggie sausages and rolls etc. She is also a great musician and plays on saturday nights round the campfires in Lower Moat.
Sarah - April 2010 - Present
Sarah is currently studying at university but has joined the team this year to help out over the summer. You'll find her at the busy times in reception checking you in but also looking after the Yurts. She's really friendly so don't hesitate to ask for help if you need. Sarah is also a heptathalete and competes to a very high level. So you could challenge her to a race accross Lower Moat!
