Coming Up

Some cars sit and mope all day

Their owners keep them locked away

It is not their wish to stay at home

While other cars go out to roam

Think of the cars that never rally

How sad they never see a valley

Nor motor up the distant hills

Or joust in traffic for their thrills

Tis sad to see them left in sheds

How would you like to be kept in bed

Let them out to have some fun Bring them along on our next run.

Please Note: two asterisks ** identify a club organised run/rally. Phil Podbury, Club Captain

Are you considering running a touring rally next year? If so, bring your ideas to the next club meeting to get an idea of how many members would like to attend. You don’t need to have much detail sorted out yet, just a general route and where you might stay overnight. Accommodation is usually the factor that limits how many can attend – we normally have plenty of members that want to go! There may also be some other members that might want to help run your rally.
