The Caravan Club is sorry to announce that due to recent weather this year’s National Rally is cancelled.

Preparation and set-up for the rally was due to begin this week but since the site is waterlogged, after heavy rainfall, it has been impossible to start building the necessary infrastructure, the Club said.

The situation has been so bad that no vehicles can currently manoeuvre across the site, they added.

The forecast for the National weekend (4th and 5th June) was for more rain which confirmed the Club’s decision to cancel the much-anticipated event, which was due to take place at Eastnor Castle in Ledbury.

The Caravan Club has issued a statement saying: “We have made this decision in the best interests of members and The Club as a whole.”

If you have already booked to attend this event The Club is offering a full refund in fees and entertainment ticket costs.

However, they were keen to reminder caravanners that there are still spots for the Bank Holiday weekend at Certified Location spots and Centre Rallies across the UK.

In other news, the Club has announced that the 2013 National Rally will take place at Belvoir Castle in Grantham.
