What to expect on rallies…?

…it is a gathering of Caravan & Motorhome Club members, for a weekend or holiday, to promote

friendship and pursue many pleasures, pastimes and sometimes sport, in a light-hearted manner and

have fun along the way. You should never feel obliged to join in anything that does not interest you.

The Rally Marshal is an ordinary member, who has volunteered to organise and run the rally. This

usually includes arranging the rally, signing the approach to the rally field, and organising competitions

and entertainment for all ages. They may include a “Social” on Saturday evening, which is a family

event or a communal barbecue on the field in summer. They will also arrange the water supply and

facilities for the disposal of waste water and toilet emptying.

The starting time of rallies is stated in the handbook. This is to allow the Marshal enough time to

prepare, so please do not arrive before this time. On arrival at the field, drive up to the Marshals van,

usually the first on the field, where all will be revealed. Please advise them if this is your first rally. They

will hand you an envelope containing the rally programme and printed on the front your name and

papers that you have ordered. Please place in the front window of your caravan.

Towards the end of the rally there is a Flagpole meeting. This is where ralliers gather with the Marshals

to hear the results of any competitions, Centre news, and to extend thanks to those who made the rally

possible, welcome visitors and new ralliers and announce forthcoming events, etc. Usually tea, coffee

and tuck shop are available.

All you need in addition to items you would normally expect to take on a commercial site are your own

toilet together with a water container to fill it (toilets must NEVER be taken to the drinking water tap, this

is a serious health hazard), and a waste bin for dry waste, which you must take home with you. Simple

wooden wedges and packing pieces are sometimes required on sloping fields.

The Rally Marshal will site you to ensure adequate spacing between caravans, and the owners’ car is

parked along the offside of the caravan. If you have a second car or visitors with cars these must be

parked in specified parking areas as designated by the Rally Marshal.

Why not give it a try? If in doubt give us a ring (any Committee Member or Rally Marshal in the book).

Don’t forget we all rally for pleasure and aim to share this pleasure with you.

Caravan & Motorhome Club members wishing to attend East Kent Fixtures should ensure their outfits are adequately insured against accidental damage

and are reminded the centre accepts no legal liability for such.

For the safety and consideration of others, the use of petrol,

electrical and non-powered recreational ride on equipment

must be away from halls and the area where units are sited.

Message to all Members from Kim.

Firstly, I wanted to mention that there is a considerable amount of work and time that goes into

putting the Rally book together. Therefore, I would like to thank all members and the committee for

helping with this year's book.

In this year's programme I have tried to alternate venues between the East and West of Kent. The

intention is to even out the amount of travelling by our members. There are venues that have not

been visited for a few years and also new venues. This was done as a result of comments I had

been hearing on the Rally field. I hope that members will enjoy the variety of venues on offer and

support our marshals by booking in early before the Rally 'book by' date. This enables the marshal to

'cost' a social and order the correct number of plaques and equipment. Also please be aware you are

NOT booked into a Rally until the marshal receives payment either by cheque or cash.

Rallying is only possible with Marshals and their Assistants. I thank all of you for taking on this task

so that we may continue with our hobby all year round. The number of Marshals and Assistants

coming forward is diminishing fast and next year it may not be possible to put on as many Rallies as

we have done this or previous years. Already in this year's book we have 3 Rallies cancelled due to

lack of Marshals. If you require any help or advice with regards to your Rally please give me or

another committee member a call.

We are always looking for new marshals and new ideas, so if you have been on a Rally and have

enjoyed what you have seen or done and feel you would like to have a go at marshalling or assisting

please speak to me or other committee members. There is work involved but it can be very rewarding

and a lot of fun, especially when you see people enjoying themselves all due to your efforts.

As in previous years, I will be holding a list of members who may be able to help in opening and/or

closing a Rally. If you could help out our marshals by assisting in this way please contact me and I

will add you to the list.

If any member has a Rally site in mind that they wish to Marshal in 2020 please speak to me so we

can discuss the venue & dates in detail. If any member wishes to Marshal a EASTER/

HOLIDAY/CHRISTMAS Rally in 2020 also contact me with your ideas. Holiday sites get booked up

very early by other centres, so please don't sit back and wait come and have a chat. Rally sites are

becoming harder to find and the costs are also rising, if you know of a potential site please find out

the basic information. (Eg. are the owners interested in us using it as a Rally site?) Do a basic check

of the site, obtain phone numbers, contact details and a full address and forward the details to me. I

can then follow up with the landowners and arrange a site visit.

I would like to wish all members a fantastic 2019 enjoying their Rallying and remind everyone without

the Ralliers there would be no Centre. Hope to see you all on a Rally field soon.

Rally Secretary Kim Durtnall
