Members please be aware that as of Monday 4th March 2024 I will be unavailable and completely off comms from my role of Secretary for the club. I am being admitted to hospital on Monday morning to undergo major surgery and to begin follow up treatment. I anticipate being ‘absent’ from my post for about 4 weeks. In the meantime, whilst I’m not available, if you have any club queries or issues, please direct them in the first instance to your ACM or to Ron chairman@swift-owners-club.com or to Sarah rallysec@swift-owners-club.com to deal with.
Engraving plates and/or shields can be ordered through Ron.
Thank you for your understanding.
Elaine Baker, Club Secretary.

The 2024 Rally Venues Book is now online in the usual place on the General Info page. It replaces the January – Easter Temporary Rally Book 2024.
The webpage section also includes a link to the Amendments Flyer which was included with the Spring Edition of Going Places. The Flyer is a PDF document which can be viewed and/or downloaded to mobile devices.
Please note that the Amendments Flyer is not a replacement for the Latest Rally News. Some of the information may be duplicated there, but the Latest Rally News may also contain additional information relating to a rally. As a quick check – there is a link in the Latest Rally News section of the Members’ Home Page to see a list of rally numbers with at least 1 news item in the Latest Rally News.

I was very sad to hear that Honorary Life Member Mike Plant passed away yesterday (18th February) after a long illness.
Mike and his wife Chris from Rugeley joined the Club back in 1978 and were well known regular ralliers.
Mike and Chris, along with daughters Kerry and Michelle, rallied regularly for many years until they recently had to retire from caravanning due to Mike’s health and became Honorary Life Members.
Having been a member for over 45 years, Mike will be greatly missed by the many SOC friends he and Chris will have made during that time. Like many members Val and I have fond memories of many happy and fun times in their company.
Our thoughts are with Chris and their family at this sad and difficult time.
I will publish funeral details here in the Members’ News in due course.

We still have 3 fully serviced hard standing pitches available.
If you have not viewed Latest Rally News then you may think you are past the final booking date. The date in the rally book should have read 19th February. However I can extend that date a little before the site needs to allocate the pitches to others.
Also stated in LRN was my email address error. If you have sent me a booking and not received a response from me then I haven’t received it.
Many ralliers are staying extra nights to move on to the Easter Rally afterwards.
Val Brailsford (Marshal)
The Latest Rally News section contains all the rally announcements for this year’s rallies that I have been made aware of. Some of these are low importance but others such as incorrect contact details, locations or dates are very important and I recommend viewing these when booking rallies.
All the following rally numbers have at least 1 associated news item in this section:
1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, 17, 18, 22, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34
