FICC 2007 - Millstreet Ireland

In 2007 Millstreet, County Cork played host to the 73rd International Camping and Caravanning in the event’s third visit to Ireland.  With 37 camping and caravanning clubs from 22 different countries attending, 1,360 units, that is over 3200 visitors have descended upon Millstreet for the duration of this 12-day rally. 

The Irish Camping and Caravan Club, who played host to the event, are hoping the  rally will help to  promote and develop the camping and caravanning sector while fostering a real interest in a healthy outdoor lifestyle.  The people and businesses of Millstreet added hugely to the event with their level of hospitality and goodwill shown  to the visitors.

Providing a wonderful opportunity to extend a traditional Irish welcome to all our like-minded overseas visitors, the rally organisers hope the event will provide a unique platform to promote the Irish Camping & Caravanning sector and Ireland as a quality caravanning destination.

Upcoming FICC International Rallies

79th International F.I.C.C. Rally in Slawa/Poland from 6 to 14 August 2013 www.79ficcrally.pl

The rally site – an existing campsite that is due to be extended - is on the shores of a lake and has its own beach. All of the necessary infrastructure is in place. The organisers will also be giving out more information soon.

The principal International FICC Youth Rally is held every Easter.  The FICC Youth Rallies are intended to enable campers aged between 14 and 30 years old from all   countries of the world get together and form bonds of friendship. 

The rallies take place in a different country of the FICC each year and the country to organise the Rally is appointed by the FICC Youth Commission. The organising country is free to choose the necessary measures to make the FICC Youth Rally a complete success. 

The main objective of an FICC Youth Rally is to further friendship among young campers from all around the world and the camping event normally has a program of cultural, tourist, and sporting activities to meet this objective.

In recent years we are delighted to have had a number of our younger club members   in attendance in Santiago, Spain (2009) & Rome, Italy (2010).
