A Message From The Chairman
Dear Fellow Members,
I hope that you and your families are safe and well.
2020 is not a year that anybody would wish to en-
dure again, but as I write there is light at the end of
a very long dark tunnel with the development of a
vaccine for this terrible pandemic, which is being
given for the first time today, so that hopefully, by
Spring 2021, we will all have received it, life can go
back to normal and we can meet up and socialise
with family and friends again.
Andy, our Rally Secretary, has done a sterling job in producing a rally pro-
gramme (albeit provisional) for us with some new locations and of course, our
old favourite ones as well, but we must bear in mind that there may have to be
changes along the way. Sandra and I are so looking forward to resuming our
travels in our motorhome again and catching up with all our rallying friends.
No National Rally again this year, which is a real shame, but I have no doubt
that our proposed get togethers this year will be filled with fun and laughter.
The Committee has decided that we will for 2021 continue to again support the
Centre`s 2 current charities – Sight for Wight and the Isle of Wight Prostate
Cancer Support Group.
It remains for me to wish you all good wishes for an enjoyable Christmas and I
look forward to meeting up with you again on the rally field in 2021.
My thanks to all Centre members for their continued support in what has been
a very tough year.
Safe travels, happy rallying and may the weather always be kind.
Your Chairman,
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.
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 Centre’s website by providing as much information as
possible.

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 Governance Team
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.
For more information please visit www.southwestregioncc.org.uk.
Your South West Region representatives for 2021 are:
Jeff Johnson & David Lumley
Thank you to all our advertisers. We
really appreciate your support.
Please inform them when using their
services that you saw their advert in
this publication.

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, Andy Schofield - rallyseciowcc@gmail.com.
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.
22PRIOR 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.
All members are cordially invited to attend any rallies in this booklet or
those shown on the Centre website.
Rallies can be booked online by visiting the Centre website
www.iowcentrecamc.co.uk or by contacting the Rally Secretary - Andy
Schofield - rallyseciowcc@gmail.com.
Any unavoidable late alterations or cancellations will be notified either by
phone or email. Only those that have booked will be notified.
Unless otherwise stated rallies will start at 16:00 on Friday and close at
14:00 on Sunday. If you wish to arrive early please check with the Rally
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
advised to have an overnight supply on arrival, particularly if arriving late.
Your own sanitation will be required at all rallies. Where possible a
disposal point will be arranged.
You will need to take your dry litter home, including bottles, cans and
kitchen waste unless the rally site provides refuse facilities.
The speed limit on the rally field is 5 mph. Please watch out for anyone
walking or playing between caravans and motorhomes.
26RALLY 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 together.
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 and not be allowed to roam free. 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.
277. 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.
