The Regimental
Association has a caravan at Devon Cliffs Holiday Park near Exmouth in
Devon. The caravan was purchased new in May 2005 and is available
for hire by serving personnel of the AGC who contribute to the AGC
Regimental Association through the Day's Pay Scheme.
The caravan is
comfortably furnished and heated and sleeps eight persons in three
double bedrooms and two sofa beds. Accommodation includes a fully
equipped kitchen with gas cooking, fridge, microwave, hot and cold
running water, bathroom with WC and shower and a separate WC. The
sitting room has a southerly aspect with seating for a large family or
group. Pillows and blankets are provided, but sheets, pillowcases and
towels are not. A duvet for the bed is recommended during the early and
later parts of the season. The caravan has it's own designated
parking space within a few yards.
The rules for the
use of the caravan are:
Eligible
Personnel
Priority will be
given to Junior Ranks i.e. Corporals and below.
Senior Ranks and
Officers can apply and if 3 months before the proposed date of letting
no Junior Rank has applied, the booking will be confirmed.
Non AGC personnel,
including civilians and ex-service personnel will be permitted if no
other booking has been taken. These personnel will be charged an
additional rate equivalent to that payable by Sergeants and above for
the rental cost for the next increment higher.
Bookings
No booking will be
taken for the next year until September of the current year, this is to
give personnel on operational tours the opportunity to book.
A deposit of
£50.00 per week must accompany all applications for a booking, this will
be refunded in the event of a Junior Soldier having priority at any time
up to 3 months before the date of letting. All bookings will be
confirmed 3 months before the proposed date of letting.
Any cancelled booking, which cannot be re-let, will forfeit
the deposit. No booking will be accepted without a deposit.
Rates
The Rate of hire
varies throughout the year with the more popular weeks, i.e. August
being the most expensive. An additional premium is also added for
periods that include a Bank Holiday.
A
guide to the weekly rates of hire for 2006 are:
