Just wondering if Motorhome Craic members can attend rally or is it confined to ICCC only?

Thanks pogonogo!
We'd love to attend. Never been to a Craic meet. Do we register in advance?

Ben

Can one go if they are not a member and who does one let know?

Unfortunately its the same for us in the Iccc, you have to be a member to attend but can join on arrival. Its a great weekend and we still have space available in the rugby club.

Now that's an interesting take on it. We would. Love to go but haven been put off by the fact that you gave to join when you arrive. I don't like to make hast commitments as it took me ages to propose to Liz. Lol

Fair point Andy.
A club making use of a location which has an open policy like that probably doesn't have exclusive rights on the rally dates.
That would be an excellent way for non members to see a rally before making the move to join.

Nice one.

I understand.
I didn't think anyone was being picked on Andy.
It is a good point which I had never thought of before.

I have checked with committee members from the Armagh Rugby Club, who have told me that their grounds are strictly private. You need permission from the Rugby Club Committee to use it for parking overnight.This weekend their grounds are being hired by the ICCC and only their members are allowed to attend. New members are welcome but must be prepared to joint the ICCC on arrival, where members of the Northern Branch would provide a form for them. Hopefully this will clear any grey areas for this weekend.

Well now that's the matter cleared up and dusted.

i think it is a courtesy if someone is there to let them know you intend to stay.

as with all things in life there are times when things have to change a bit, for example if a hotel usually lets vans stay over but they have a big wedding or similar on then on that occasion it would be probable there would be no room to overnight or if the facility was fully booked.
in this instance the rugby club has been booked for a private event so no room available.
its only a weekend or two over a year
