When you purchase an Airstream trailer you don't just get the usual paperwork. Also included
is information on the Wally Byam Caravan Club. Byam was the creator of the popular silver
trailer. His club has members across North America who gather for rallies and tour the
countryside for the fun and opportunity of seeing different places. A group of them made Blyth
a stop this past weekend. From left: first lady, Kathy Graham, president, Royce Graham, hosts

Sixty-five units of the Wally Byam
Caravan Club International
(WBCCI) spent this past weekend in
Blyth.
The club name honours Byan who
designed the Airstream in 1934.
participate. These include national
rallies and caravans, special .events
rallies, regional rallies and overseas
caravans.
Clubs in Canada, Mexico and the
United States belong to one of 12
regions which are subdivided into
units. This weekend's rendezvous
was for members of the Ontario Unit
which is part of Region 2 and the
Metro Detroit region which belongs
to Region 4.
Advertised as a Hands Across the
Border rendezvous, it provided an
opportunity for WBCCI members to
meet and make new friends while
enjoying the many attractions of
Huron County.
The Airstream trailer has
sometimes been described as a giant
silver egg on wheels. Indeed its
outward appearance has changed
little in the past 72 years and it is
often difficult to guess a trailer's age
from the outside.
Club members can identify each
other by the red numbers placed on
the trailer which are listed in the club .
directory. These numbers, however,
are assigned randomly so that a high
number does not necessarily mean a
new trailer nor a low one an older
model.
When Byam established the club
he stated as one of its purposes, "To
place the great wide world at your
doorstep for yOu who year5 to travel
with all the comforts of home."
