The Members’ Online Rally Programme has been updated with more rally site GPS Coordinates. It now contains coordinates for the majority of this year’s rallies. It is a very time-consuming task producing the coordinates and it has only been possible to do them, in what is always a busy month for website changes, with a lot of help from Roy Hancock – thank you Roy.

There are just a few more to add and then I will produce the usual downloadable files for SatNavs and Google Earth.

I hope you find the coordinates useful if only to get a rough idea of distances. However, if you do use them for guidance, please be aware that whilst every effort is taken to produce accurate data, its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Always check the Rally Book directions especially when near to the location. Some Rally instructions specifically advise NOT to use SatNav directions when approaching sites.

The online booking for the 2022 AGM Rally is now live on the website. Access is via a link in the ‘AGM Rally 2022 Online Bookings’ section on this home page.

The link will take members to a page explaining the 3 payment options available followed by a form to complete. The payment options are:

1. PayPal or Debit/Credit Card via PayPal.
2. BACS Transfer.
3. Direct Debit (if you already have a mandate set up for your membership subscriptions).

Option 1 is very similar to what we use currently use for new members/renewals and allows for payment by PayPal or Card immediately.
Option 2 requires further action to set up a bank transfer for the amount displayed which is explained on the webpage after the form is submitted.
Option 3 does not require any further action by the member.

As the Rally Book is only published once a year, there will inevitably be changes to a rally’s details or other announcements relating to it during the year. Some items are of low importance, but others are very important such as marshal contact details, dates, locations etc. Any news items I receive are usually published within 24 hours, especially if I receive the text of the item in an email rather than me having to find further information and then compose it.

The Latest Rally News section on this page has been slightly modified and now includes a link for a quick look up of rally numbers which have at least one news item published – there are currently 10 listed.

If the rally you are interested in is listed, I strongly recommend you then click on the Latest Rally News information icon, change the sort order by clicking on the button at the top and then scroll down to the required rally number. When there is more than one item for a rally they will be shown with the latest one first.

Happy Rallying, Webmaster

Hello Members.

Happy New Year to you all.

Now we have begun another year and a new rallying season, I hope Government Guidelines and Regulations allow us to continue getting out and about in a covid safe way as we did last year. If you weren’t able to join a rally last year, or have only recently joined our club, please take a look at what’s on offer in the 2022 Rally Programme and consider joining rallies; all our rallies will be run strictly in accordance with Government Guidelines and Regulations applicable at the time.

Thank you all for your continued membership. I wish you and your families a very Happy and Prosperous 2022.

John Brailsford, President
