Rules and Information for People attending East Warwickshire Centre Rallies. 1. At all East Warwickshire rallies the authority for the conduct of the rally shall be vested with the Rally Officer or his or her appointed deputy. In the event of a member breaking these rules or any other rules in force at the time, the Rally Officer shall fully investigate the matter and shall be authorised to TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION and may request such member to remove his outfit from the site, if deemed necessary, after consultation with the Committee person(s) present. A full report will be prepared by the Rally Officer and given to the Committee for such action to be taken as deemed necessary. 2. Each
member must report to the Rally Officer on arrival at the site with his outfit
before pitching, members will pay site fees and all monies due, a member must be
prepared to produce his membership card if requested. All centre rallies
commence at 5.00pm.on Friday unless stated otherwise. Please
do NOT arrive before the stated opening time. All caravans to be sited on
the Rally Officers directions. Each caravan must be placed on the pitch as
instructed by the Rally Officer. A distance of not less then 25ft (where space
permits) should be allowed between one unit and the next, taking into
consideration persons wishing to erect awnings. The towing vehicle should
wherever possible be placed on the offside of the caravan. It
is acceptable for caravans fitted with a door on the offside to be parked with
the ‘A’ frame pointing in to opposite direction to the caravans parked on
either side. In these cases the rear nearside corner of the caravan should be on
the peg. (I am writing to the club to
ask for guidance on this) 3. All East Warwickshire rallies carry an administration fee, anyone booking into a rally and not arriving will be expected to pay the current admin. fee plus any expenses incurred on your behalf (newspapers, plaque, etc.) Current Admin: £1.60 for Rallies of two nights duration, 80p per night for Rallies of 3 nights or longer duration. This will be collected by the Dues Officer. For weekend or Bank Holiday rallies the fee will not be levied if you cancel your reservation no later than the Monday prior to the rally. For rallies where a deposit is required, this is non returnable and includes the Administration fee. Where In the unforeseen event of a rally being cancelled only members who have sent in the official rally slip by the specified date will be notified of cancellation and informed of the alternative arrangements. 4. At ‘drive on and site’ rallies the reservation of pitches will not be permitted. At normal weekend rallies of 2 nights the reservation of pitches is limited to one pitch which must be adjacent to the member reserving the pitch. If site conditions/layout allow, the Rally Officer may relax the one pitch rule at his absolute discretion. On Holiday rallies of 3 nights or more the reserving of pitches may be allowed at the discretion of the Rally Officer and also assuming site conditions/layout allow. The above rules do not apply to Rally Officers requiring pitches for assistants, or to certain Committee run rallies when it is necessary for the Committee to be sited adjacent to each other e.g. AGM where the entertaining of official guests may be necessary. 5. Members must provide their own toilets and must empty the contents into the Pit or disposal point provided; it must not be charged or rinsed directly from the drinking water tap.

Dogs must be kept on their leads and under control at all times, the lead must not exceed 10 ft in length and when tethered in the proximity of the caravan should be shorter if it would inconvenience the rightful passage of anyone who has cause to be within the stated 10 ft.

Members must ensure that their children do not trespass or damage the site owners or adjoining property. Parental control must be exercised over children at social events and on the Rally Field.

peace and quiet. This is in accordance with section 12 of the Club Site Rules,
