Welcome to the Website of the East Midlands Group of the Motor Caravanners’ Club
The Motor Caravanners’ Club is a club run by motor caravanners for motor
caravanners and was founded in 1960. It is managed by a volunteer Council of
Management and administered by 3 staff at Club HQ in Malvern.
Who are we ?
The
East Midlands Group of the Motor Caravanners’ Club was founded in 1962 and
covers the Counties of Rutland, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and
Lincolnshire and is run exclusively by volunteers in accordance with the
Policies and Constitution of the Club.
What do we do ?
We arrange for Members to
visit and stay for a few days at locations/venues that are specifically suited
to our chosen leisure activity. These locations offer the opportunity for motor
caravan owners to explore the local area whilst staying with other like-minded
people on sites with facilities that vary from basic requirements to fully
serviced pitches. For Members wishing to socialise, most of our sites will
include the opportunity to meet other members at social gatherings. These too
can vary, from a simple get-together of chairs outdoors to a hall hired with
professional entertainment. Special occasions like Easter, Christmas, etc are
usually enjoyed and celebrated with all that goes with the occasion. We also
‘theme’ some of our meetings to provide a variety of opportunity to enjoy
occasions such as Halloween, Burns Night, St.George’s Day, etc.
Who can join us ?
Any person owning or using a motor caravan can join the Motor Caravanners’
Club (MCC). As a MCC member you can attend any rally organised by the Club or
any Group. Children with Parents and/or Grandparents are welcome. Members with
mobility difficulties are also afforded as much help as it is possible for us to
provide. Members of the Club from any Group are welcome to join us at our
rallies, as are members of family or friends (provided that they stay in a
member’s motor caravan with a current member). Pets are welcome.
What are Rallies ?
These meetings of our members are called ‘Rallies’ and this term is
very often misunderstood to be a gathering of people following a set organised
routine. This is not so. Members are afforded the opportunity to enjoy the local
area and it’s attractions for a very reasonable pitch fee and are completely
free to choose how they spend their time. Members are welcome to stay for the
duration of the rally or just pop in for one night. Basic needs such as drinking
water, toilet and waste water disposal are provided at all rallies and some
rallies have access to toilets, showers and other facilities. On this website
you can look at what is included at each site, just click on ‘Rallies’. We
welcome all Members to our rallies and endeavour to make the stay enjoyable. We
offer help to members attending for the first time and make local information
available to all.
What are the benefits ?
All Club Members receive the monthly
magazine ‘Motor Caravanner’ plus an annual handbook and an annual rally booklet
which provide a wealth of information on motorcaravanning, including rallies in
the East Midlands, UK nationwide, Europe, Spain, Overseas Travel, Member
Discounts, CL Sites, Night Stops, Motorhome Friendly Parking, Temporary Holiday
Sites, etc.
