International Rally 2009 - Walesby Forest

[Old_Bob]

Dunno if I would like to see Harrys dongle Phill -- his clogs are bad enough

I paid a visit to Walesby Forest (venue for our 2009 International Rally) last saturday. My first visit was back in november and the place looked pretty good despite the weather. Seeing it in glorious sunshine showed what a really nice spot it is. It'll make a great setting for our 60th anniversary gathering. There was a marquee set up, which isn't as big as the one we will have, but gave an idea of how to lay out the field for traders/food etc. I've got an idea of where to stick the Hostility Tent to take advantage of facilities and see what's going on while relaxing with a cup of Darjeeling and a cucumber sarnie - crusts removed naturally. All in all it's looking pretty promising. I clocked almost exactly 200 miles from my place to the venue and it's a pretty easy ride on decent roads.

So let's have the best ever turnout from the Sussex Coasters at an International Rally in the H-DRCGB's 60th Anniversary year

I hope everyone is lookin' forward to this event; it'll be a great chance to show some new people what the Club can be about and welcome them to the 'family'

Twas a duty but a pleasant one Bob (well, as pleasant as a 13 hour day, 400 odd miles and a touch of sunburn can be - Note to self. Put on more sunblock)

Phil....

Thought I'd let you see what classy entertainment we've got sorted for the international.

First, Simple Tom ....



... dashing lookin' dude ain't he, should fit right in with the high standard of dress required at Riders Club events


and Sylvester the Jester of Leicester



I think Sylverster has a passing resemblence to Old Ron from down New Forest way .... perhaps he's been earning a bit on the side

Naaaa . Old Ron ( Rappid Ron) would"t wear a hat like that ,

He would have one with Horns on it, the ole devil
