ANNUAL RALLY (Definative Dates & Location)
« on: March 16, 2008, 02:48:34 PM »
Sorry to be a complete pain but the dates of the Annual Rally have had to be changed from those recently published. The new, immovable & fixed, dates and location are as follows:

27-29 June 2008
Ukrainian Centre
Weston On Trent
Derby
DE72 2BU

It will cost £3.50 per tent per night (payable at the venue, there will be NO pre-booking). The site has showers and toilets and has been used as a Rally venue by other motorcycle clubs. There are two pubs about ten minutes walk away in Weston-on-Trent. As per previous years, there will be some sort of hot meal for the Friday night.

The rally site has plenty of space, and I think we will possibly be the only people there. If you could let me know if you (and spouses, friends etc.) are coming, either by replying here or by e-mail, it will make it easier to organise things.

Cheers for now........

You used the word 'organise' TUT TUT!

Will the club marquee and other such items that I have collected over the years be required and will I be expected to bring them down?

OR will this be one of the discussed 'minimalistic' events?

too much luxury is corrosive - Go on Boyd go minimalist - no tents allowed only bivvies and shelter sheets, cold MOD rations and cheap Gin. ;D

We must not forget that this is our club annual rally and people come from all over the place including some of the Dutch / Belgium contingent and if the weather is inclement the marquee is ideal. If Boyd intends to do some form of catering where / how will he do it for 30 plus persons?
