Welcome To The Cheshire Centre Of The Caravan And Motorhome Club Web Site
Latest Rallying Guidance 18 May 2021:
Dear Members
Following the latest guidance from CAMC we are advising the following key restrictions in place for rallying from 17th May, under Stage 3 of the governments roadmap.
Rallies
NO Paperwork or rally plaques to be distributed on the rally field. However these can be distributed electronically. Plaques can be given out at a later date.
Visitors
Visitors are still NOT permitted on the rally field (and this is aligned with the current Club site regulations), to comply with the guidance to take steps to minimise household mixing and maintain social distancing. Only those members registered on the rally booking form and arriving on the same day as the outfit can attend. It is therefore not allowed to leave the rally field and return with additional family or friends.
Catering
CAMC do not recommend that there is any catering offered at a rally at this time. This does not stop rally attendees from gathering in the correct size groups of 30 or less with their own refreshments.
Caravans & Awnings
Up to 6 people or 2 households will be able to meet indoors.
Socials
Outside gatherings are now permitted for up to groups of 30.
People should continue to keep their distance from anyone not in their household or support bubble (COVID-secure rules remain for the workplace and businesses, such as in shops, hospitality and tourism)
Marquees / Tents
Outdoor shelters such as marquees/tents can have a roof but must have at least half of the area of their walls open when in use to allow for adequate ventilation.
Outside entertainers are permitted. Please check the Government guidance for further information.
Organisers should also mitigate risk to public health by controlling attendance, limiting numbers to 30 to take account of the space and ventilation of a venue and implementing effective infection prevention and control measures.
Children Sports Events
Because of the Informal or self-organised sports restrictions we (CAMC) are NOT covered by any exemptions. Where the rules mention ‘organised’ sport, this means sport which is formally organised by a qualified instructor, club, national governing body, company or charity and follows sport-specific guidance. If the sport is not organised by one of these groups (for example, some friends having a kickabout) or the sport’s NGB guidance is not being followed (for example, a football club ignoring the FA’s guidance), this is considered to be ‘informal’ or ‘self-organised’ sport.
The rallies therefore affected are:-
Rally 21.1 – Children sports is NOT permitted
Rally 22.1 - as above
Rally 26.3 – Hopefully all legal restrictions are lifted by 21 June - but we need to wait on Govt confirmation
Rally 27.1 - As above
When Stage 4 is announced (21st June) your committee will update the guidance based on CAMC advice.
We as a committee have today been informed by the CAMC that “If rally attendees do not adhere to the CAMC rules then the Centre Committee are within their right to notify the member that they are not following the guidance and may face disciplinary action” Sorry if this seems harsh, but these rules and guidance notes are in place for a reason.

Welcome To The Cheshire Centre:
We are one of the 69 Centres listed in the Caravan and Motorhome Club Sites Directory and Handbook and, if you are a Member of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, you may join us without any additional subscription. If you have Joint and Family Membership, they automatically become members as well. Cheshire Centre Rallies are open to all Caravan and Motorhome Club Members irrespective of whether or not they are registered to a local centre.
Our members range from 0 to 90 with everyone in-between, likewise, the caravans range from small caravans to large motor homes. However, we like to feel that we are just one large extended family and that help or advice, should you need it, is never far away.
The centre organise rallies throughout the year, usually locally, though at holiday times breaks may be arranged throughout the UK and abroad. All of the rallies have their own individual ’character’; some are quiet affairs with nothing organised other than a get together for a cup of tea /coffee while others have organised socials which may be in the local village hall or the field in summer; yet others will have activities organised all weekend long! Participation is entirely up to you, but one thing will always be true, you will always receive a warm welcome.
Some rallies are held on commercial sites, often at a discounted rate, other rallies are often exceptional value for money with only nominal charges applied.
Please find an electronic version of our rally brochure above this window for your perusal. All up to date information can be found on this web site.
Whichever you choose, we are sure that rallying will add a new dimension to your caravanning.
We hope to see you on a rally field in the near future.
For further information please e-mail the Centre Secretary secretary@cheshirecentre.co.uk
