The park have notified us that the swimming pools and leisure facilities will not be open and that there will be no evening entertainment during the weekend of our rally. We know that most people book onto this weekend to enjoy the full facilities usually on offer at Whitemead and we feel that this rally no longer offers good value for the members while these restrictions are in place. Therefore following discussion, the committee have made the decision to cancel the rally. Anyone who is booked on will be contacted and arrangements made for either refunds or transfers of any money that has been paid. Please be patient as some committee are still away on holiday rallies and you will be contacted as soon as is practical. Thank you for your understanding.
The committee have had to make alterations to the following upcoming rallies. Decisions about the rallies for the rest of the year will be made nearer the time. There will be no organised social activities at any of the following weekends. LRCCC Covid Secure Guidelines will apply.

Hi everyone. So after 4 months we have got the green light and we can enjoy being out in our caravans and motorhomes again from 4th July.
Obviously things will be different for a while which is why we have set out some guidelines to make rallying safe and comfortable for everyone.
Please take the time to read through these so that we all know what to expect when we arrive at the rally field.
We have a wide spectrum of members and some may wish to be more cautious than others during these first few weeks, so please be considerate to your fellow members and respect their space.
I'm confident that we can enjoy our weekends away again, even if they may be slightly different to what we have been used to for a while.
So please, read through the guidelines and we look forward to welcoming you on the rally field from 4th July onwards.
The LRCCC Committee are pleased to announce the resumption of 2020 rallies. Our first rally will be Top Barn Farm, Nr Worcester.
It will open at 10am Saturday 4th July and has been extended to Monday 6th July. You can attend 1 or 2 nights.
This rally will be a quiet weekend, there will be no organised social; coffee morning or youth activities.
The rally fee will be £9.50, plus £4 EHU (if available) plus £1 per night per person for non-unit members (over 18 years).
Payment of this rally will be by contactless card payment only. There are spaces available for this rally, please book online or send a slip to Andy Bunn. If you no longer wish to attend this rally please contact Andy Bunn ONLY by phone, email or FB. Or use the cancellation button on the website. Deposits will be transferred(preferred) or refunded.

Julie Derbyshire
I am pleased to announce our rally program for 2021. I think we all need for good news and something to look forward to. We were so disappointed to have to cancel the Music Festival, so we have planned it again for 2021. We need your help to marshal the rallies. So if you would like to volunteer please speak to myself or Lee Sheldon. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Julie Derbyshire
Following the latest government guidance, the LRCCC Committee have cancelled all rallies upto the end of June
22nd -25th May Eastnor Castle
23rd May-6th June Pentewan
23rd-30th May Hendra
5th-7th June Riddings
6th-20th June Higher Well
12th-14th June Weston Park
19th-21st June Music Festival.
26th-28th June Hatton
All deposits will be transferred to future rallies if applicable, or a refund will be arranged.
If you could like or comment below it will help us know who has received the message.
We really hoped this wouldn't have to happen but it is so important we follow the rules and stay safe.
The LRCCC Committee have decided to cancel all rallies up to and including Statfold Barn Railway. We feel as the current situation is not getting any better, we should cancel the following rallies
17th-19th April Norgren Social club, Shipston No deposits paid
24th-26th April, Buzzards Valley
No deposits paid
1st-3rd May, Rock Weekend, Shrewsbury
1st-10th May, Carrog
No deposits paid
7th-10th May, Statfold Barn Railway
All deposits paid will be transferred to rallies later in the year, where this is possible. It would help us if you are booked on any of these rallies if you could comment below so we know you have received the message. People who don't comment will be contacted during the week. A refund by Paypal or cheque will be issued if a transfer is not required. Refunds by cheque could take several weeks.
We will advise you as soon as we know if the Whitsun holidays at Pentewan & Hendra are going ahead. The balances for these holidays are due shortly, but we are asking you to not send the balance at the moment. We will ask for it closer to the time once we have some definite news.
Please transfer your deposits where possible as this is easier and less costly to the club. Refunds by cheque are difficult as we need 2 signatories on the cheques and Dave won't see anyone to get them signed in the foreseeable future.
This whole situation is very difficult for us all, but if all work together we will get through it as soon as possible.
Please keep safe everyone.
Following yesterday's Government announcement and advice from BLCCA, the LRCCC committee have made the hard decision to cancel the next four rallies,
20th-22nd March-Green Man
27th-29th March-Ripple
3rd-5th April-Skittles at Cookhill
10th-13th April- Easter at Winchcombe School
We feel it is in the best interests of all our members to keep everyone safe and healthy. All deposits paid will be transferred to rallies later in the year, where this is possible. It would help us if you are booked on any of these rallies if you could let Julie Derbyshire know so we know you have received the message. People who don't let us know will be contacted during the week. A refund by Paypal or cheque will be issued if a transfer is not required. Refunds by cheque could take several weeks.
Julie Derbyshire
LRCCC Chairperson
Arrivals at the Green Man, Long Itchington from midday (12:00) onwards providing field is okay, will visit again next Wednesday to make sure all is okay for arrivals.
Arrivals from 2:00pm please.
A local play group have use of the village hall until lunchtime on Friday, so we have to give them time to clear the car park.
Unfortunately we have had to cancel some of the spaces on the Valentine's rally this coming weekend. The field that we use is very mud and unsuitable for caravans. I have spoken to everyone that has had their bookings cancelled, so if you are booked on the rally and haven't had a phone call then you still have a space. Also due to limited amount of space can I ask people not to bring additional cars if possible.
Can I urge anyone still booked on to let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend as we have alot of disappointed members who would like to be on the rally. If you can't make it please let Andy Bunn know asap.
For those of you booked on to this rally, to help us with the catering, can we ask you to confirm in advance what food from the menu you require. Please choose a starter, main and dessert per person. Can you please message back by the 2nd February to confirm your food orders.

It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the passing of John Harper. John & Julie have been good supporters of LRCCC for many years and were always popular marshals at Pentewan. John was a great support to Julie during her many years on the Committee and as Chair of LRCCC. His funeral will take place on Monday 16th December at 1.30pm at Robin Hood Crematorium, and afterwards at The Ivy Leaf Social Club, B26 3JR. The family have asked for some space for the next few days, but would very much like to see as many people as possible at the funeral. All our love goes to Julie and the family.

Hello to everyone, I hope you have all recovered from the wet & soggy Easter Bank Holiday and are now looking forward to what we hope will be a glorious summer. Which brings me to reason for this posting.
The Association Fun Rally at Victoria Farm Claybrook Magna will soon be upon us, so if you are thinking of joining us for what we hope will be a lovely weekend please submit your rally slips A.S.A.P. We had more than 50 caravans last year so it would be wonderful if we could beat that amount this year.
This is a charity rally so we are hoping for as much support as possible. We also depend on your generosity, so if you would like to donate to our bottle stall or our raffle it would be most appreciated. In your rally book the cost of the rally is £25.00 for the weekend and it means just that, although it states that this is a 3 day rally anyone who arrives on Thursday will be charged £8.00 for the extra night.
There is one change to what is printed in the rally book, unfortunately the Tin Shack Catering Company have had to cancel this year, but hopefully we will have a replacement, I will let you know further on this as soon as I have it confirmed. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
