Information re running a rally

Information re running a rally

Firstly, let us thank you for offering or being cajoled into running a rally. Please don’t stress it. Although it can be a busy, responsible weekend it does feel very rewarding to have helped out in this way after all is done. So down to business. 

  • The Hosts and Co Hosts are usually people who know each other. If not then have conversations is what both couples would like to do. Rallies can be quiet affairs or filled with lots of activities. Entirely up to you, but try to agree, on a level that suits both couples. 
  • Hosts can find a template in the host box of what a Welcome Sheet should include. You can print your own welcome sheets or contact the club Secretary to print off for you.
  • The committee has agreed that £50 can be available for each rally. The constitution states that No raffle prizes are paid out of this.  For special rallies that food is supplied e.g., Burns night, Mistletoe and Wine night etc. with committee approval the amount will be increased to meet the cost. An expenses sheet is in the host box and this should be filled in, given to the Treasurer/Secretary along with receipts before any money is refunded for your expenses.
  • On arrival vans are asked to produce their membership card. Hopefully members will have details of Name, Telephone number, and their motorhome number plate on a piece of paper within a clear pouch with rally fees enclosed.  This helps avoid wrong information being recorded on the initial booking in sheet. This information is important in the event of a fire when we need to ensure the whereabouts of our members.
  • The treasurer or secretary along with the host will count the raffle money. A raffle money record sheet, found in the host box, should be signed by both. The band and caretaker fee will be taken out of this money and also recorded on the sheet.
  • The treasurer will give the hosts two “one night prize vouchers” for their raffle up to 29 vans. Additional to this one voucher for every ten vans thereafter will be given. Vouchers for the number plate draw at coffee morning will be one voucher per 25 vans plus one voucher in place of quiz. 
  • During the rally there should be one couple who remains on site at all times. After coffee morning, whilst everyone helps with clearing away, it is the host’s responsibility to ensure the premises are left clean and tidy after a rally. Also, after everyone has vacated the grounds to wait to give over keys etc. to the caretaker.
  • Please enjoy your hosting experience and don’t forget we are all here to advise and help as required.

A list of committee numbers is in your host box. Regards from Chairman and Committee.

Disciplinary Policy and Procedure

Disciplinary Policy and Procedure

Disciplinary Policy and Procedure Appendix J of the MCC UK Constitution   When a complaint is made to the MCC group chairperson, of misconduct or inappropriate behaviour by any group member, the MCC UK 

Disciplinary Procedures require the chairperson to investigate the complaint and set up a disciplinary subcommittee from existing group committee members. The member(s) complained about and, if appropriate, any witnesses, can be asked to attend a meeting with the discipline subcommittee in order that all information is available to them. 

Where the misconduct is considered to be of a minor nature the disciplinary committee has the discretion to deal with it locally by verbal or written warning if considered appropriate or to dismiss the matter entirely. If, however, the behaviour or misconduct is considered to be of a more serious nature the subcommittee cannot deal with it and is obliged to gather all information available in a file and forward it to Head Office for the matter to be dealt with there. 

If the member(s) complained   about decline to attend the meeting with the disciplinary subcommittee then the meeting proceeds without them and sends all available information to the MCC UK head office. The disciplinary subcommittee is NOT the complainant merely a gather of information and facts in order to assist with any decision made locally or at Head Office. 

The MCC UK Disciplinary Procedures are detailed in Appendix J of The MCC UK Constitution available to members on the MCC UK website at www.themottorcaravannersclub.co.uk

Fire Safety

Fire Safety

No other Fire Extinguisher is as practical, safe, versatile, effective and easy to use as the Fire Safety Stick. Compact and safe to store, this 100 second version (takes 100 seconds to fully discharge) is ideal for Motorhomes, smaller boats, cars, kitchens, garages, workbenches, small caravans & camper vans. It weighs far less than a conventional fire extinguisher and can operate for much longer. And best of all, there is NO residue left behind after use.

Welcome to the website of our remarkably successful Motor Caravan Club. Our membership is mainly drawn from Northern Ireland but we welcome members from all parts of Ireland.
The combined Northern Ireland Group 24 and Ireland Group 42 was formed in 1999 under the umbrella of the ‘The Motorcaravanners’s Club Ltd’ which has a total of 24 Groups covering the whole of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Membership of any Group entitles its Members to attend organised weekend rallies and longer holiday rallies in any of the above geographical areas.We hold about 25 rallies each year each attracting an average of 50 motorhomes. Where possible they are planned in conjunction with a social, cultural or sporting event and we also try to use venues that are within walking distance from a town centre. You can get a better understanding of what we are about by visiting the Rally Programme, Past Rallies and Gallery pages on this website.
Our rally fees are typically £20 for a 2-night rally and this enables you to park in a safe environment with like minded people and the opportunity to make new friends.
If you would like to join our very friendly club all you have to do is join on line at The Motorcaravanners' Club and come along to one of our rallies or Temporary Campsites with your membership card.  The annual membership fee is currently £39.00 and covers 2 adults and their dependant children under the age of 18.
