I've spotted the role of Club Chaplain amongst the list of Officers and Committee Members. 

Why does a caravanning club need a chaplain? How much does it cost to have a chaplain? Is it just another jobs for the boys/girls scenario?

Well spotted Jay Laughing perhaps a prayer or two helps keep the steam driven forum going that bit better.

I'd love to know what role he plays in the Club.

interesting question, hope the club comes on here and answers.  We have a school chaplain but it is a non paid position and caters for all religious needs from whatever regilion. Faith schools have a paid position. I really can't see a need in the club though?

Perhaps we should all be church going members of the CC? Another daft idea if tou ask me!  Why would I need a Chaplain?

Well I've reported my post in the hope that someone can explain. 

Call me odd if you like but I prefer my leisure organisations secular

What role does this lady play? I seriously question the need for a chaplain in CC. 

It's ironic when one dares not mention religion on the forum.

I'm ambivalent but find it strange that the club retain a chaplain but any mention of religion on CT will invoke the T&C's.  Wonder if the Chaplain is aware of this moroturium?
