A Message From Your Chairman
Dear Fellow Members,

Welcome to the 2019 rally season. I am looking
forward to a busy year with a full rally programme
with both winter and summer events and hopefully
the weather will be just as kind as it was last year.
I thank the retiring Chairman David Brown and
Graham Morris and Mac McArthur for their sterling
efforts with the Newsletter and Website.
I welcome our new Committee Members Andy, Julie, Geoff and Veronica and
thank Newsletter Editor Paul and Webmaster Mike for coming on board.
The winter programme is in full swing now with two breakfasts, a Christmas
coffee morning, skittles and New Year dinner - thanks to Glenys. Don’t forget
to put all the dates in your diaries!

We have a new rally site this year at Bierley, together with some old favourites,
and thanks must go to Ken for all his hard work in arranging the summer
programme.
As your new Chairman I am looking forward to working with all the Committee
in keeping the IOW Centre running to serve our Members.
This year`s National will be at Ragley Hall at Alcester in Warwickshire and is
well worth attending. We ourselves are booked in with tickets for the evening
entertainment of ELO and ABBA tribute bands (I have my ear defenders ready
in the motorhome!) and there are plenty of other things going on to keep
young and old entertained.
Wishing you all a very happy rally season and look forward to meeting you at
the rallies and our winter events.
Regards,
Jeff Johnson

BOOKING A RALLY
 Why not try a rally? You don’t know what you’re missing!
You will meet like-minded people who have a love of the great outdoors
and be part of a social gathering that becomes like an extended family.
Book in via the website, or the Rally Secretary.
There may be social activities arranged, but you choose to join in with
what you want to, when you want to. We usually meet on a Friday
afternoon and leave on a Sunday following “Flag”. (This is the
closing bit of the Rally.)
You will see from the rally venues what facilities each site has to offer.
However it is a requirement to have your own sanitation facility.
Go on give it a try!
All rallies can be booked on the website www.iowcentrecamc.co.uk or by
phoning the Rally Secretary Ken Bolton on 01983 402059.

THE SOUTH WEST REGION
                          What’s it all about?
The Isle of Wight Centre is one of ten Centres that comprises the
South West Region. Each of those ten Centres has two
representatives that attend the Regional Council once every quarter.
The aims of the Regional Council are as follows :-
    To represent you, the members, by raising any points of view that
     you may have at the Club Council
    To provide a forum to discuss and solve local problems at
     regional level
It is sometimes necessary to seek advice from the Exec. Committee or
the staff at East Grinstead. This means that every member of the Club
can use the Regional Council to access all levels of the Club’s
management structure.
        Your South West Region representatives this year are:
                    Jeff Johnson & David Lumley

Could you be a Rally Marshal?

So that we may enjoy our rallies to the full we
need Rally Marshals to help run them. We hope that the following
guidelines will help you to decide that supporting the Centre in this way
is well worth doing. If you feel that you can help us in this way, please
contact our Rally Secretary, Mr. Ken Bolton (01983 402059).
Please remember it’s your rally and you can make it as simple or as
complicated as you wish. It is not a competition to see who can make
the biggest rally. Whatever you plan, you can be assured that the Rally
Secretary or any Committee Member will be willing to help and offer
any advice that you may need.
THE EQUIPMENT
Rally signs:     These need to be erected as they direct members
                 to the site.
Flag and pole:   Not always required on a commercial site, but it will
                 help members to find you on a large site.
Other signs:     Dogs on lead, Rally Office, 5mph, need to be displayed
Pitch markers:   Normally only required on green field sites where a
                 large number of vans are expected. (6 metres apart)
The tea box:     Most important, this contains the tea, coffee, teapot
                 kettle, and bell.
Some of these items are usually passed from rally to rally but if that has
not been possible the Rally Secretary will be holding them. Other items
of equipment include the marquee, generator, heaters, urn, and tables.
These are stored in the trailer which we can always arrange to be
towed to the site.
                                    30
PRIOR TO THE RALLY
You will need to acquaint yourself with the site. This will enable you to
plan the siting of the vans and know where the fresh water and Elsan
points are. When siting vans please remember the 6 metre rule.
You will also need to check the tea box for provisions including milk and
biscuits, and if you are going to use the generator you will need to
check that there is enough petrol. You will be provided with a rally
sheet and centre envelopes showing the members attending and the
fees they need to pay. If you are not sure how to do the paperwork
please ask the Treasurer or any member of the Committee, who will be
pleased to help.

NOW FOR THE RALLY
Arrive in plenty of time to get yourself sited preferably by the entrance
to the rally so that people may see you as they arrive, check the
equipment, get the signs out, peg the field out if needed and get the
flag up. Then make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, whatever you prefer.
As members arrive give them your programme for the rally along with
the brown envelopes showing them the payment required.
Unless you’ve made any special plans for the rally such as competitions,
games or any other entertainment, you can now relax and enjoy the
rally. At the end, pay the site owner and give the balance of payments
collected to the Treasurer, along with any receipts showing what you
have spent.

FLAG
A lot of people are confused by the term Flag, but all it refers to is the
closing of the rally. As Rally Marshals you will need to provide tea,
coffee and biscuits, thank the people for coming and give out the
results of any competitions that you may have run. The Rally Secretary
may have something to announce regarding future rallies followed by
the Chairman or a Centre Officer thanking you most warmly for
organising such a perfect rally.

RALLY INFORMATION
Rallies take the form of weekend gatherings of both caravan and
motorhome owners who have a common interest in their hobby.
Members are not organised but are free to relax and join in as they wish.

those shown on the Centre website.

Marshals beforehand that it is convenient for them and that they will be
available to see you on to the site. As a matter of courtesy and to comply
with insurance requirements it is important that rally-goers do not arrive
on site prior to the designated time.
Please be aware that if, for any reason, you do arrive on site before the
Rally Marshals you may be asked to re-site your van.
Water will be available on or near the site. However, Members are

walking or playing between caravans and motorhomes.

RALLY CODE OF CONDUCT
The Committee wishes to see the Isle of Wight Centre maintain a very high
standard of Caravanning and Motor Caravanning and has drawn up the
following Code of Conduct.

1. RALLY MARSHALS These are appointed by the Centre Committee to take
   charge and be responsible for the organization and conduct of the Rally.
   Members are therefore asked to comply with any request of the Rally
   Marshal concerning the running of the Rally. In particular, all members
   are asked to report to the Rally Marshals upon arrival at the Rally site.
   This also applies to friends and relatives visiting you at the Rally Site.
2. MEMBERS are requested to co-operate with the Rally Marshals in the
   placing of their van and towing vehicles on the pitch as indicated.
3. THE CENTRE has a policy of no place saving, to make the task of the
   Rally Marshal easier. If you wish to be together, then please arrive to-
   gether.
4. THE CENTRE COMMITTEE reserve the right to refuse the use of a site to
   any Member or to request any Member to remove his / her Caravan or
   Motorhome from the site.
5. TENTS are not normally permitted at Centre Rallies. The only
   exceptions are toilet tents or pup tents to be used by children or
   grandchildren of ralliers.
6. DOGS & CATS are welcome when kept under control of a responsible
   person at all times during a rally. Whilst on the rally site pets must be
   kept on a lead. It is always desirable to exercise pets well away from
   vehicles. Normally the field perimeter should be used for their natural
   functions and they should always be cleaned up afterwards. Failure to
   observe this simple request can cause ill feeling amongst members.

                                      33

7. SAFETY Thoughtless actions often create dangers!! Therefore when
   on site, please observe the following precautions:-
  a. Drive at no more than 5 mph (walking pace).
  b. Always be on the alert for children playing or running between
     units.
  c. Learner drivers are not permitted to drive on a Rally Field.
  d. Do not play ball or similar games near units.
  e. On most sites we hope to provide a games area away from the
     units.
  f. Units must be sited at least 6 metres away from each other.
  g. Visitors cars must be parked in an area designated by the Rally
     Officer.
  h. Young children should never be left alone in Caravans or
     Motorcaravans.
  i. Never be without a fire extinguisher, fire blanket and a first aid kit.
8. RESPECT Do not cause annoyance to other Ralliers with unnecessary
   noise or by loud playing of radios, TV’s etc. 23:00 is considered late
   enough to end all noisy activities.
9. COMPLAINTS Any Centre member finding dissatisfaction on any
   matter, should submit their complaint in writing to the Committee
   through the Centre Secretary.
