To achieve this, advertisers must be found to cover the printing costs which continue to increase. This is proving very difficult this year with only two confirmed companies.

19th July- Thetford fridges are designed in the US where one suspects the majority of users have either a generator or mains hook up and the use of LPG is almost emergency "back up." This would suit many users in the US, but then we have our keen ralliers who use LPG for extended periods. This is causing premature burner failures. Thetford have released a replacement stainless steel burner but it would appear to be failing. (some users have had damaged caused to the exterior paint work of the van). The caravan club is anxious to hear from any members who have had Thetford fridge failures and would ask them to email details to Dave Lee who is on the technical sub committee at rockh@talktalk.net so they can take appropriate action.
18th July- The woodchurch rally will start at 12 noon on Friday and closes 6pm on Sunday. The assistant marshals will be Peter and Sue Smith. (uploaded by the apprentice and I have listened)

8th July - Centre Fire Extinguishers - The East Kent Centre is not required to supply fire extinguishers on rallies. The East Kent Centre committee strongly advise members to supply their own fire precautions such as extinguishers, fire bucket filled with sand / water or fire blankets. In the short term the committee will endeavour to place an extinguisher near the flagpole at the majority of rallies. The Caravan Club nor the East Kent Centre will accept responsibility or liability for safe operation, accidents, incidents or effectiveness of any extinguisher used.
8th July - The Christmas dance will be held at Swadelands school in Lenham, more details to follow shortly.
28th June - The social officer has been requested to submit an estimate of numbers a few weeks before the dinner and dance. However both the marshal and the social officer have holidays around this time and would really appreciate if you could you get your booking forms returned before 19th August. Cheques will not be paid in until two weeks before the rally (Unless requested otherwise). You are reminded that the rally is open to all members and entrance into the hop farm and The Southern Model Air Show is only £7 each for the weekend.
