Wilts DA is proud to have been awarded "Highly Commended" for our website in this years Brian Welham Trophy!
​
We would like to thank the judges of the Brian Welham Trophy for recognising the hard work put in by the Wilts DA webmaster and committee to create and maintain our website.
​
The Brian Welham Trophy is awarded annually by the Camping and Caravanning Club in recognition of the best website amongst DA's and special interest sections of the club.
Congratulations to Tracy Rees for winning the Wilts DA BBQ Bake off with her amazing Welsh Cakes!
The rules of the Wilts DA BBQ Bake off are very simple, entry's must be baked outside on a BBQ!
We originally had three entries to this years bake of, Alan with his chocolate brownies, Tracy with her Welsh cakes, and, Paul with his chocolate brownies. Unfortunately Paul's brownies were withdrawn at the last minute due to a burnt bottom!! leaving Tracy and Alan in the final.
​
After much deliberation, our wonderful judges, Katie, age 11, and Annabel, age 8, declared Tracy the winner!
The Wilts DA would like to say a huge Thank You to our stewards, Val & Mike Vincent, and, Deb & Mark Drury, for their hard work at our Beehive Field THS.
Being the first THS right after the easing of COVID restrictions we had an incredible turnout, their organisation and hard work made for an incredibly well laid out site and smooth running of the event, with many positive comments from very happy campers!
Val's amazing ginger biscuits were a big hit!
​
Being inundated with kind words and requests for the recipe, Val has kindly agreed to share her recipe with us all.
