Already signed up, we were apparantly the first.

Anyone thinking of going, don't just think, do it, fantastic trip hosted by one of the best teams around, the welcome is fantastic and the Sunday lunch in Lessay was a real treat.

Hopefully we will be in with a chance of the biggest club turnout this year as I have persuaded a few others to come!

An event not to be missed!

Talking

So far 12 entries, don't miss out on a good time.

If you are interested in competing in the rally it is vital that you register by the 31st March 2005.
On the 31st March, all the rooms held at the Pomme d'Or will be released. If you enter after that time accommodation at the 'Pomme' cannot be guaranteed. The Rally Manager will try very hard to get you in but, if there are no rooms available you will have to stay in an alternative hotel.

Bob Pooley of Pooleys books and shops is one of the rally sponsors.

Mike Collett of 'Air Atlantique' fame will be performing with his band on Saturday night, “Intentionally Blank”.

Sign up soon or you might be disappointed.

You can enter later but a room in the Pomme d'Or will not be guaranteed, last year late entrants stayed in the Merton Hotel (St Helier), a sister hotel owned by Seymour Hotels. It is a family hotel with many facilities including the Island's water park.

More people have joined the rally entrants, the competition is hotting up.

Sign up soon, preferably before 31st March to avoid disappointment.
