Dear Centre Member
This has certainly been a strange year for our hobby, with ever changing restrictions and requirements.
The good news is that we have been able to run 3 Rallies over August, September and October, including a 5 Day Rally.
The bad news of course is that we have had to cancel the vast majority of our events this year, including our AGM Rally, AGM Meeting and Rally Social Event, which was scheduled for 9th – 11th October.
With Covid restrictions in mind, we have rescheduled the AGM Meeting to Saturday 30th January 2021, starting at 11am prompt (doors open from 10.30am). Numbers in attendance are currently limited to 30, although we will increase that number if we are able to, and for this reason, only 1 member per Family can attend.
We have decided to run a Virtual AGM at the same time for those who cannot attend, but would like to be a part of the process.
To enable this to run smoothly, we have placed booking links on the website, and below, where you can enter your details and book your place:
Attendance AGM https://www.cognitoforms.com/EastWarwickshireCentreCaravanClub/BookingFormAGM
Virtual AGM https://www.cognitoforms.com/EastWarwickshireCentreCaravanClub/BookingFormAGMVirtual
Please note only the first 30 bookings made to attend the meeting (under current restrictions) will be given a place.
All bookings will be acknowledged by email, and all AGM Documents will be forwarded to you in good time for the meeting.
Those booking into the virtual meeting will receive the link and password 5 days prior to the meeting.
We are still short of Committee Members, and would like to encourage you to think about joining us and help to run the Centre.
At present there are barely enough people to form a Committee for next year.
Please contact me for a Nomination Form, which can be used by any Full, Joint, Family or Life Member to put their name forward for any of the Committee Positions. It should be returned to the Secretary no later than Saturday 16th January 2021.
Please give some serious thought to how you could help our Centre survive. Other Centres have not been so lucky, with 2 English, 2 Welsh Centres closing, and 2 Scottish having to amalgamate, all because of lack of Committee Members.
We don't want to be next.
Best Regards
Sylvia Barry

The rally at Hill Farm Moreton Paddox will NOT open on the 3rd July (or even 4th), Barry is working with the landowner to work out a date later in the month. Rallies will not have any 'Social' element for the foreseeable future, indoor or outdoor, I think the outdoor social aspect could be addressed quite quickly, but Barry is waiting for Covid19 process instructions from CAMC which are due in the next 2 weeks.

17th March 2020
Good afternoon everyone.
The information we were expecting, but hoping not to get just yet.
Updated information from HQ concerning Rallies, Meetings and Social Events.
Basically,
1. Social Events (including those associated with Rallies) should be cancelled
2. Committee Meetings should be operated via Skype, Whatsap etc. where needed
3. Rallies can continue at this time, with various precautions.
It may be that over 70’s may not attend (their choice) leading to cancelling Rallies due to low numbers Over 70’s may not be able to run Rallies
Cheers
Barry
Statement: The National
Dear Member
Following recent Government advice regarding the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak, we’re really sorry to confirm the National, at Belvoir Castle, will not be going ahead this year.
This decision has been taken following the Government’s announcement to implement increased social distancing, avoid large crowds gathering and to ensure we don’t put further strain on the emergency services.
We know the National is held dear by Club members, volunteers and staff alike, but the safety and wellbeing of our members, volunteers and staff is of paramount importance, so I’m sure you will support this announcement.
We would ask that you don’t call us while we are working through the process of managing the cancellation of the event, we will begin issuing full refunds as soon as possible. Please bear with us, this may take up to 28 days to complete.
This decision has not been taken lightly, we appreciate your support and understanding during these difficult times.
With best wishes
Nick Lomas
Director General
