Chairman's Introduction
Hello and welcome to the Berkshire Centre of the Caravan & Motorhome Club website. My name is Phil Tidbury and I started my first term as Chairman in October.
A little about myself. I am married to Judy and have four grown up children and three grandchildren. I have been a Centre member for a number of years and served as Rally Secretary for the previous 18 months.
We have a full Rally Programme for 2025; it is currently on the Downloads page. Each rally will be launched for booking on the Rallies & Events page as soon as we can assemble the information.
If you have any questions, thoughts or ideas, please come and find me on the rally field or drop me a note to chair@berkshirecentrecaravanclub.co.uk
Remember it's your club!
Hope to see you soon
