Gem Friends

What lovely weather we are having at the moment; great to be out and about with out worrying about the rain.

We spent our weekend with some good friends from the Gem Club in Cheltenham. Jill and John have a lovely home and are very luck to have enough room at the side of their house to accommodate quite a few motorhomes - so what a weekend we had.

Nigel and I set up the Gem Club about 14 years ago, when Italian motorhomes first started to be imported in to the country by Don Amott.

Gem Stands for Granduca, Elnagh and Mobilvetta which were the first three brands to be imported so owners of those ‘vans were the first to join the club; and that’s how the name of the club was formed.

Nigel published a fantastic newsletter over the years on Italian vans, general news and ideas sent in by club members. But, unfortunately, demands made of him combined with a full time involvement in World of Motorhomes/Caravans, resulted in the closure of the club in December last year. We have now formed Gem Friends comprising a group of our old rally friends who still wanted to keep in contact.

Motorhome and Caravan clubs are a great way of making new friends, meeting up with old friends, and finding out how to solve some of the problems we may encounter.You will always find a club member with some very useful advice. Please use our link on the home page through to the owner’s club page.

If anybody notices that their Club is missing from our website, or your entries are not up to date, please email us on sales@ukwom.com and we will update the information free of charge.

Happy club meetings,

Anne.
