What is the club about?
It was founded in 1993 aiming to promote caravanning as a safe and rewarding recreational activity and to foster lasting friendships through participation in social activities.
What do members do?
Members enjoy the company of other likeminded people when touring with their caravans or simply enjoying a few days in one location. They hold monthly meetings, organise and attend a variety of caravan outings and social events including picnics, and club lunches.
How big is the club?
Membership is limited to 65 RV units. An RV Unit may consist of a caravan, campervan, camper trailer or motorhome. Based on 2 persons per unit, our membership number about 130 members.
Who can apply to join the club?
Any permanent residents of Australia who mainly live on the NSW Central Coast, who own a registered RV, and have enough time to attend at least 1 organised tour per year plus 2 monthly meetings.
What do I have to do to join?
Attend a General Meeting and give a completed membership form to our secretary. Your form providing details and contact information will be held in abeyance until you have completed the membership requirements. Prospective members will be invited to attend just 2 general meetings and 1 club organised tour within 6 months, before paying any fees to gain membership. This gives you the opportunity of trying out the club for FREE without having to pay any annual fees up front until you have completed the above meetings and outings. You will then be invited to join the club.
How much will membership cost?
$20 joining fee plus an annual fee set each year. For this you will receive 2 van stickers, 2 name badges and a Club flag. Annual Membership Fees are paid by all members. They are currently $20 per person.
What about meetings?
General Meetings are held at the Terrigal 50+ Leisure and Learning Centre, Corner Duffys Road and Terrigal Drive, Terrigal, on the 3rd Sunday of each month except December. As the hall doors open at 11 am, most members usually bring their own food and drinks. The meetings start at 12.30 pm and are followed by afternoon tea and a chat.
What about tours?
At each meeting various members put details of proposed tours on the notice board. You can add your name to the list if you wish to attend, but should also let the leader of that particular trip know if you wish to cancel your booking. Tours vary greatly in the number of participants, the locations, whether touring or staying at one park, and the duration from a weekend to several months, but more commonly about one to two weeks.
