Centre History

The South Wales Centre was the first of its kind in Wales.

 

It was formed in 1946 under the auspices of The Caravan Club. The Centre covers the middle area of south and mid Wales from Porthcawl in the south to Newtown in mid Wales. It encompasses the local authority areas of Neath and Port Talbot, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Bridgend and parts of Powys and of the Vale of Glamorgan.

 

We are the only Centre that borders each of the five other Welsh Centres and also some English Centres, which makes us an ideal choice wherever your base.

 

We currently have some 1000+ families in membership, making us the largest of the six Welsh Centres of The Caravan Club.

So what is rallying all about?

Our rallies are events where our members can get together at weekends and enjoy their mutual interests, such as caravanning, socialising with each other and members of other Centres, sporting and other competitions etc.

Our rallies enable our members to use their caravans all year round in lovely surroundings at reasonable prices. Our members have the opportunity to make lifelong friendships within our own Centre as well as all the other Centres throughout the UK and beyond. Here you can see some of the venues which feature in our Rally programme Websites for Venues in our Rally Programme
