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.

For the first weekend in December 57 members and guests gave up their tents and bikes to dress up and attend the Christmas Party. Held at the impressive Royal Hotel in Ross on Wye, the town and all of its hostelries (and on Friday night its restaurants as well) were graced with members catching up and improving the local economy.

On Wednesday night as members were using Facebook to encourage an early turnout at the Miners Standard, the weatherman showed that the weekend temperatures would be in single figures and some white stuff might be around. But that doesn’t put Mayflower off and the early pioneers were there on Thursday to plant the Mayflower Flag (if we had one), more arrived on Friday and Sue and I on Saturday

The 43rd Pilgrims Rally was once again a sterling success with great weather, a sell-out attendance, a brilliant band and a great turnout of members, as well as guests.
