Unfortunately, due to re grassing of the outfield next Autumn, Kirkburton CC will not be available for rallies.  Children in Need will be at another venue providing we can find one.  It is hoped this can be held at a venue where we can have a 'proper' social.  Watch this space and the Newsletter for details.

What is a Caravan Rally ?

Have you been to a caravan rally yet?
The Yorkshire Pennine Centre would be pleased to welcome you to any of the rallies listed on this website or listed in the Yorkshire Pennine Rally Handbook.
Interested?
Well why not come and give it a try, you do not need to be a member of the Yorkshire Pennine Centre, however you do need to be a member of the Caravan Club.
Find the rally in the handbook or on the rally programme page, complete a rally slip and send it to the Rally Marshal or contact the Rally Secretary who will give you the contact details of the Rally Marshal. You then need do nothing else until the day of the rally. Following the directions in the rally handbook or the directions given by the Rally Marshall, make your way to the venue. As you get near the venue, watch out for the special YPC signs (Yellow background with red lettering) they will direct you to the entrance of the Rally field.
 

What Happens Next?
When you arrive, Stop at the rally marshals caravan, this is usually near the entrance and is clearly marked with a marshal sign outside. Here you will be welcomed and given general information, such as where the water tap is etc. You will also be given an envelope which contains details of the weekends events, including times of the opening and closing 'Flags'. These events are simply an opportunity to meet your fellow ralliers, welcome visitors from other centres and new members. At the closing Flag, the results of any competitions are announced along with forthcoming events and rallies. The marshal will be formally thanked for their efforts in organising the weekend. by a member of the Yorkshire Pennine committee.
 
Is there anything else you need to know before attending a Rally?
You will need your own toilet facilities, there will be a chemical toilet disposal point, Elsan. Electric hook up is not usually available so make sure your batteries are fully charged and you have enough gas to last the weekend. At some venues you may find your pitch is slightly sloping so always carry a levelling ramp and some blocks. On most weekend rallies be prepared to take dry waste home with you, please use your local home facilities to recycle your bottles, cans, plastic and paper.  The Rally fee is usually paid to the Marshal on arrival at the rally, except for holiday rallies, these are usually paid in advance.
On your first rally you may not know any of our members but we hope that our welcome and friendship will make you want to come and rally with us again. Why not give it a try, come and join us as we rally for pleasure and aim to share many enjoyable times.
