Membership No : Devon & Cornwall Chairman’s Message 2021 Dear Centre Members When I stepped back into the Chairman’s role for 2019/2020 I never expected for one minute we would experience a year like we have. It has been privilege and honour to take up this role once more. I am very proud of this centre and its achievements and I feel I have done my best this year to live up to standards previously set by former Chairpersons and you the membership. This year has seen our lives completely turned upside down with the Coronavirus and our thoughts must go to all those that have lost friends and family to this Virus. My sincere thanks must go to my officers and committee in the way that we have dealt with all the restrictions that have been applied to the centre due the Coronavirus. We did have some rallies at the beginning of the year before Coronavirus Lock down was imposed which were very enjoyable and enjoyed by all who attended them. We did have rallies in the Autumn following the lifting of Covid-19 Restriction. My thanks must go to the Stewards and Assistants for giving up their time and running these rallies on our behalf under these conditions. A special thanks must go to this year’s officers and committee who have all worked extremely hard on your behalf over the last year. Thank you. All have agreed to stand again this year and work with me over the next year. We have places available on committee and we would welcome any one who would like to get involved with the centre committee. This year we have no junior committee but hopefully within the rally plan there will be rallies that the juniors can take part in and enjoy. My thanks to all for playing their part for preparing the rally plan for 2021, which is very demanding and no easy task. Rally numbers are on the decline causing limited or no weekends for us all to enjoy. We urgently need Stewards to come forward and keep our enjoyment of rallying going. Please consider running a rally it is a really good feeling when a rallier leaves at the end of the weekend and stops and says “Thank you” for a brilliant week end or you receive a Thank you card though the post that week. It is not always possible to be able to commit to being a steward but by just attending a rally you are supporting the centre so take a look at this year’s rally plan and send those booking slips off. Continued- Chairman’s Message 2020 saw another Land mark in the Centre’s history with the Centre’s completing 4000 rallies since the very first one back in 1952. The centre was planning a Celebration rally at Trevornick Holiday Park Holywell Park Newquay, from May the 3rd through to May the 10th to celebrate this occasion which had to be cancelled but the Celebration rally is rescheduled for the next year. Venue and date are to be confirmed. I would personally like to thank all of you who give your time to run, assist and help on rallies for our centre, along with various site owners land owners and authorities for allowing us to use their facilities for our enjoyment. With Covid –19 restricting our rallies this year we are proposing to continue with this year’s centre chari- ty which is Make –A-Wish UK. South West area. Make –A—Wish UK helps to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illness. I am sure you will agree with me this is a very worthy cause and I hope you will support me and the centre in our efforts to raise money for this worthwhile cause. Finally, Susan and I look forward to meeting members old and new on the Rally field during 2021 and we hope you will all have a Safe and Happy caravanning year. Derek Philp COVID—19.

Give at least ten days’ notice (holiday rallies require more notice) when booking; the Steward will not acknowledge your booking unless the rally is full. If you require confirmation of your booking please request this and enclose a stamped addressed envelope with your booking slip. On some rallies you may need blocks and plank or a wedge (called a 'Prout' in our Centre) to level your caravan, your own toilet facilities and a container to fill the reservoir (toilets must never be taken to the drinking water tap), means of taking your dry rubbish home, drinking water container and filler pipe and a waste water container. Before you set off check the site directions against a map. When you get near to the venue you will find rally signs to help you. These are yellow arrows, with D & C in black. Follow these to the site. When arriving on the site please keep to 5 m.p.h, there may be children running around. Stop at the Stew- ards caravan, which will be marked with a sign and let them know that it is your first rally. The Steward will give you an envelope, which contains details of the cost of the rally, a programme of events and a plaque if re- quested. The plaque is a small plastic memento of attending the rally. Please pay the Steward the money , unless you are attending a prepaid rally and then they will assist you with pitching your caravan. The Steward will inform you of water, waste water and chemical toilet emptying facilities that are available. They will also tell you of any other information pertain- ing to the rally. Do not feel obliged to participate in any events that are being or- ganised, your wishes will be respected. REMEMBER: We were all new once and appreciate how apprehensive you are feeling.
