Gary Martin says: You don’t need me to tell you that we are living in unprecedented times. But it doesn’t and shouldn’t stop you thinking about future plans and future touring adventures. That’s where we think we can help here on the magazine. This issue is packed full of inspirational content – not only giving you some ideas for holidays yet to come (add the coast-to-coast tour undertaken by Lee Davey and family on pages
you using your van “asArea classroom or games room? Maybe a café? 22-31 of this issue to your wish list), but also highlighting what you can still do now, if your caravan or motorhome is parked on the driveway (why not join in the fun of our Big Little TeaTime Festival – see page 67 for details).

I think that is the great thing about belonging to a Club – that community spirit rises to the fore and you see not only the Club still helping its members, but the members helping each other and the Club. That is what makes you and this organisation so special. To that end, we would love to hear and see what you are doing instead of travelling – are you using your caravan or motorhome as a classroom or games room? Maybe a café or extra bedroom? Let us know and we will ublish your at home adventures in a future issue. Stay safe!
