CQ RALLIES NEWS.
Herewith the rally list update compiled from information available
on 28 March 2008. A fair few new ones.
If a listing gives a website, then please visit that site and check
that the details I have given are still correct.
Users of satellite navigation equipment would appreciate the inclusion
of a postcode or NGR reference in the information provided. Alternatively
a link to a mapping web page showing the rally site would be useful.
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several club websites that are decades out of date ...)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.
