please note
the londonderry rally for mccni has been cancelled.
the above company have taken over all parking at the rugby club and the same fees and conditions apply as above.
although not an mccni rally members are welcome to avail of the services provided at both venues but as a private concern not a rally.

enjoy....................................

Interesting rules for the campsite.

NO GLASS
NO ANIMALS
NO GENERATORS
NO GAS CANISTERS

It will be interesting to see how they manage that when motorhomes arrive.

I assume there is a campsite which is separate from the Motorhome area and those rules refer to it. If not there could be a few unhappy people. LOL

the reason mccni cancelled the rally was everyone to use same area, tents/caravans/motorhomes
and no input as to where to park etc

The 'NO GAS CANISTERS' is referring to the small portable type & not the gas cylinders we use. :-)

I did assume that but I wonder what they will do about the glass rule?

As Bob has stated it seems to be a shared area.

I knew that as well, just making a point of how their rules could if interpreted the wrong way by an overbearing jobs worth then no motorhome would be allowed into the area.

Derry/Londonderry for the Fleadh Cheoil

The ICCC club site for the Fleadh is at Foyle College, Duncreggan Road Derry/Londonderry.

Rally Fees - £60 For 4 nights thursday-Monday.

The site is within walking distance of the city centre and adjacent to Magee College (where many of the competitions are taking place). The site will open on Thursday 15th August at 4pm.

Directions to Foyle College are on the ICCC website and we are encouraging people to approach the site from the direction of the Foyle Bridge (to avoid being diverted).

Derry Council is aware of our campsite and marshals should not attempt to redirect you to the official campsites.
Only members will be allowed to use the campsite.

Space is limited and anyone expecting to attend the Fleadh is asked to let us know by email.

The site is hard standing and the school has asked us not to erect tents. Awnings (and tents) will only be allowed in special circumstances (and with prior consent).

We have use of the school hall and toilet block. The toilets will be open in the morning and evening.

As the Fleadh will be in Sligo next year, this promises to be a once in a lifetime experience.

For more info and details on how to join the club visit our club website and book your place for this wonderful event. :up: :up:
