What is a Rally

It is simply a gathering of Caravan and Motorhome Club members for weekends or longer holidays. Rallies take place at all sorts of venues from local fields to stately homes. Our members range from young families to retired couples. You can do as little or as much as you like from sitting and relaxing to joining in a range of social activities, which may include:-
• Sports - Fishing, Swimming, Football etc.
• Dancing - Discos, Line, Sequence
• Quizzes and Games
• Walking
• Party Nights, Barbeques.

• Following the directions in the handbook make your way to the venue. As you get near watch out for the special YPC/Pen9 signs they will direct you to the entrance.
What happens next?
When you arrive stop at the rally marshals caravan, this is usually near the entrance and has a rally 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 weekend’s events. Including the times of the opening and closing 'flags'.
These are simply an opportunity to meet your fellow ralliers, welcome visitors and new members, hear results of competitions, announce forthcoming events and rallies, and thank the marshals for organising the weekend.
Is there anything else you need to know?
• You will need your own toilet facilities
• Electric hook up is not generally 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.
• 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 try it come and join us as we rally for pleasure and aim to share many enjoyable times.
