It is with great sadness that we have today been informed by John Taylor that after a short illness Nina Taylor passed away yesterday. It has been a huge shock to us and no doubt to all those that knew John and Nina - longstanding members, helpers and marshals for this Centre. He has asked we post this to let members know. As we learn anything more we will let members know but at this time all we have been able to do is to pass on our deep sadness and condolences to John and his family....

Dear Members Nominations for the 2024/25 committee have now closed. Right to the last minute this Centre was without a nomination for Chairman. The Centre was 100% close to the point of issues for the next 3 months and the real possibility of it failing. For some it was not their intention to stand for any committee post this coming year. A full list of the nominations can be found here. It has been made clear though, that for several of this years nominees, their nomination will be for this coming year only and will not be submitted again for the 2025 AGM. If the Centre is unable to form a committee at AGM 2025 then it will fail. Many of us do not want to see this Centre go the way of others, so it will be up to members over the coming year to decide. This years AGM will be held at Trinity Park on Sunday 13th October, membership card must be...

Are you one of our regular members or perhaps as yet, not been able to venture out with us on a rally?  If a new member, do you know how we operate from year to year? All Club Centres are run by volunteers, Club members like yourself, who have got involved in one way or another.  Some get involved by supporting us as and when they can, to some it’s almost a way of life that our caravan or motorhome revolves around. We have those that attend rallies and help where they can, those that volunteer to organise a rally, and those that come forward to be on the committee that we need to have each year to be able to function. Life has changed greatly from even before the pandemic struck, and we are so grateful to all those who have managed to stay with us.  Each year, we have to hold an AGM, being part of CAMC, and all the committee...
