Chairman

Well I didn’t think I would ever be saying this again, but thank you for allowing me to be your Chairman for the coming year. If you had told me a few weeks ago that I would be posting that, I would have thought you were out of your mind. However, unexpected circumstances prevailed, so here I am. I would like to thank Moz and his team for their past service to the Centre, I know from past experience that many hours of personal time have to be given up, Kev with Sharon often not seen by the membership. As I said at the AGM, this was an unusual year, as so many of the existing Committee decided not to seek re-election. This wasn’t helped by the fact that for a long period leading up to the deadline for nominations, the Members weren’t aware of the situation, and the fact that the Centre was potentially looking at not having a Committee to go forward. This would of course have meant that the Centre may have folded, as ‘No Committee means No Centre’ It was purely as a result of this that some old Members decided that they had to act to form a Committee at the last minute to allow the Centre to continue, and to enjoy their chosen pastime at excellent venues arranged by Gary. I do hope that we can now all pull together to continue the excellent tradition of the Leicestershire Centre. We need the backing of all of you members out there to either volunteer to run a rally or for you to attend the rallies and enjoy what your Marshals have arranged. Remember that the National Caravan Rally is within our County this year in May at Belvoir Castle, and it would be great to see a large turn-out from our members. So to finish off for now, I can’t promise to be out on all Rallies as I still have some commitments, but what I will promise you all is that I will represent the Centre to the best of my ability and I look forward to seeing you out on a rally field soon. If you need to contact me you are always welcome to send a message through our website .

What is a Rally?

aravan Club members, with or without children, meet regularly to socialise and enjoy their shared interest in caravanning. Venues are varied, including C many village locations, stately homes, and occasionally, commercial sites. The aim is to provide something for everyone. The programme is designed so that the venues move around the County to keep the travelling times fair, wherever you live, and at longer weekends and holidays we travel further afield. Directions are given from Leicester. All venues are signed with yellow LCC arrows to help you to find us. At first it might seem strange spending a weekend so close to home– but Leicestershire is a lovely county when you really get to know it.

Rallies are organised by members who volunteer to be the Marshal for the weekend. They decide on the activities, which are then shown in this book and on our website. Activities vary, but usually include a cup of tea or coffee on Friday night when you can meet other members of the Club. On Saturdays a huge variety of events take place such as a ramble and possibly a ‘social’ in the evening. None of the activities are compulsory, but you will soon make friends if you do join in.

Socials reflect the facilities available and the marshal’s own taste but may include a quiz, a disco, live entertainment or family games or other activities.

Why not come along? You will need to use your own sanitation, and run on gas and battery if we are not on a commercial site. Your battery WILL last all weekend if you don’t overdo the TV (but you will be too busy socialising to switch on!) and some people supplement their battery with a small portable solar panel. There will be plenty of people around who will help you out if you have any problems.

Fresh water for drinking and somewhere to empty the Elsan are always provided.

Your dog, cat or other pet is welcome, but please make sure they cannot stray. Dogs must be kept on a lead and owners are responsible for cleaning up behind any pets.

The First Steps. Choose your first rally from the following pages, book online, use a booking form (to be found later in this book), or contact the Rally Marshal or any Committee Member, then just turn up on Friday and enjoy yourself.

If you are unsure of anything telephone the marshal, he or she will tell you what they have planned and happily answer any questions you may have.

Find our website at www.lccmc.org.uk

……a Rally is fun we hope to see you soon!

13 Guidelines for Guests

The Leicestershire Centre is always pleased to welcome guests onto rallies, either for the whole weekend, sleeping in a member’s caravan, during the day on Saturday or Sunday, or just for the Evening Social. However, there are guidelines that we would ask all members and rally marshals to keep in mind.

Tell the marshal that you have invited friends or family, and give them an idea of when your guests will arrive and leave. Then tell your guests to report to the marshal on arrival. In the event of an emergency, we need to know who is on the rally field.

If your guests wish to attend a social, you must book well in advance and ensure that the full costs are paid. There should be no problem at all when the social is held in a field with no restriction on numbers attending, but the marshals may be providing food, and will need to buy and prepare extra for your guests. Similarly, entertainment may have been arranged at a cost, which will then be shared by your guests.

When the social is held in a hall with a restriction on numbers, the Marshal must give priority to members attending with their caravans and then to guests staying overnight. Only if sufficient space is available in the hall after everyone on the rally has been catered for, can additional guests be allowed to attend the social only. Again, the guests must meet full costs. Never turn away a rallier in favour of allowing family or friends to attend a social – no matter what the occasion.

Now is the time to think about serving on the 2021 Committee.

Without volunteers, who form the Committee to ensure the smooth running of the Centre, plan the rallying programme, sporting events and social functions, we would not have a Centre. There are various jobs that need to be done, and your talent and expertise would be very much appreciated.

The best Committee is always formed when we are able to give members a choice - exercised by a vote at the AGM.

Are you able to spare one evening each month to help to run your club?

If you would like to know more, talk to one of this year's Committee Members and then let us have your nomination form which is available on the website.
