Rallies and Gatherings

Crowborough Rally The 2009 Rally Calendar contains information on Rallies and Gatherings that have been organised for the year. Rallies and Gatherings are both sanctioned by the Club and are held at recommended sites with a minimum standard of equipment and services.

Further details of rallies and gatherings, together with booking arrangements can be found in the latest issue of our Quarterly Magazine Contours. All members attending a rally are required to abide by the Rally Rules.

We are always pleased to hear from members who are interested in organising a rally themselves. If you feel that you might consider this then you might like to read the Marshals' Information Pack. If you wish to know more then please contact your regional co-ordinator (details are in the current edition of the Club magazine).

What are Rallies and Gatherings?

A Rally is booked through the Club, usually at preferential rates. Experienced members of the club are asked to marshal the Rally. This means that they will be on site to welcome you to the Rally, and to help with any problems you have putting up your unit or with the site. There will be some kind of social programme organised, depending on how many people are there. Everyone is welcome to join in. There will often be a coffee morning with a raffle, games or puzzles for the children and a barbecue or get together on the Saturday evening (if it is a weekend rally).

A Gathering is organised by a member of the Club; but you book direct with the site and tell them you are part of the Conway group. The social programme depends on the people there; there is nobody from the Club organising events so you will need to set things up yourselves. We suggest for first time campers that they go to a Rally rather than a Gathering.
