    In order to clarify, Rowena posted the following on Club Together a few weeks ago,

    "Hi everyone, Just to let you know I have been speaking with colleagues to try and arrange a Club Together area at the National. A place for CT'ers to meet up. This will probably be by the internet area but details are to be confirmed. Rochelle will update you nearer the time. Smile"

    We are awaiting an update on what form the Club Together area will consist of, and this may not be in the form of a stand in Club Marquee. However, once it is clear what area, if any, is available we will let you know.

    However, the Club Together Meet will be taking place betweem 10.45am and 11.45am in the Hospitality Marquee on Monday 30th May.

    Could be worth going along just to see if any blood is spilled going by some posts on CT.  LOL!

    No doubt the main topic of conversation will be " how can I stay here for an extra four hours on our departure day  without paying" .

    Just joking folks !!!!!

    Hi Firedragon,

    As you can imagine it was really difficult to get a slot in one of the marquees to hold this event without clashing with something else over the weekend. The National has so much on offer, to entertain the members during their stay, it was very difficult.
    I hope that some Club Together members are able to call in for a cup of tea/coffee and a chat, even if it is only for a few minutes.

    Hi Nick, hope it goes well, last year a few of us managed to meet up outside the Club Stand & Information Tent. Sadly this year we have had to withdraw due to health issues so will be unable to attend.

    Will all CT members be watching the caravan reversing competition at the National. - even though they said such things had no part in real caravan life and  caused them such great humiliation when the BBC made a certain film?

    as I remember it, Merve had to get a certain amount to be able to put in an order, he did not keep a stock of them.

    The caravan club used to sell fleeces, body warmers etc with the Club Motif embroidered on then. Give head office a ring, they might have some left in stock.

    Write your comments here...I arranged some clothing two or three years ago K. If I got enough orders (50) I would consider running another batch. I'm sure Alison wears hers still and I have 3 "club together" items that I still don whilst on site etc.

    Write your comments here...see above Micky. All types of tops and hats are available ie, sweatshirts, gilets, fleeces, T shirts, etc etc but I need 50 orders to put it through to get the right price on the clothing. I think the last issue was of good quality and price. Value for money. P&P I can't help!

    I certainly do still wear mine Merve Laughing The gilet especially is a very useful garment and the quality is excellent. We couldn't make
    it this year either - maybe see you at Sandringham next year ?

    Write your comments here...That's would be super Alison. Sandingham eh? Can't wait!! Glad you liked the garment and find the quality good. I wonder if I could start a sticky to allow all the newbies to get their hands on these garments?

    Write your comments here...yes they did, but these garments are specific to CT. At the time, we had a bit of a spat with the club when we asked to use the club logo with 'Club Together' underneath. It would have promoted the club and done nothing but good
    but the powers that be couldn't see it and refused permission to their own members to wear the caravan club logo....... So we had to run a competition for the best 'Club Together' logo. The only people that will recognise it are fellow CT members. I had 3
    garments made with my original caravan club logo and 'Club Together' underneath idea. I still wear them and have been asked by several people about it! When I wear my other with just the CT logo on it ......nothing!

    In view of the discussion going on elsewhere about CT and non-members perhaps in hindsight the Club were actually right Merve as non-members could just as easily order garments too (and why not ! Wink)
    anyway we ended up with a perfectly good design instead. A sticky would be good to test the water and see if you can get enough for another order but of course you will have to ask Johnathon this time as Ro is on leave. If you don't get enough have you ever
    considered a pin brooch instead ( or as well of course)?
