Purpose,
simply to promote caravanning activities, whilst
keeping the Caravan Club informed of views,
opinions and activities from the area. It is not
limited to rallies (these are covered and
controlled by centres), but covers Club Sites,
Certified Locations and other services which are
provided by the club.
Structure,
The officers are elected annually (Chairman,
Vice-chairman, Treasurer and Secretary), each
centre (Suffolk, Norfolk, South Essex, Mid Anglia
and North Essex) are allowed to send two
representatives, co-options are possible. Normally
a representative of the Caravan Club is in
attendance at the meetings, which are held about 6
times a year.
The
region is entitled to send 2 delegates to Club
Council meetings.
Naturally
some of the items covered will be of a
confidential nature, so these matters cannot be
included here. Communication is a two way process,
we intend to show relevant or interesting matters
here, should you have a comment or opinion these
can be sent to the Hon
Secretary.
ROUND
PLANTATION CLUB SITE AT MILDENHALL
Some
members may be aware that the Caravan Club has
trialled running some club sites with the use of
volunteers. In previous years one of the selected sites
was Stamford, however this year the site is no
longer under the control of the Caravan Club.
The
Caravan Club has decided that this is an extremely
worthwhile scheme to ensure that some Club Sites
remain available for members use.
The
club have decided therefore to replace Stamford
with the Club site at Mildenhall, and seek the
assistance
of members to act as volunteer wardens.
Training of course will be given.
Should
you be interested if you contact the secretary he
will ensure that your details are forwarded.
GENERAL
INFORMATION
It
is estimated that there are 500k touring caravans
in the UK, 115k motor caravans and 50k trailer /
folding caravans. With over 4 million caravans in
Europe plus 920k motor caravans. Over 50% of
touring and motor caravanners are members of the
club.
The
Caravan Club network of CL’s stands at
approximately 2,600.
Fancy
a weekend in London then try the Club site at Abbey
Woods, located close to transport, and recently
re-furbished, or closer to home why not have a
quiet weekend on the Queen’s estate at
Sandringham.
AGM
The Regional AGM will be held in November.
Please check your Centre rally programme for
dates and venue. The AGM
is open to all, as is the rally. Please
contact the Hon Secretary.
The
region is grateful to centres for allowing the
inclusion of these details. The views represented
here are not necessarily the views of the centre,
the region or the Caravan Club.
