About Us 

The purpose of this page is to show how the Central Region Council works.

Caravan Club Members (and potential members) living in the Central Region area, can raise any caravanning topic concerning the Club which affects them, to be settled at a local level.

The Central Region Council represents ALL Caravan Club members resident in the designated Counties of the region; Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Rutland, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and the West Midlands.

Objectives 

In accordance with the Constitution, the aims of the Central Region Council are:

	To represent general matters of Club or Centre interest to the Club Council.
	To provide a means whereby the Caravan Club interests of those members living in the area may be fostered.
	To provide a forum to discuss and solve local problems at Regional level.

Clearly the Central Region Council has a very broad brief which covers a wide range of topics. The Regional Council is made up of extremely knowledgeable members. Usually matters or questions raised can be resolved at a regional level. It is sometimes necessary to seek advice from the Executive Committee or the staff at East Grinstead. This means that every member of the Club can use a Regional Council to access all levels of the Club management structure.

At a meeting of the Club Council (January 1995) a proposal to restructure the Council was put forward. It was decided that the Country would be divided into 10 Regions, each with a Regional Council. These Regional Councils would elect delegates to sit on a restructured Club Council. This Regional structure began on 1 January 1996.

What Have We Achieved 

Since it began, the Council has met regularly to discuss and where necessary, resolve matters of interest to regional members. These meetings are held in the week prior to each Club Council meeting. This enables items to be raised by the 3 Regional Delegates at the Club Council meeting. Other Regional Council meetings are held as required.

Each year an AGM is held on the last Saturday in November to elect the Officers, approve the accounts and to receive reports on the Council�s activities. The AGM is open to all members of the Club (as described previously). The call notice usually appears in the July issue of the magazine. All members are welcome and caravan parking is arranged near the meeting room. The venue changes each year and rotates around the Region.

Other events that have been held include an Open Forum and Members Question Time. All Regional Council events are advertised in the Club Magazine.

How Can the Central Regional Council Help You as a Member

As a member of the Caravan Club you are part of a very large and successful organisation. The Club can help you to get more use and enjoyment out of your caravan. If you as a member, have a point to make, a query, a suggestion, a comment or a criticism, the first point of contact could well be the Central Region Council. All you have to do is write to the Secretary whose address appears in the members handbook or email the address on the front of this leaflet.

There are, of course, activities which do not involve the Central Region. For example ferry bookings, insurance quotes, Red Pennant etc. These are all dealt with by the Club Offices at East Grinstead.

Maybe you have a comment on a Certified Location (C.L.), or a Club site, the Club collection, the Magazine etc. If you have something to say please contact the Regional Council.

All members within the Region can attend any event organised by the Regional Council.

What is a Centre 

There are ten Centres within the Central Region. Run by volunteers these provide a variety of activities and social events. Joining a Centre is easy. Fill in the slip on your membership card letter or ( 01342 326944.
