Chairman’s welcome

Hello Ralliers.

Welcome to the East Kent Rally Book, hopefully you will find some rallies that take your fancy. I thank the rally

marshals for volunteering to run rallies and for the variety of their content. Please support them this year.

I look forward to our Birthday Rally at Folkestone and our Dinner & Dance at the Upchurch Valley Golf Club. Darren

Burch will need to work hard to do us proud after last year’s fantastic events, so keep an eye on the Website for up

to date information, on both these events. And book in soon.

Thanks go to Michelle for her efforts in getting our advertisers for this year’s rally book. Her efforts allow us to give

the rally book to you free of charge.

And finally thank you for allowing me to serve a 2nd year as your Chairman. I hope to maintain the standards set by

my predecessors.

I look forward to meeting all of you on a rally field soon.

Regards

Derek & Sandra.

The Golden Envelope You may buy as many tickets as you wish at £1 each! The Number of tickets bought dictates the size of the Pot. Each “Draw Date” with the estimated amount of “Prize Money” will be announced in advance. If one of your tickets is drawn then you get to choose one of ten envelopes, one of which will be the Pot Winner. If you don’t pick the winning envelope you will get £20! You don’t have to be at the draw but your Ticket MUST be, in a friends hands! If the winning envelope is not picked then the Pot will be carried over to the next draw for which you will need to buy new tickets. The number of envelopes reduces each time the Pot is not won. So the Pot potentially can grow to huge proportions if the winning envelope is not picked! A percentage of the takings will go towards the “nominated charity”. Get your Tickets from our Charity Officer John Allen. £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £

Hi everybody,

With no youth council this year, I will be working with the adult committee to find ways for the youth of all ages to have fun at rallies.

I will continue to serve tuck with the help of Pat Johns, so please let me know what your favourite sweets are.

I am also interested to know what sort of activities you would like to do on the rally field.

Along with the adult committee, we plan to use the East Kent Centre sports equipment more this year, so please come and join in activities such as Boules, Lawn darts, Hagars Chess, Bat & Trap to name a few.

If you would like to join the youth or be a youth helper, please let me know.

I thank everybody in advance for the help that you will all hopefully be giving me over the next 12 months.

Craig Bailey.

What to expect on rallies…

…it is a gathering of Caravan Club members, for a weekend or holiday, to promote friendship and

pursue many pleasures, pastimes and sometimes sport, in a light hearted manner and have fun along the

way. You should never feel obliged to join in anything that does not interest you.

The Rally Marshal is an ordinary member, who has volunteered to organise and run the rally. This usually

includes arranging the rally, signing the approach to the rally field, and organising competitions and

entertainment for all ages. This may include a “Social” on Saturday evening, which is a family event or a

communal barbecue on the field in summer. They will also arrange the water supply and facilities for the

disposal of waste water and toilet emptying.

The starting time of rallies is stated in the handbook. This is to allow the Marshal sufficient time to prepare,

so please do not arrive before this time. On arrival at the field, drive up to the Marshals van, usually the

first on the field, where all will be revealed. Please advise them if this is your first rally. They will hand you

an envelope containing the rally programme, and printed on the front your name and papers that you have

ordered. Please place in the front window of your caravan.

Towards the end of the rally there is a Flagpole meeting. This is where ralliers gather with the Marshals to

hear the results of any competitions, Centre news, and to extend thanks to those who made the rally

possible, welcome visitors and new ralliers and announce forthcoming events, etc. Usually tea, coffee and

tuck shop are available from our Youth Section.

All you need in addition to items you would normally expect to take on a commercial site is your own toilet

together with a water container to fill it (toilets must NEVER be taken to the drinking water tap, this is a

serious health hazard), and waste bin for dry waste, which you have to take home with you. Simple

wooden wedges and packing pieces are sometimes required on sloping fields.

The Rally Marshal will site you to ensure adequate spacing between caravans, and the owners’ car is

parked along the offside of the caravan. If you have a second car or visitors with cars these must be

parked in specified parking area.

Why not give it a try? If in doubt give us a ring (any Committee Member or Rally Marshal in the book).

Don’t forget we all rally for pleasure and aim to share this pleasure with you.

I would like to take a minute to wish everyone well on the rally field and to say I hope you enjoy the rally

venues and programmes that have been put together this year.

We could not rally without our Marshals and their assistants, thank you for taking on this task and

remember I am here to give help and advice where possible.

We are always looking for new marshals and new ideas, so if you have been on a rally and have enjoyed

what you have seen or done and feel you would like to have a go at marshalling or assisting please speak

to myself or other committee members. There is work involved but it can be very rewarding and a lot of

fun, especially when you see people enjoying themselves all due to your efforts.

Thanks again to everyone for your help in getting this rally programme off the ground.

I look forward to seeing you on the rally field.

Margaret Kinchin (Hon. Rally Sec.).
