As I start my
second year as your Chairman I look forward to what
I hope will be another successful year for the
Centre. It gives me great pleasure to present the
2010 rally programme.
Again we are not hosting any celebration rallies in
the coming year but, looking through the programme,
we have a good mix of old favourites and new venues.
My thanks must go to Nigel and I am sure a lot of
assistance from Kim, for all his work in preparing
and producing the rally handbook. My thanks also go
to the rally marshals who give their time to run the
rallies and the land owners.
If you are a new member receiving a rally handbook
for the first time and you are not sure what it is
all about give me a ring and have a chat or, if
there is a rally near you, call in and see us. You
will be made very welcome.
The National Rally this year is at Weston Park,
Shropshire, a lovely venue and I hope many of you
will make the long trip to support the Centre. The
Regional Rally this year is hosted by the North
Essex Centre at Gt Sailing near Braintree from 2nd
to 4th June.
I have decided again this year to support just one
charity, this again being the East Anglian Air
Ambulance.
My Chairman's Rally will be "The Mad Hatter's Tea
Party" at the Mid Suffolk Showground, Stonham Barns,
24th to 27th June. We will be holding our Centre
Charity Fete at the Pig Roast Rally at Woolverstone
on 23rd to 25th July.
I would like to thank last year's Committee for
their support and hard work and look forward to
working with the new Committee.
Finally, Sheena and I look forward to seeing you on
the rally field in the coming year and wish you all
a very happy caravanning year.
Kind
regards
Derek Pannell
Suffolk Centre Chairman

Centre Members The Caravan Club's new computer systems is still being upgraded
and is not currently notifying the Centre of your new or renewed
membership. Please accept our apologies if your rally handbook
is delayed. If you wish to attend a rally, please contact a
member of Committee for rally marshal details. Contacts on page
675 of your Sites Directory & Handbook.
Fire Safety
Please ensure you have read the Fire Safety
Procedure on page 635 of your Sites Directory & Handbook.
Rally Marshals may not have fire extinguishers available on the
rally field in future.
From October 2009 it will be a Suffolk Centre
recommendation that all caravans attending a rally should have a "fire bucket" filled with water adjacent to their "A" frame.
It is recommend that you have a fire extinguisher and fire
blanket in your caravan in case of emergency and regularly check
the batteries in your smoke alarm.
