4 A Message from our Chairman Dear Ralliers I would like to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to represent South Wales Centre, for the 2 nd year as Chairman. I have found that the first year proved to be very successful, with the Chairman s Rally being well attended (and I think everyone enjoyed the ducks!). I am very grateful to all the people who have stood for Committee (most are in their 2 nd year), those that volunteer as Rally Marshalls and the keen number of regular ralliers who support our rallies throughout the year. South Wales Centre would not survive without all of your help and effort, many thanks to all involved. Our new Vice Chairman (who is also Rally Secretary) Peter Crockett has been working tirelessly in securing venues for us for our 2018 rally season. There are quite a few new venues and even more pleasing to see new Rally Marshalls. We have kept the favourites (such as the Steam Rally in Much Marcle and the Elvis Festival in September). Following last year s Harvest Supper (which proved to be quite a feast), the next one hopes to be bigger and better! The Dinner Dance venue is back at the delightful venue of St Mary s Hotel & Golf Club in Pencoed. This event starts off our calendar year and I look forward to attending the various venues in the South Wales area. Last year saw South Wales Centre attending the North Wales Welsh National at Anglesey Showground. This was a lovely setting and South Wales narrowly missed 2 nd place by 1 point. This was an amazing effort by all who attended and I would like to thank John & Myra Thomas for all their hard work with organising the Sports teams. We hope that as many of you as possible will show your support to Gwent Centre, as they have supported us in the past by attending their 66 th Welsh National, which will be held at the Monmouthshire Showground from Thursday 23 rd August 2018 until Tuesday 28 th August I look forward to the year ahead and hope that Michelle and I get the opportunity to meet you, the members out on the rally field. 4

12 General Notes & Rules 12

13 Safety on Rallies A Welcome to new Ralliers 1. A Rally A Rally is a gathering of Caravan Club members who enjoy weekends away with fun and friendship thrown in. Your Rally Officers will be the people who have organised the weekend and will be the faces that greet you when you arrive. 2. Booking The pages that follow in this book give details of all South Wales Centre Rallies for the forthcoming year. To book your first Rally, complete all the requested details on one of the slips in the middle of this book and post it to the Rally Officers, with a deposit and/or other details, if requested. If you have to cancel for any reason, please contact the Rally Officers as soon as possible. 3. Travel and Arrival When the time comes for your weekend or holiday rally, follow the directions given. Travel directions include postcode and website addresses (where known). When you are close to the site you will see the South Wales Caravan Club (SWCC) direction signs, coloured red and white, at the side of the road guiding you to the site. On arrival you will find the Rally Officers - they will normally be the first caravan inside the site and will be identified by a sign outside. Once you have booked in you will be handed an envelope containing the Rally Programme and details of the weekend s activities. The Rally Officer will show you to your pitch where you will be requested to park with the front offside corner of your caravan on the marker peg and to park your car on the offside of your caravan. 4. Plaque A Plaque is a plastic memento which is specifically produced for Special weekend/holiday Rally ONLY. 5. The Weekend/Holiday The Rally may include social activities which are usually specified in the details of the Rally in this book, or may otherwise be arranged during the Rally. All such activities are entirely optional but are always good fun! During the weekend/holiday Rally, typically on a Sunday morning during a weekend Rally, Flag will be held. This is a meeting of all Ralliers to hear the results of competitions, to welcome new Ralliers and any visitors, to announce forthcoming events and rallies, draw the raffle and thank the Rally Officers. 6. What Do You Need? To attend a Rally, you will require the usual camping equipment plus a few extras. You must have your own toilet facilities which must never be taken near a fresh water tap.

26 SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY SOUTH WALES CENTRE Introduction 1. Social networking sites, such as, but not exclusively, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc, are a useful way for keeping in touch with friends, family and Centre members, and are also a great way to exchange information. However, Centre members must not forget that what they post on social networking sites may be seen across these networks, and are reminded that they must conduct themselves in a manner which upholds the good name of the Caravan and Motorhome Club and which respects the comfort and convenience of other members. General Policy 2. The South Wales Centre recognises that some members will make use of social networking in their own time, using their own equipment. Whilst there is no intention to restrict an individual s rights and freedoms, it is expected that all members will conduct themselves in such a way as to avoid bringing the Club or Centre into disrepute or compromising their effectiveness. 3. This policy has been prepared to protect the privacy, confidentiality and interests of South Wales Centre members. It applies only to Centre related issues and is not intended to infringe upon an individual s personal interaction or commentary online. However all members are asked to respect the privacy, confidentiality and propriety of the South Wales Centre and those working on their behalf, and not post anything that might be considered to breach this. Members should take care when discussing information relating to Centre affairs as discussions can sometimes be misinterpreted and cause offence. 4. All members should be aware that any inappropriate posts made to social media sites could be deemed a breach of the Caravan and Motorhome Club s Code of Behaviour (Bye-Law 10) that could result in disciplinary action (Rules Governing Centres 8 and/or Bye-Law 11). In extreme cases, it could result in civil and criminal liability. 5. When posting to the internet, including engaging in blogging or the use of forums, video sharing or social networking sites, it is suggested that members do not disclose their position as a Centre member. 6. Members should be aware that the Committee takes the posting of offensive material, and the harassment, bullying or victimisation of members via the internet and social networking sites very seriously. A breach of any of the following may lead to disciplinary action: a. Members must not divulge or forward any confidential information or information belonging to the South Wales Centre, which is not in the public domain or expand upon such information already available in the public domain. b. If any member discloses that they are attached to the South Wales Centre, then it must be made absolutely clear that any views expressed do not represent the official position of the Centre but are the views of the individual. c. Members cannot write a blog in an official capacity unless sanctioned and agreed by the Committee, i.e. representing the views of the Centre. If, however, they give a personal opinion as an experienced person in a particular field, they must state that it is solely their view and not the view of the Centre. Members must not use any Club or Centre logo or other copyright material that infers official endorsement of the photograph, article, document or opinion. d. Any photographs of Centre members must not be used to harass, intimidate or bring the Club or Centre into disrepute. 26

27 e. Members must not display offensive images or make offensive comments, or in any way harass, intimidate, bully, victimise or discriminate against other members. Centre Facebook Policy 7. The Centre s Facebook page is for closed groups and Centre Members only and is not open for anyone to read. Access by anyone else must be approved by the Centre Committee. 8. When content or information is published by a Centre member on the Centre Facebook page, it means that they are allowing everyone with access to that page to use that information. 9. All comments must relate to Club or Centre business. General discussion should be on other social media forums. 10. The Centre will appoint a minimum of two administrators to manage its Facebook page, at least one of whom will be a Committee member with access to Centre membership records. Any derogatory, offensive or inappropriate comments will be removed by the administrators as soon as they are identified. The decision of the administrator on what should be removed will be final. Use of Photographs 11. Photographs and videos taken by members at Centre events should be for personal use only in which case the Data Protection Act does not apply.

28 Centre membership The Caravan & Motorhome Club has 70 Centres throughout the UK and Ireland. They are run by voluntary committee members elected at Centre AGMs. Centre officers organise activities throughout the year and provide a valuable source of support to The Caravan Club's Committees and Councils. To attend and vote at a Centre AGM, Club members must be a member of that Centre. Centre membership is free of charge. If you pay your annual subscription by Continuous Credit Card and the expiry date of your Club Membership has passed you will be unable to re-register to the Centre of your choice on the website. If you pay your annual subscription by Direct Debit you will be able to re-register to the Centre of your choice once you are within 10 days of your Club Membership expiry date. Therefore to re-register to a Centre outside of the above dates, please call the Contact Centre on Monday to Friday between 08:45 and 17:30. If you are registering to a Centre for the first time, this can be processed on the website in the normal way. 28
