The Motor Caravanners' Club
Avon Group
Your rally officer's put in a lot of time and effort to arrange these rallies for your benefit and it does not seem fair to them or you to have to cancel these rally's.
If everyone hosted one rally - they would only have to do it once every 2 or 3 years and help will always be available if you have never hosted before.
Any Avon members wishing to act as or help hosts for any of the proposed rallies, please talk to a committee member, the Rally Officer, or e-mail:
email - Secretary at avon@themotorcaravannersclub.co.uk. , or avonweb18@yahoo.com.
Note: An individual page containing all details for each Rally, can either be viewed by hovering over "Rallies -" in the header above and clicking on the required rally in the drop down menu, or by viewing the Rally Diary listing below and then clicking the "Click Here" link in the "Main Page" column below:
Rally Campsite Information
Update:
2nd November 2023 - Rally Campsites and information.
The group has currently planned 19 rallies for 2023.
2023 TC rallies will each be subject to any Covid 19 restrictions applicable at the time.
Please show consideration to our volunteer hosts by not arriving at rallies earlier than the start time shown. This is particularly important where the venue is at a school. If no times are shown assume a 12 Noon start time and a 2 pm end time for the final day of the rally. Note; Membership cards are required to be shown at all rallies.
The 2024 Avon Group Committee have decided it is no longer necessary for members to pre-book rallies for the remainder, unless otherwise stated (UOS).
Please, just phone the club mobile (07510 320636, only active during period of Rally) to confirm with hosts available space before traveling to avoid any disappointment.
IF booking is required, please contact Christine Gautier (07976306116, or, avon@themotorcaravannersclub.co.uk. ).

Name of rally venue to be booked
Members names
Your Group

We do our best to ensure that the information shown for each rally is accurate and up to date. It may be subject to change as plans for rallies develop or due to factors beyond our control. Keep an eye on detailed rally page to make sure you have the latest details, If you have any specific questions regards a rally or available facilities, please e-mail the committee rally officers for clarification or assistance.
