I see the Retired Caravanning Association now allow non members of RCA to view a full list of their actual 2018 rallies with locations and dates, on their website...Their rallies are in various desirable locations and always have in mind areas where interesting places to visit are to be found...If a single person or couple wish to join RCA they make you most welcome and I believe as long as you no longer are employed you can apply from the age of 55...interested persons can obtain a no obligation information pack on application by looking up their newly organised website. ..This sounds the kind of caravanning us retired folk could would benefit from.

.If you went to a hotel after having booked for a certain number of days, and you told the hotel you were leaving early, do you think the hotel would refund the unused nights, I don’t think so, so why do you think a rally officer should refund you

Fair comment - not sure about a hotel but the CAMC would not refund entirely on a club site so why are others complaining about the RCA?

The RCA rallies start from 5, 7, 10 and 14 days...In summer I would not think of going to join any rally for less than 5 days...If you only want a 2 day break then a CL or CAMC , is what you want...If you went to a hotel after having booked for a certain number of days, and you told the hotel you were leaving early, do you think the hotel would refund the unused nights, I don’t think so, so why do you think a rally officer should refund you.

It's nothing to do with refunding but how much you pay in the first instance.

I think the OP was perhaps trying to encourage older people to get together for their enjoyment with their caravans and motorhomes. The negative comments (for example about old peoples homes on wheels) are quite spiteful and unnecessary. Ease up
