From the mid fifties to 1965 Caravan Rallies were organised by the Eastern Counties Centre, comprising of the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and Peterborough.
During 1967 many Suffolk members decided that Suffolk should become a Centre in its own right. A request was made to the Caravan Club Headquarters and a meeting was called at Haughley Village Hall, chaired by the then Vice Chairman of the Caravan Club – Eric Barrett. After much discussion a vote was taken and 95% of Suffolk members opted for their own Centre.
