Rats, I've missed the pre-booking date!

Not worried about missing the Sat eve do as I really enjoyed hanging out with folk instead last year.

Thinking of driving down to Reading to meet Mike Perry on Friday afternoon and set off for the rally..

Ani said she might join the convoy with CharlieMorrisMinor. I'm waiting to hear.

Anyone else want to join in enroute?

I hope to leave Wolverton [Milton Keynes] mid afternoon Friday.

Can't wait to see that lovely little lad of yours Ray!

Hello Luke!

Wonder if there are any duck ponds/rivers nearby.

Thanks Dale.

OK - Charlie isn't able to make it to the National so I've offered my pick-up to anyone else who might be interested in taking her along. I'll be taking son's trav/pick-up. My only concern about meeting up in he Reading area at about 4.30 on a Friday is traffic :o :o Is this a wise time bearing in mind how many people might also be making their way down to Glastonbury?? Let me know what you think.

Dennis - I don't think you've seen the traffic in the Reading area - particularly on a Friday! M3, M4 and M25 are usually best avoided after 3pm on a Friday. I imagine it would be better after 7pm :-)

Try to leave nearer to lunchtime (if you can get away) so you can be ahead of the rush? :D

Just sent my application off today.

Hadnt realised my membership had expired back in March, no reminders or re-newals sent either with the Mag which I was a little perplexed by.

Do you need to be registered to turn up for exhibitor and competition parking, will be touch and go with the time scale of everything for me.

Does anyone know whats going to be there or the format for the weekend??

You need to contact Jonathan re the track - don't know if he's got any spaces left.

Pre-entry to main rally closed Jun 13th so it's just turn up on the day from now on.

I must say I'm really looking forward to the rally this year, it should be fun, and nice to meet up with a few messageboard members again.
It'll be my longest drive in the minor so far too. Preparation for MOT-UK!
