After a covid-enforced hiatus of 5 years our Raiders Tour is officially back in 2024. After the closure of our original accommodation option at Camber Sands we have switched tour and venue to Golden Sands Holiday Park in Rhyll, North Wales.

It is on the same weekend as originally planned and meets all of our original aims and ambitions for the Tour.

Where: Golden Sands Holiday Park, Rhyll, North Wales
When: 3rd – 6th May 2024
Who: Can accommodate all our current team requirements from U8s to U15s

Key points

• The accommodation is a step above the previous option at Pontins and the holiday park gets a 4 out of 5 rating on Trip Advisor.
• It is further away than Camber Sands with an estimated journey time of approx 3.5-4 hours but hopefully, that is still manageable for everyone.
• There is a range of accommodation options from standard/value caravans to a few luxury lodges
• Overall, the cost works out cheaper than Camber Sands for standard accommodation as we’ve negotiated lower team registration costs. We have removed the cost for the proposed social activity as we are unsure of what we can do for the time being.
• The reason we did not originally select this tour was that they couldn’t fit in teams U14s and above but they have been able to change the format and accommodate all our teams with competitive matches up to U15s.

Accommodation

There are several different accommodation options but they fundamentally split into Standard and Luxury options. However, there are not many units available in the Luxury range so the choice will be more around Comfort and Superior caravans.
Links to each accommodation type are here:

• Value Caravans
• Comfort Caravans
• Comfort Chalets
• Superior Caravans
• Luxury Caravans
• Burst Of Blue Caravans
• Luxury Lodges

The accommodation is essentially a mix of 4-berth, 6-berth and 8-berth chalets/caravans. There are a couple of 10-berth caravans. The 5-berth option shown below is 5 people in a 6-berth

• 4-berth – one double room and one twin room
• 5-berth & 6-berth – one double room and two twin rooms
• 8-berth – one double room, two twin rooms and one sofa bed in the lounge
• 10-berth – one double room, two twin rooms and one bunk bedroom

The number of units is skewed more towards 4-6 berth units with fewer 8-10 berth units available.

Under Occupancy Charges

There are underoccupancy charges if not filling a caravan fully as before but the accommodation is better suited to matching pairs so should be less people having to pay an additional charge.

• 2 people in a 4-berth – pay 100% of 3rd space and 50% of 4th space cost
• 3 people in a 4-berth – pay 50% of 4th space cost
• 4 people in a 6-berth – pay 100% of 5th space cost
• 5 people in a 6-berth – no surcharge
• 6 people in an 8-berth – pay the pp price for 6 people but no surcharge
• 8 people in a 10-berth – pay the pp price for 8 people but no surcharge

Cost

Below is a table that shows the relative costs per person for all accommodation options.

We have added in a £5pp charge to cover admin and team registration costs.
If we decide to do a social or provide a team shirt we will charge this separately.
