Blogs about Oakwood for the Oakwood blog - does that make sense?

Here's a little snippet of some of the fantastic comments from bloggers worldwide about Pembrokeshire and your favourite theme park ;)

"Whenever you come or wherever you go in Pembrokeshire, one thing that doesn't change: The welcome is always warm and genuine" just one thing this blogger has to say about our wonderful county.

"it turns out that my fears were confirmed. It rained for most of the week. But despite this, we had a good time" hhhmmm, that sounds a bit familiar from the summer!

So much to do ....

... such little time!!!

Well the 2009 season just flew by! Time to crack on with our winter maintenance schedule now.

Everyone here is busy taking things down/apart/repairing/painting and the list goes on and on. Very strange being in the park with no visitors here - bit like a ghost town BUT only 19 weeks until we re-open next year and we can't wait!

Only 3 days left ...

There's only three more days left for the 2009 season until Oakwood closes it's gates for the year. Check out our opening times to make sure you don't miss out on one last visit!

The families of soldiers from 14 Signal Regiment, Brawdy joined us on Tuesday. We wanted to give them a great day out to try and make this time away from their loved ones a little easier. Here's a pic of them when they arrived.













The Help the Heroes team also joined them to raise awareness of the fantastic work they do. If you missed them on Tuesday why not make a donation online.

Soldiers to storm Oakwood

We're delighted to have confirmed that the families of soldiers serving in Afghanistan will be joining us at Oakwood next Tuesday. The families are all from the 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare) based at the Cawdor Barracks near Haverfordwest.

The Help the Heroes team will also be at the park to raise awareness of their important work and, hopefully, collect donations from our lovely, generous visitors. What a great opportunity to talk to a man in uniform!!!!!!

We're all about having fun at Oakwood and it is great to be able to try and make sure these families join in the fun too. It is hard to imagine how difficult it must be to have your husband, wife, dad, mum, sister, brother all those miles away and the worry that must go with it. We're hoping that next Tuesday shows them our support and appreciation of the dangerous work these men and women undertake.

If you can't join them at Oakwood next Tuesday please show your support by making a donation online.

Autumn Thoughts

Mixed feelings here at the Oakwood camp about autumn - love the fresh, crisp days but it also means it's nearly time for us to close for the year. We're not there yet and have a couple of weeks to go yet (opening days vary) but won't be long before there is an absence of screaming from the place. On the other hand closing for the winter allows us to get everything lovely and shiny for you all for next year.

So ... we'll enjoy the next few weeks and then full steam ahead to 2010!
