What to expect:-

The Norfolk Centre are pleased to welcome you to any of the rallies listed in the rally programme. Our rallies are simply a gathering of Caravan Club members, for a weekend or holiday, to promote friendship and common interests, in a light hearted manner and having some fun along the way.

The rally Marshals are ordinary Centre members who have volunteered their time to run and organise the rally, which includes arranging the site and services, signing the approach to the rally field and arranging the programme for our entertainment, which may include social evenings, local events, competitions and sports activities, or perhaps a trip. All of which you may join in, or of course, you are free to do your own thing.

It is quite simple to book these rallies. Just complete one of the rally booking slips and post it or email the marshal from the rally programme on the website giving them as much notice as possible, and not later than the stipulated date. You will find their name, address and telephone number at the bottom of each of the rally details.

When you go to your booked rally, follow the directions given in the rally book, and when you are near the site you will see our direction signs which are Yellow with NCC RALLY in BLACK lettering. As you enter the site you will see the rally marshals caravan, which is usually the first in the field and which will have a rally marshals sign beside it. Please stop by their caravan, introduce yourselves and advise them if it is your first rally. They will give you an envelope containing information of the programme for the rally, any competitions. tickets for socials or events that may have been arranged, your first rally plaque showing that you attended the rally, and printed on the front, your cost of the rally.

You will then be shown to your pitch, normally marked with a peg, which you draw the offside front corner of your caravan up to, unless told otherwise. It is normal practice to park your car on the off-side of your caravan, thus enabling easy access to all caravans for other ralliers and emergency vehicles. You will be advised where to find the drinking water tap and the elsan disposal point of which both should be signed. The drinking water tap must not be used for the cleaning of or direct charging of your toilet. Dry waste/rubbish should be taken home with you unless the rally marshals have made arrangements for its disposal. You must take note of and abide by the few Centre Rules that are listed in the yearbook and on this website.

As soon as possible, the Chairman for the rally will call on you and welcome you to our Centre and to your fist rally. He/she will also tell you about the flagpole meeting which normally takes place towards the end of the rally, and is where we have a get-together introduce our fist ralliers and our visitors, thank our marshals, hold a raffle, give out details of future events and results of any competitions.

Why not give it a try and please come and join us, as we all rally for pleasure and aim to share many enjoyable rallies.
