A rally is a gathering of Caravan Club Members,
for a weekend or holiday to promote friendship and pursue common
pleasures, pastimes and sports in a light-hearted manner, having
fun along the way. Rallies take place at all sorts of venues, from
local fields to stately homes.

THE
RALLY OFFICER
Your
Rally Officer isn’t an official like a Traffic Warden, but
member just like you, who has volunteered to organise and run the
rally and greets you when you arrive. |

WHAT
TO DO
After
you have booked your rally and the weekend arrives, just follow
the directions in the rally book. As you approach the Rally Venue
you will see directional signs to help you find the entrance. On
arrival you will find the Rally Officer waiting for you at the rally
office, which is usually the first van you see and has another sign
outside so you can find him. Once you have booked in he will hand
you an envelope, containing the programme for the weekend and competitions
for all the family, and then direct you to your pitch. The field
is marked out with ample space between caravans and with a tidy
appearance. It is intended that the front offside corner of your
caravan is on the marker and your car is parked on the offside.
You can usually save a place for a friend, by placing something
large (wellie or bucket) on an adjacent marker. You will also be
shown where the fresh water tap is and the elsan disposal. Simple
wooden levelling blocks may be needed at some venues. |

SOCIAL
ACTIVITIES
The
rally may include a social on the Saturday night which is a family
event. Sometimes this takes place in an adjacent hall or in the
summer it may be an outdoor social with a B.B.Q. Social evenings
can range from a simple natter & noggin to dancing of all types
with own entertainment or live acts. All these are entirely optional,
but are always good fun. |

FLAGPOLE
You
may have heard of strange goings on around the flag, don’t
be alarmed this is also a fun event and is where you and your fellow
ralliers gather to hear results of competitions, welcome visitors
and new ralliers, announce forthcoming events and rallies and most
important, to thank the rally officers.
