Chairman’s Message
I begin this message by thanking you all for your patience and support during these difficult
and unprecedented times and I hope that you and your families are safe and well. The
Coronavirus, and in turn Government restrictions, have severely impacted on the number of
Events that we could hold, with only 7 out of 33 planned taking place during 2020. I
would like to thank those Marshals who put in a lot of effort and hard work to ensure that their
Events were Covid secure.
However, at the time of writing this message we still have a number of Events for 2021
without Marshals. It is hoped that in 2021 our caravans/motor homes will do more miles than
our wheelie bins have done this year!
As we prepare for 2021, we cannot predict what the situation will be like and if we will still
have to run Events with Covid 19 restrictions in place. In the absence of an Event
Secretary, my sincere thanks to Paula, who with help from the Committee have managed to
put together a full programme of Events.
This year saw the introduction of our new website with online booking and payment system.
Tony, assisted by Claire are to be thanked and congratulated for their hard work, for what is
an extremely useful tool for this Centre.
One of the Events that managed to go ahead this year was our 35th Birthday
Celebrations. During the weekend a sponsored walk was undertaken, and 5 West
Dorset members performed their version of the ‘Full Monty’. We raised £1,460 in aid of the
Chairman’s Charity.
To those Committee members that have decided not to stand for re-election, I thank you for
your support and efforts during your time on the Committee. I welcome the nominations for
2021 of Luke and Laura Harris and hope that they bring fresh ideas to the table.
Looking ahead, there will be Officer and Committee positions available for 2022. A growing
number of Centre’s are going into hibernation due to being unable to fill posts on their
Committees. Let us hope that the West Dorset Centre does not find itself in
this unfortunate position.
Finally, please take care of yourselves and stay safe. I do hope that the current situation
improves during 2021, and that Sue and I will meet up with you very soon.
Paul Scard
Chairman
West Dorset Centre

PLEASE NOTE: Events held on commercial sites may attract full payment before the

owners and the contract we have entered into with them. Most commercial sites require
the final numbers at least 10 days prior to the start date of the event. After this time
should you cancel, the site will expect full payment from the Centre. You are therefore
liable for this payment. If you have not made a payment before the event and the Centre
has to pay for a pitch because you have cancelled, the Treasurer will send you an
invoice for the amount.
Event marshals will always try to avoid paying site fees for cancellations by talking to
the site owners to see if the charges can be waivered.
When you send your booking slip in you sign to say:- I accept responsibility for
expenses incurred on my behalf should I not attend

HAVE YOU BEEN ON AN EVENT YET?
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS?
It is simply a gathering of Caravan and Motorhome Club members, for a weekend or
holiday, to promote friendship, pursue many pleasures and pastimes in a light hearted
manner, and have some fun along the way. You should never feel obliged to join in
anything which does not interest you.
The event marshal is an ordinary member who volunteers to organise and run the
event. This usually includes arranging the event with the land owner, signing the
approach to the event field and making sure there is a fresh water supply, facilities for
the disposal of waste water, toilet emptying and containers for the disposal of general
rubbish.
Event marshals may arrange a social on a Saturday evening, which is family orientated.
It may include games for the children or dancing for all ages and during the summer,
perhaps a BBQ on the field.
The event usually starts at noon unless stated otherwise; this is to allow the event
marshals sufficient time to prepare for the event, so please do not arrive before this
time.
On arrival at the field please stop at the event office, where you will be given an
envelope containing the event programme and simple advice on local amenities,
restrictions and arrangements for waste water etc. Towards the end of the event Centre
News Update will be held for people to gather together to welcome any visitors and new
members, announce forthcoming events, hear the results of any competitions and
extend thanks to those who have run the event.
All you need in addition to items you would normally expect to take on a commercial
site, are your own toilet with a water container to fill it (toilets must never be taken to
the drinking water tap as this is a serious health hazard), a waste bin for dry waste and
simple wooden wedges and blocks which may be required for sloping fields.
The field is marked out to ensure there is ample spacing between caravans and a
pleasing appearance.
it is intended that the front offside corner of the caravan is on the marker and the
owner’s car is parked along the offside.
PLEASE NOTE: The speed limit on the event field is 5MPH
Photographs may be taken to publicise media images of events to all members of the
Caravan and Motorhome Club and the public, via the internet and publications. If you do
not wish a member of your family to be included in these photographs please inform the
event marshals.
ALL PERSONS ATTENDING EVENTS AND SOCIAL GATHERINGS DO SO
ENTIRELY AT THEIR OWN RISK. NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR PERSONS OR
PROPERTY IS ACCEPTED BY THE ORGANISERS OR THE CARAVAN AND
MOTORHOME CLUB.
