Is based upon consideration for other people. Therefore, conduct by members, their families (especially children and their animals) and visitors to Centre events must not be prejudicial to the good reputation of the Centre, or the comfort or convenience of others. In cases of abuse, the Caravan Club rules permit Centre Committees to take disciplinary action.

If you wish to erect an awning or tent please check with the rally marshals first. Teenage tents are allowed provided the site can accommodate them and that they are pitched in close proximity to the caravan of an adult member who will take responsibility for them.

These should not be lit in or near awnings. Charcoal barbecues should be well soaked with water before disposal and MUST NOT be emptied into hedges or other flammable materials. You should dispose of these safely.

Please note some events have a limit, which is shown under each entry. All members wishing to attend an event MUST book in, by post, telephone or e-mail, not later than 9.00pm on the Wednesday preceding the event.

If you are booked into an event and wish to cancel the booking, you must cancel not later than 9.00pm on the Wednesday preceding the event, otherwise you will be liable to pay a cancellation fee. If the event involves a pre-booked dinner and the organisers have to pay for your pre-booked meal then you will have to reimburse the Centre for the costs involved.

These MUST NOT be washed out at drinking water taps and must only be emptied at designated point. If no emptying point is available, they must be taken home for disposal.

You should be familiar with and observe the provisions of the Caravan, Country and Seashore Codes (Printed in the Rally Handbook).

If you have a complaint concerning anything about a rally, you should raise this with the Chief Rally Marshal at the time. If the Chief Rally Marshal does not resolve this complaint to your satisfaction, you should then put the matter in writing to the Centre Secretary so that it can be investigated fully by the Centre Committee.

The maximum speed limit within the boundaries of a rally is WALKING PACE i.e. if you pass someone who is walking, you are SPEEDING. Only fully licenced and insured drivers are permitted to drive on a rally site. Anyone who does not hold a full driving licence is not allowed to drive on site.

Must at all times (when outside the caravan) be on a lead not exceeding 3 meters in length. All dogs must be exercised away from caravans and the owner must clean up any fouling IMMEDIATELY. Any person may, after due warning of a breach of these rules, be asked to leave the site by the rally marshals.

The rally entry gives the start time for each rally. DO NOT arrive early unless the Chief Rally Marshal has given permission. With the exception of rallies on licenced sites DO NOT approach the land owner to extend your stay.

Membership cards should always be available for inspection.

A family member is any permanent member of the full member’s household, not less than 18 years of age whom, desiring the status of a member and in respect of whom the necessary subscription has been paid to headquarters. 

A joint member is a permanent member of the full members household, not less than 18 years of age, who desiring the status of a member, has been nominated as a joint member to Headquarters by the full member.

You are advised to always carry a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher and fire blanket in your caravan. These should be regularly inspected to ensure their usefulness in an emergency. You should also acquaint yourself with the positioning of emergency equipment at each event.

If there is an emergency affecting the rally site the following warning will be given – LONG CONTINUOUS BLASTS ON A KLAXON OR CAR HORN or alternatively BY BANGING TWO PANS TOGETHER. On hearing the emergency signal all present on site will assemble as directed by the rally marshals. You should dress suitably for the weather conditions.

In line with Club policy, these should only be run between the hours of 9.00am and 8.00pm. If you wish to run a generator please tell the rally marshals on arrival as you may need to be sited independently.

Centre Secretaries will issue these to full members only on receipt of the nominal roll from Headquarters giving the members name and address. 

Boil your water. Some rallies may be dependent on water drawn from private sources. Please ensure that if there is any doubt about the supply that water is boiled before use in food preparation or consumption.

This should be kept to a minimum. People in adjacent caravans should not be able to hear your radio or television. Official or private parties should not, under any circumstances, annoy people not attending them. Please DO NOT BANG Caravan doors after 11pm or early in the morning.

These are not allowed on rally sites.

Must be exercised over children at all times. Games must not be played or bicycles ridden near the caravans or to the annoyance of other members. Flying Kites, Drones or model aircraft or playing with a ball is not allowed among or close to caravans. Parents are reminded of the dangers of leaving young children unsupervised in caravans; the children’s safety and behaviour remain the parent’s responsibility.

You must park as directed by the rally marshals. Normal practice is to place the off side front corner of the caravan to the pitch marker and the tow car to the nearside of the caravan. This may be varied at the discretion of the rally marshal to take account of site conditions.

If you wish to be parked beside other members, you should ideally arrive with them, as it may not be possible to reserve pitches for them. The Chief Rally Marshall has sole discretion in this matter.

Please be ready to pay your rally fee to the rally marshals on entering the site.

These are volunteer members of the Centre who are responsible for the organisation and conduct of the event. The Chief Rally Marshal must ensure compliance with all arrangements made with landowners etc. You are therefore asked to comply with any request from the Rally marshals concerning the running of the event. In particular, you must report to the rally marshals on arrival at the site.

CC or yellow rectangle signs with a black arrow will supplement the directions in the handbook entry where needed.

If you are expecting visitors, you should notify the rally marshals and tell your visitors to report to the rally marshals on arrival so that they can be properly directed and sign the visitors book.

This rule is to prevent excessive damage to the landowner’s property and applies to all vehicles even those with 4-wheel drive. When the rally field is wet and unsuitable for vehicular movement, a yellow flag will be flown. You must not move your vehicle on, off or about the rally field without the express permission of the rally marshals.
