This is the East Kent Centre’s Web-Site

The EKC Centre was formed on 9th October 1965 so this Year will be our  54th Year.

The EKC is one of 68 Centre’s that are listed in the Caravan Club Directory & Handbook.

If you are a member of the Caravan Club you may join us on any Centre event and will be most welcome.

If you want to get more from your caravan, enter this site and have a look at the varied

Rally programme of all our rallies. We are sure you will find something to interest you.

If you haven't tried a weekend without the luxury of electric hook up -

then there is nothing to worry about - a leisure battery

and gas will keep you comfortable for a weekend and much longer!  

The buttons above will answer many of your questions.

East Kent Members - Unfortunately, re-registration has to be carried out every year and does often get missed.

Please ensure you check your centre registration details online at the caravan clubs website www.caravanclub.co.uk/local-groups or by contacting East Grinstead. This is especially important close to the AGM if you wish to speak, vote, stand for committee or propose or second a notice of motion.

The committee are always keen to welcome new members

if you are interested please speak to myself or

any member of the committee.

We are looking for someone who would be willing to take on

the role of Treasure and also Rally Sec. No Treasure means

no centre as we cannot run as a centre without a Treasure.

The rally sec role is quite a big role but we could split it

between two or more people.

Please come and talk to us if you feel able to help in any way

Statement 17th March 2020:  The National 2020

Dear Members

Following recent Government advice regarding the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak, we’re really sorry to confirm the National at Belvoir Castle, will not be going ahead this year. This decision has been taken following the Government’s announcement to implement increased social distancing, avoid large crowds  gathering and to ensure we don’t put further strain on the emergency services. We know the National is held dear by Club members, volunteers and staff alike, but the safety and wellbeing of our members, volunteers and staff is of paramount  importance, so I’m sure you will support this announcement. We would ask that you don’t call us while we are working through the process of managing the cancellation of the event, we will begin issuing full refunds  as soon as possible.  Please bear with us, this may take up to 28 days to complete. This decision has not been taken lightly, we appreciate your support and understanding during these difficult times.  

 With best wishes

Nick Lomas

Director General
