Herewith start/end of month rallies list compiled from information
available on 2 April 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several club websites that are decades out of date ...)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 and a pleasant day out.
