CQ RALLIES.
Mid-month rally update. A few new ones, a few updates.
Herewith Rallies List compiled from information available on
15 March 2007.
If a listing gives a website, then please visit that site and check
that the details I have given are still correct.
Failing a website, if you are travelling some distance to a rally, it
could save time, money and disappointment if you phone the contact number to
check that all is well before setting off. (On the other hand I know of
several club websites that are decades out of date ...)
Have nice weather, a pleasant day out and Happy Rallying.
Best Wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

in order to have the rally publicised on the Internet and on the packet
