Hello everyone, I hope you had a very Merry Christmas.
Here is the latest update for the 2009 Rally, from the club’s website:
54th JERSEY INTERNATIONAL AIR RALLY
Friday 26th to Sunday 28th June 2009.
Welcome to the 2009 Jersey International Air Rally.
2009 will see the 54th air rally organised by the Jersey Aero Club. Following the traditional theme, the event will bring together pilots from many countries, with varying levels of experience for a week end of flying competitions, good food, and friendship.
Arriving in Jersey on the Friday, competitors will have taken part in several competitions over Normandy including a timed arrival, spot landing and timed circuit before parking by the clubhouse where a warm welcome awaits. Relaxing in the convivial atmosphere, pilots and crews will renew acquaintances, often from previous rallies, and make new friends, with little more to do than enjoy a great week end in the beautiful island of Jersey.
Entrants can choose either the FULL or BASIC package.
The FULL package, based on double occupancy for the Friday or Saturday nights at the Pomme D’Or Hotel in St. Helier (www.seymourhotels.com) includes entry to all competitions, welcome drink and lunch on the Friday, Friday spectacular seafood buffet, Saturday morning car treasure hunt followed by a vin d’honneur, lunch at the aero club and Saturday night gala dinner dance and awards ceremony. The Pomme D’Or Hotel is the venue for the Friday and Saturday nights functions and will be offering its guests free accommodation for the Sunday night. Each crew will receive a souvenir plaque.
The BASIC package also includes entry to all competitions, welcome drink and lunch on Friday, Saturday morning car treasure hunt, Saturday night gala dinner dance and awards ceremony, and the souvenir plaque. By opting for this package, you are free to choose your own hotel (Jersey Tourism website – www.jersey.com) and of course to join us for the Friday evening and the Saturday lunch. These will have to be booked and paid for separately.
Jersey Airport is generously waiving the landing fees and sponsoring our vin d’honneur. The Jersey Aero Club will not be charging the normal facility fee, therefore enabling us to keep the entry fee to a minimum.
We very much look forward to seeing you all in Jersey, whether seasoned competitors, first time entrants or brand new PPL’s.
