About The Historic Caravan Club

The Historic Caravan Club was formed on January 16th, 1993 by a group of Historic Caravan Enthusiasts at a meeting in Tetbury in Gloucestershire with the aim of maintaining close contact in order to promote the restoration, preservation, use and display of early historic caravans. Since then the club has grown quickly and become widely accepted as the reference poi

nt for anyone with an interest in the subject. However, we still need to publicise the movement as much as possible as an increased public awareness will help in the location and rescue of rare examples of early caravans which may otherwise be left to rot or be destroyed due to lack of a home. It is not essential that new members are not owners as it is important that people join who are looking for a suitable caravan. This ensures that homes are waiting for those rare caravans which turn up with a time limit before they are destroyed. If you feel you would like to be a part of this please go to our joining page where you will see our main range of activities. The Main Aims Of The Club

To encourage the rescue, restoration, display and use of trailer caravans up to 1960 vintage including the horse drawn ancestors of the touring caravan. To organise and participate in Rallies in order to promote the Movement and increase public awareness. To encourage Members to supply articles to interested magazines. To issue a six weekly News Sheet to communicate sales, wants, rally notices etc., to the membership. To periodically issue a printed magazine promoting Historic Caravanning, the Movement and it's members achievements. To afford Members such benefits and privileges as it may be possible to arrange. To provide and collect Historical and Technical information in order to assist Members with Identification of caravans and in their restoration.

NOTICE TO MEMBERS

Dennis Hough

We have received this sad news from Nicolas Hough.

"Sadly I have to advise of the death of my father Dennis Hough after a short illness.

He passed away on 28/07/2023 having fallen and broken his hip on 01/05.

He often talked of the historic caravan club having worked at Harrington’s Caravans around 63 years ago. I was, in fact, born in Ormskirk as dad had transferred to there from Delamere to fit caravans out.
He continued this interest in later years working for Alexander Transport carrying caravans and mobile homes.

He valued his membership of the Historic Caravan Club even hosting a rally with Pam at Hatchmere. Cheshire.

Dad loved the magazine and the news updates that he often read to me.

I shall miss reading this news.

His funeral is on 18/08/2023 11.00 a.m. Details and contact information can be obtained from The HCC secretary.

I would like to thank Barbara for the kind words offered about my father when I phoned her to let her know that dad had passed.

Whilst never having a caravan myself I loved to read the magazine and take dad in later years to see unusual local vans.

I would like to thank you all at the club for the friendship and sharing of the common shared interest which dad really enjoyed."
