The Coromal Caravan Club Inc. was conceived in March 2005, when the then President of the NSW State Association approached Coromal executive staff to see if Coromal were interested in taking the initial steps to help set up a club in NSW.

By mid March Coromal dealers were sent an initial email to seek expressions of interest from their clients & business. With initial feed back an inaugural meeting was called (& conducted to coincide with the last weekend of the Rosehill Caravan & Camping Show) at Del Rio Caravan Park, Wiseman’s Ferry on the 9th & 10th of April, 2005.

Six couples attended, all of whom went on to become our founding members. An initial committee was established at this time with the positions of President, Treasurer and Rally Marshall put forward and accepted at this meeting. The club’s colours were also selected - they were to be light grey with maroon and white trim, as in the corporate colours of Coromal Caravans Pty Ltd. The club’s initial slogan of “Experience the Club’s lifestyle, Discover the freedom” was also adopted. All in attendance were advised that Coromal Caravans Pty Ltd offered a one-off initial funding to help establish the club. This was agreed upon to be “goods in kind” - club shirts & caps to the value of the funds offered. These in turn would be sold to members to fund the club through its initial stages.

The club’s first organised rally was conducted on the 28th & 29th of May at the Valley Vineyard Tourist Park at Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley.  In the short time between the Inaugural Meeting and the conduct of our first rally, our attendees had increased from 6 couples to 8 couples with 8 siblings and one grandmother along also. The Coromal Caravan Club Inc., a NSW based club, had been founded and was now ready to conduct monthly rallies as per our first calendar and attract more members.

Currently we conduct monthly rallies within the fringes of our membership, which encompasses from Ulladulla on the south coast out to Canberra, over to Young, up to Dubbo, across to Gulgong and back to Corlette-Nelsons Bay on the north coast. Due to the diversity, the club focuses our rallies evenly to the west, south & north. Two rallies per annum are Bush Camps, however as these have had acceptance beyond expectations we intend to conduct more of this type of rally on the alternate fortnights catering to members desires.  So, if you’re an off the beaten track type, we cater for you as well.

Our first Annual General Meeting was conducted on the 11th November 2006, Remembrance Day and as it turns out, it will be a day to remember. The members present elected a new committee and since that day the newly elected committee expanded our club’s horizons, adopting a new logo: “Experience the Club’s lifestyle, Discover the freedom & friendship”, which you’d agree is a much more apt logo for our members. Then came the establishment of “Coromal Capers” a bi-monthly newsletter to keep all informed and then, the hastening to create the club’s Holy Grail, our wonderful Website, and getting it hosted.

In the meantime, behind the scenes, an enormous research effort was on to contact all potential members as a great number of previous contacts had been mislaid, hence contacting and updating everyone has been a work in progress.
