Escapers
Escapers Convergence Events (10+ events) - Escapees RV Club - We realize that not everyone’s schedule will allow them to attend weeklong, jam-packed events like Escapade. So we like to organize informal “convergences” where Xscapers can camp near each other and have a more relaxed pace of educational seminars and activities that still allows plenty of time for fitting in work and family time. After all, we’re not retired or on vacation, but we love being amongst our community too.

Road Rallies
Road Rallies have been around for many decades, but are not as popular today as they once were, perhaps people are more into virtual road games. From Wikipedia: A road rally is a car rally that takes place on the public road. It is a popular sport in the United Kingdom, especially Wales, and has traditionally been the core of the "grass roots" of club-based amateur motorsport. (At the bottom of the Wikipedia page is a list.)
