2 www.berkshirecentrecaravanclub.co.uk 2Rallying Arrangements – from 12th April 2021
(updated 25th July 2021)
The arrangements for holding and attending rallies have been set up by the Club and
Centres during 2020 to be COVID-19 Safe. The main points involved in holding rallies in
England in the current situation and for the foreseeable future are explained here.
Different guidelines and dates are applicable in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and
they are not covered here.
Any change to guidelines or law announced by Government or the Caravan & Motorhome
Club override the information in this Rally Book. Changes will be communicated to
members and these guidelines will be updated and re-published when necessary.
• Rallies are permitted to take place from the start of Step 2, expected to be from
12th April 2021. During Step 2, rallies are on a ‘campsite only’ basis. There can be
no social activities at a rally; none will be arranged by Rally Officers, either indoors
or outdoors. There will not be Flagpole meetings. Ralliers should not erect
awnings or tents for the purpose of socialising.
• During Step 3 (started from 17th May 2021), there can be social events for a
maximum of 30 people outdoors. So social events and Flagpole meetings will be
introduced as the guidelines and circumstances allow. The Rule of Six applies to
indoor meetings and two households are permitted to meet on that basis – an outfit
represents one household.
• During Step 4 (started from 19th July 2021), there are no longer any Covid
restrictions on rallies and social gatherings. There are still Covid-Secure Protocols,
with government and Club recommendation to continue following them. Rally
Officers and Members need to respect each others sentiments and actions
regarding Covid.
• All members must comply with the Government’s guidance at the time regarding
social contact and group size for meeting outdoors and indoors.
• A rally is not permitted if Lockdown is in force in the area where a rally is to be
held. Members who live in Lockdown areas may not travel to any rally. Up to now,
the Club has been following the approach of allowing rallies during the periods
when the majority of Club sites can be open. With the Tier system that was in
place during autumn 2020, rallies and travel were permitted in Tier1 and Tier 2
areas, but not in Tier3 or higher.
• Please book rallies as normal using the Centre website. The Committee appreciates
that members may be apprehensive to commit to attending a rally, but without
bookings in the few weeks approaching a rally, we cannot gauge the level of
interest. The Committee is reviewing the viability of rallies at its meeting each
month; rallies with too few bookings to be viable may well be cancelled.
• In the run-up to a rally, the Rally Officer will be in contact by email with all who
have booked to provide guidance on the rally and to request payment of fees.
Payment can be by cheque (made payable to “Berkshire Centre Caravan Club” and
posted to the Rally Officer) or by online banking (using the bank account details
that the Rally Officer will provide).
3 www.berkshirecentrecaravanclub.co.uk 3• Cancellations in advance of the rally for any reason are acceptable in the current
situation. Please contact the Rally Officer to cancel. The scheme of charging fees
for late cancellation is suspended until further notice and a full refund will be made
for all amounts that have been paid in advance. Non-arrivals (that is without
making contact with the Rally Officer before the rally) may still be charged.
• In advance of each rally, the Committee and Rally Officers are undertaking Covid-
related Health & Safety risk assessments. Up to and including Step 3, they were
being forwarded to the Club for the record. From Step 4, they are held on file by
the Centre.
• Rally signage will be arranged as normal unless notified otherwise.
• Pitching on rallies will leave as much space as possible between outfits, complying
with the minimum spacing requirements of 6m between facing walls and 3m clear
space around each unit.
• The water supply and elsan at each rally will have a supply of hand sanitiser,
supplied either by the site owner or the Centre.
• For the foreseeable future, rally plaques will be provided to members after the rally.
Plaque orders are being arranged in batches and are being co-ordinated by Marie
Woodward.
• Ralliers are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the Government
Covid guidelines that are in place at the location and time of the rally – in particular
social distancing and numbers in gatherings. For the purposes of counting
numbers, each outfit is a household (allowing for bubble arrangements). Rally
Officers and Committee members are not responsible for policing observance of the
Government Covid guidelines.
Committee Meeting Dates for 2021
Committee meetings are being held online using Zoom and are expected to be on the following Monday evenings.
The Committee may vary these dates or hold additional meetings as necessary to fit with handling the Covid situation.
11 January 8 February 8 March 12 April 10 May 7 June
12 July 16 August 20 September 11 October 8 November 13 December
Items that members wish to raise with the Committee should be in writing (email or post) and addressed to the Centre
Secretary. Thank you.
4 www.berkshirecentrecaravanclub.co.uk 4Notices
The points here explain the reasoning around items in this Rally Programme and present
some necessary information that is normally scattered through the book in a single place
to help with maintaining the rally programme as we go through 2021.
Guide to Rallying booklet
The Berkshire Centre’s Guide to Rallying booklet provides additional information about
how the Centre is run. Copies can be downloaded from the Centre’s website or are
available from the Secretary.
Advertisers
This year’s Centre Programme does not contain the same amount of advertising as usual.
With the Covid-19 situation, the recognised position that businesses in general have
priorities to remain solvent, no Committee members being willing to undertake the
Publicity Officer role, and the somewhat temporary and fluid nature of this Rally
Programme book, the Committee felt that it was not viable to try to secure advertising.
Changes to the Centre Programme
This Centre Programme contains as much information as is available at the time of going
to print. As the rallying year continues and Rally Officers put together their organisation
for rallies, it may be necessary to add, remove or amend any event at a rally. In
particular this year, there may be changes due to the ongoing situation with Covid-19.
It may be necessary for the Committee to amend the programme as circumstances
dictate. Updates are generally notified through monthly updates from Committee and on
the website and Facebook posts. We ask members to show understanding where
alterations occur.
Book-By Date
All rallies show a “book by” date. This is the date when the Committee will review if a
rally is viable for the numbers booked and can cancel it if necessary.
Please book early to avoid disappointment.
Site Fees
Site fees are correct at the time of printing, and all are per night unless stated otherwise.
The fees reflect the agreements between the Rally Secretary and the site owners.
Occasionally, changes are then made by site owners. Where the site fee is shown as
being inclusive of VAT, this has been applied at the current rate of 20%.
Some site fees are shown as “Depends on Numbers”, indicating there is a fixed fee for
hire of the venue, and the Rally Officers & Committee will set the site fee after the Book
By date.
Disclaimer
Readers should note that neither The Caravan and Motorhome Club nor the Berkshire
Centre can accept responsibility for the quality, safe delivery, satisfactory operation or
effectiveness of any product or service advertised or mentioned in this publication.
5 www.berkshirecentrecaravanclub.co.uk 5Exercising Dogs
Dogs must be exercised in accordance with guidelines at the site or venue. Dog waste
must be removed from all rally fields (including agricultural fields that may contain animal
waste) and be disposed of by members as per their normal domestic circumstances.
PLEASE DO NOT EXERCISE DOGS WITHIN SCHOOL GROUNDS.
The Rally Secretary has negotiated to allow dogs on rallies at school sites.
Please don’t jeopardise this privilege for future rallies.
Rally Finder on the Club Website
Want to know where holiday rallies are being run and when?
Want to know where other Centres are rallying on a particular weekend?
Want to know which Centres are rallying in a certain area on a particular date?
Log-in to the Caravan and Motorhome Club website then click Membership, Local Centres,
then Search Events and Rallies.
You can then search by any combination of: Rally/Event type: Short (5
nights), Overseas, Event Centre, Location (county), Country and Date.
Note that only a limited selection of Berkshire Centre rallies for 2021 have been submitted
to the Rally Finder and paper Programme Index for 2021, as the effort involved in
submission and the uncertainty over the year’s programme is not justified against the
benefit we achieve from attracting visiting members.
Centre Membership Renewal
Do not forget to re-register with the Berkshire Centre when you renew your Caravan and
Motorhome Club membership. It does not happen automatically. There are three ways to
renew:
• Log-in to the Caravan and Motorhome Club website www.caravanclub.co.uk, click
on My profile then My Membership where there is an option to Join or renew a Centre.
• Or you can renew Centre membership by phoning the Club on 01342 318 813.
• Or complete and return the Centre Registration form attached to your Club
membership renewal paperwork.
6 www.berkshirecentrecaravanclub.co.uk 6Berkshire Centre Competitions
The Competitions that we hold during the year each have some notes associated with
them. For this year, those notes are being collected into this one part of the book, to
make it easier to update the programme of rallies as the year unfolds. At our March 2021
meeting, Committee considered competitions and has decided to not hold any until the
Lantern Rally in autumn 2021. The Family Cup competition is also suspended until then.
March Hare Competition
This competition is an observation tour associated with a rally held in March. In
recent years, it has been a walking tour of the area local to the rally.
Golf Competition
One round of 18 holes of golf is played for three competitions:
• A Stableford competition is scored for the Bri-Mar Trophy. In the event of a
tie, a countback over 3 holes is used (then 6, 9 holes etc.) to establish a single
winner.
• A lowest gross score (ie. excluding handicap) is recorded for the Cyn-Daw
Trophy. Again, countback is used to establish a single winner.
• Nearest the Pin Trophy will be played for on a nominated hole.
The Bri-Mar Trophy is the senior trophy. A player with the best score for both
competitions is awarded the Bri-Mar Trophy; the next lowest gross score then wins
the Cyn-Daw Trophy.
Players must declare their handicap for the Stableford competition, either a club handicap
or one that is consistent with their most recent rounds (maximum 28 for gents, 36 for
ladies, teenagers and children).
Fishing Competition
The Centre’s Fishing Competition is open to Berkshire Centre members attending the rally.
Visitors are welcome to fish for pleasure. The competitions are:
T & H Angling Trophy: Highest adult weight Benham Cup: Highest junior weight
John Parker Cup: Lowest adult weight Christopher Cup: Sunday Pairs competition
All fish count except pike which must be immediately returned to the water. Only one rod
allowed in the water at a time; no baited rod to be left unattended. Barbless hooks and
lead-free weights must be used. Each competitor must have a Rod Fishing Licence which
can be obtained online or from Post Offices.

2021 Rally Programme
The Rally Programme presented on the following pages has dates, venues and social events set up mostly as they would
be for a normal year of rallying. Thank you to Rally Officers for volunteering to run the 2021 Programme. However,
none of us knows how much of this programme will be able to go ahead in this form, and the Committee will review the
feasibility of each rally as we go through the year in conjunction with the venues and Rally Officers.
If Rally Officers would like to add, change or remove any information at any point, then please contact Ian Grover or
Peter Biggs.
All updates to the programme will be notified using the Centre website, a monthly update email to members following
each Committee meeting and posts on Facebook.
This programme booklet will be updated and re-published as necessary through the year.
11 www.berkshirecentrecaravanclub.co.uk 11We extend our thanks to Winchester Caravans for advertising in this programme as part of a multi-year commitment.
