Why do we have a Club Chaplain?

It may well be a throwback to the old days but the C&CC doesn't bother and the CC replaced theirs/ours fairly recently. 

Bit archaic really. Time to modernise CC 

I'm sure she is nice but can't see a need for her really, and although I'm not that way inclined, if I was I'd go straight to the top.

I have just realised when a Chaplain may be needed! Shortly after the lady was nearly ran down on the fantastically serious program of last Wednesday eve

You could be right Vivien but if we need a chaplain we ought to get all bases covered and I look forward to hearing about the Club Rabbi, Imam and Warlock in due course. 

Or we could remember it's 2016 and this is a caravanning organisation perhaps?

either works for me 

I'm bumping this because I'm not asking a frivolous question or trying to cause trouble. 

I genuinely want to know why a club devoted to caravanning and motorhoming and all the associated services has a chaplain?

i could email but I have no expectation of a reply and I think a few others would like to know as well  

I agree Jay. This isn't about a particular Religion or individual but about why cater for one section's beliefs but ignore all other faiths. Easiest way is to leave it to the individuals by having none or cover all. Inclusivity is the watchword. You can't be fairer than the secular approach.

I agree that I can't see the point, or the need, and await the club's responce, but to be fair although chaplain has Christian roots, a chaplain in an organisation/non faith school is to cater for all beliefs and religions.

Oh I can accept that a chaplain caters for all beliefs and religions (except my beliefs), I just want to know why we have one. 

My calendar says 2016 and the things I'm reading in CT at the moment don't really tie in with a club that's interested in our spiritual or indeed other welfare. 

As this good lady is also a member of the Club Council, I hope she has some caravanning experience and isn't there simply because of her role as chaplain which, as far as I'm concerned, has no relevance whatsoever to our leisure activity.

So, if a member on a club site needs the services of this chaplin , how is she "deployed" from HO?????
