Our Area Network

Hundreds of our members affiliate to one of our network of over 30 Area Groups which are run by our hard working team of Area Secretaries. They enable groups of like-minded military vehicle enthusiasts to offer each other local mutual support, share and discuss information, and organise and attend events together. Many visit schools and go on road runs and some even organise trips abroad. Most meet monthly to get together, socialise and enjoy the hobby. To find out more, please contact your local Area (see below)

Our Areas receive a package of support from the Council of Management which includes financial and practical assistance, access to area merchandise etc

We also have an Area Liaison Officer who supports Area Secretaries and organises virtual Area Secretary support meetings every 2 or 3 months.​

We encourage all areas to  send in Area Reports for our Windscreen Magazine – it is a great way of showcasing your activities and keeping in touch.

Area Secretaries can register all area activities on our Events Insurance Register so that they are covered by our enhanced PLI cover.

Area Administration Page

Area Secretaries can access the Area Secretary Administration page on this website, which includes important and useful documents to support Area Secretaries in their work.

No area close to where you live? If there isn’t an area near you and there is a group of people wanting to be part of an area, why not consider setting up your own? The Council of Management offer all the support necessary to establish a new area and you will receive ongoing support.  It is a rewarding task and helps the MVT spread the word about the hobby. To find out more see below or contact our Area Liaison Officer.

Forming a new MVT ArEA

Formation of a New Area

If a group of members wish to form a new Local Area, they should contact the Area Liaison Officer, who will guide them through the process. Financial and practical support is available .

To fulfill the requirements of the Charity Commission, the proposed Area Secretary must have been an MVT member for a full 12-month period  and  be able to sign the HMRC “fit and proper” person form  and the Area Secretary Responsibility Form that confirms their understanding of the role and their intention to undertake their duties to the best of their ability. The new area should meet at least 30 miles from any existing area meeting and the views of neighbouring areas will be sought.

An AGM must be held within 3 months of establishment to confirm the appointment of the Area Secretary and adopt the Area Constitution.
