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; all rallies are avaliable for booking on the Rallies & Events page.
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

Natter and Chatter
The Natter and Chatter event took place on Saturday 11th January at Padworth Village Hall. Rally Officers for 2025 were introduced to the new electronic method of receiving information about their rallies and there was also an opportunity for ralliers to discuss anything informally with the Committee. Unfortunately, the event wasn’t particularly well attended – maybe the icy weather was a deterrent? Feedback about the event would be welcomed – please Contact Us.
