Chairman’s Easter Update

Dear Members

It has been 5 months since becoming Chairman and hard to believe

that I am almost half way through my term. Where has that time

gone?

We have attended the Burns and the Dinner Dance rallies so far this

year and look forward to attending many more.

This year is the 60th anniversary of the Devon and Cornwall Centre

and to mark this milestone, we are hosting a Celebration Rally at

Mount Edgcumbe Country Park over the first May bank holiday. This

will be a fantastic event in a beautiful setting on the Rame peninsula

with access to great walks, a historic house and superb views of the

river Tamar and Plymouth sound. There is a packed programme for

the event with professional entertainment , representing a great

value weekend for all.

As Easter approaches, the rally season gets going with a great

selection of rallies for you to choose from. We have several Easter

rallies across the region. These are closely followed by the Family

Fun Weekend at Stoke Gabriel, the 60th Celebration Rally and, of

course, in May I, and several other Centre and family members, are

taking part in a tandem skydive at Dunkeswell on 21st May in aid of

our chosen charity Children’s Liver Disease Foundation. If anyone

would like to come and support us, there is a rally running at Escot

for this event.

All that remains is to ask that you enjoy your Easter break, enjoy

the 2016 rally programme and thank you for your continued support.

Martin & Catherine EASTER GREETINGS!

Secretary’s Ramblings at Easter

The weather is turning to Spring, so we are told by the forecasters, but the

snowdrops, daffodils and primroses are also telling us that Spring is nearly

here. Spring equals, for some, the first trip of the year out with the caravan,

when I maybe will get to meet some of you on the Rally Field.

The rally programme, hopefully, has something for everyone but the main

Centre event of the year is the 60th Anniversary rally being held at Mount

Edgecumbe from the 28th April to the 2nd May.

This incorporates the Chairman’s rally and therefore OPEN FORUM will take

place during the weekend. Why not come along and have your say? It is your

opportunity to ask questions of the committee.

Can I also remind you that when you renew your Membership with the

Caravan Club you MUST also renew your membership with the Devon &

Cornwall Centre. This can be done either by post, on line or telephone.

HAPPY EASTER

From the Rally Sec

Happy Easter everybody. Just a few words from me reference the Rally

Book for next year, I am trying to get the book out early again for next

year, so I would appreciate it if anybody wanting to run a rally in 2017

could complete the rally proforma (which can be found on the centre

web site) and send it to me via email as soon as possible but definitely

before the AGM as this is when I hope to start compiling the book

contents. I am then going to return them to the appropriate steward so

that they can double check that I have used the correct information,

dates etc. If proformae don’t reach me by the AGM they may not be

included in the book but will appear on the web page.

Regards Andy Harris - Rally Sec

Information Desk

Just a few lines to remind you that the Centre has a new website at

www.dandccc.co.uk.

With the new web site the old email addresses for the committee have

changed, they can now be found on the new web site.

The treasurer has asked that when you send her cheques for banking

can you please write the rally number on the rear of the cheques, as this

will make her life a little easier, thank you.

If you are putting on any social events the Centre has an account with

Bookers cash & carry. The Centre card for Bookers can be requested

from either the Chairman, Secretary or the Treasurer to enable you to

buy provisions.

The Family Fun Rally is nearly upon us (8th-10th April); a fun packed

weekend! Spaces still available with electric hookup.

The 60th Anniversary Celebration Rally of the Devon & Cornwall Centre

is taking place from 29th April until 2nd May. This also incorporates the

Chairman's Rally. Live entertainment with a packed programme!

Chairman's Challenge is taking place on 21st May - a 15000 feet tandem

skydive. The 'volunteers' are a combination of Centre members and

Martin's family. The Escot rally is coinciding with this event, so come

along and give them your support.

The Christmas Party rally running in Devon is at a new site this year. It

is taking place at Hillhead Caravan Club Site, Brixham. More details will

follow on the website.

There is a new site for a New Year Rally. More details to follow but this

is a commercial site with easy access and very good facilities. Please

see website for more details.

ENJOY YOUR EASTER RALLYING!
