Who are we?
The Mayflower Motorcycle Club is a national club with a local feel - we are renowned for being a very sociable touring club with a wide range of members across the country - the focus being that it doesn't matter what motorcycle you own as long as you ride it.
The Club organises a full social calendar, including the long-standing Pilgrims Rally and monthly camping weekends held in different parts of the country and abroad. A pre-requisite for these events is a real ale pub with good food. The club likes to camp in interesting parts of the country where members can enjoy a decent ride and have somewhere to look around during the course of the weekend. These camping weekends are regularly attended by 40 percent of the club's membership.
In addition, the club attends rallies all over Europe, including events organised by the FIM,
Over the course of the year, some 80% of the club's 200+ membership attend a club event, which reflects the enthusiasm of its members and may surprise some of the larger local, national and one-make clubs.
45th Pilgrims Rally
It is with regret that we have had to cancel this year’s Pilgrims Rally. This decision has not been taken lightly and has been made after discussions with the vineyard.
If you have already bought a ticket, your booking can be held for next year’s rally or refunded.
We can confirm that the 45th Pilgrims Rally will be held on 6th – 8th August 2021.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
If you have forgotten not to attend our Dreaded Lurgy Rally, then why not? Non-attendance costs £8.50 and you will receive a commemorative patch with all profits going to the charity Turn2us.
Smart Alec clock maker
Congratulations to Alec Dick who has found a way to get through the Lock Down. An old motorcycle engine (can you guess what it is yet?), stripped of the internals, polished to within an inch of its life and converted into a Mayflower Clock for the mantelpiece.Virtual Camping Weekend - The NelsonHead 2020
Slowly, the old valve radio in the corner crackled into life...’This is the shipping forecast for the British Isles …….
He’d heard enough. Leaning over Chris S. switched off the radio and went back to his knitting, it was probably going to rain the whole weekend. Being an ex fireman he’d dealt with water before; he’d ridden in it, paddled in it, hell he’d even drank it from time to time... but the thought of doing anything nautical on it did not appeal to him.

Camping Weekends are cancelled until further notice
It is with great sadness that we have to announce this year's camping weekends are having to be cancelled until further notice.
Although this decision has not been taken lightly we must be sensible and take on board the current evolving situation in regards to Coronavirus (covid-19) and minimise the risk of spread to those vulnerable and with health conditions.
Also as a club that has always done is best to patronise the great British pub, our hearts go out to them at this uncertain time.
Take care, look after each other and wash your hands.

On behalf of the Committee
