I’ve been a Centre member for over 30 years and have always enjoyed the social aspects and comradeship of rallying as have many other members. However, over the years, the simple pleasures of joining with friends on a farm field, parkland or even school playing field seems to have waned. The Caravan Club began as a rallying group and sites were gradually purchased to accommodate those who wished to travel solo or with one or two other outfits and gradually communal blocks were added.
It’s good to see that club sites are due to open during July as announced on the website and in the email to all members received this morning. However, there is no mention on either regarding Centre rallies. These were cancelled by directive from East Grinstead a couple of weeks before Club sites were closed and it seems the Club is slow in coming forward to allow Centres to start running rallies again. As rallies do not generally use locations where communal facilities are provided and rallies use their own onboard facilities, I’m not sure why rallies can’t be trusted to socially distanced in an open field.
What are the views of other Centre members on this?
