Did you know
that we have a locally-based Caravan and Camping Club?
The
Charities Caravan and Camping Club has now been running for a year. During this
time we have raised well over £1000 for various local charities. These include
the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance Appeal, SCOPE around
Grantham, St Francis Special School in Lincoln, Bassetlaw Hospital Special Baby
Care Unit and Radio Humberside St Andrew’s Children’s Hospice Appeal.
The New Year
2001 rally in Dunston alone raised £270 for Scope and £55 for the Air Ambulance. And all of the people who attended
enjoyed a New Year celebration to remember!
The aim of
the Club is to promote friendly family rallies and to help those less fortunate
than ourselves by raising money for local worthwhile causes. Membership covers
the period of January to December each year and the cost is a mere £7, of which
£2 is donated to an annually nominated charity ( this year the Air Ambulance
Appeal).
We hold a
Public Liabilities Insurance policy and a Certificate of Exemption issued by the
Department of the Environment, Transport and Regions which is valid until the
year 2004. We are also members of ACCEO (Association of Caravan and Camping
Exempted Organisations) which brings benefits to members such as competitive
unit and equipment insurance, and rallies with the organisation.
The Rally
Programme for 2001 includes a Barn Dance in Dunston (March), Mothering Sunday
weekend in Sherwood Forest, Spring Bank Holiday near Matlock, Summer Bank
Holiday near Filey and many others.
