FOCUS ON WEST HAMPSHIRE CARAVAN CLUB CENTRE
The Committee have met 3 times since the last Focus was issued and I apologise for the delay in getting an update out. Never the less I hope that the following will be of interest to members:
- The rally book was back from the publishers before Christmas and hopefully you now have your copy. If not, please see any Committee member on a rally or if you want one posted please contact Sue Davis
- The new web site is live and is being well visited with on-line booking proving very popular. Many thanks go to Pete for all his hard work.
- ROOF was well supported and thank you to everyone who attended. There were some lively discussions.
- The storage unit was successfully moved to Eastleigh and thanks goes to those on Committee and their other halves who helped with this. If you need anything from the store for your rally, please contact Alvin Holloway.
- The rally kits have been replenished and new signs purchased.
- The accounts have been completed by our accountant and have been submitted to the Caravan Club.
- We are investigating some possible sites for the Centre’s 3500th rally which will occur in 2017.
- The Open Forum meeting was held at Copythorne in February. Thank you to those of you who attended and especially to those of you who were not on the rally but took the time to come along. Much of the discussion was about the fire which had occurred on a New Year rally in London and the reissued guidance about spacing on rally fields which the Caravan Club had sent out. Reassurance was given that if the guidance had been followed, Rally Officers would be insured if there was an accident, fire, etc. A copy of the guidance form the Caravan Club has been sent to all Rally Officers.
- All the rules for the competitions at the Wessex are now available either via our web site or from the various event managers (see page 11 of the Rally book). Don’t forget to book the rally too – see page 89 of your Rally book. The cost is all inclusive with plenty on offer for all the family.
- The rally season is now well underway and please do take a look at your rally book and try to book as soon as you can. It will be disappointing to cancel rallies due to low numbers if in fact the bookings are just being made late. Our Rally Officers work hard to make sure that we can all enjoy our leisure activities so please try to support them.
- Our rally Secretary – Malcolm, is already working on the rally programme for next year so if you want to run a rally or know of a site we might use do please speak to him. There are already some additions to this year’s programme so please look for updates on the web and on flag poles
- There have sadly been a number of deaths notified to us already this year. Details are put on the web site if we have details. Our thoughts and condolences go out to their family and friends. You can also find other news and photos on the web site so do take a look.
Finally, I hope to see you on the rally field sometime soon.
Best wishes
Anne
