Hi Nog doing the 60th should support the club not up to speed on what the others are doing.

Hi Nog, I have lost contact with a lot of region 11 but at the last 3 meetings i went to i tried to give away 2 free tickets for the national rally and no one was interested in them. Most people i have spoken to are going to Shipley, Give me a ring when you get back to Blighty, i still have the same number, is your number still the same, if not text it to me. Hope to catch you for a beer, dont forget my gallon of rouge.

It's a shame they can't support the Club on just one occasion. But never mind 400 tickets pre-sold so we won't miss a few

Hi Roger,
wasnt looking to be negative,circumstances prevent me from doing any rally that weekend now. The feedback I received from region 11 was that they have been to the last three national rallys at Oswestry and most of region 11 believe that they would have had a better time at a different rally. The facilities at Oswestry i.e toilets,showers,stalls and entertainment were not good to say the least, and reports from rallys such as Shipley have always been very good. I do not think region 11 members want to risk being disappointed at yet another national rally. I fully understand that this is a new venue, but in my opinion I do not think the bands are good enough for a 60th celebration at a national rally. I know from experience that the bands booked for the national are very good, but I for one would expect a little bit more for my money. I sincerely hope for the sake of the club that the national is a success, both in numbers and financially. I hope to see you all in a field next year once normality resumes!!
