The time for the rally at Binton is now fast approaching so I thought that it would be a good idea to recap a few points for all those of you who are attending.
First of all, if you have registered to attend this rally but cannot make it for any reason, please notify myself or LadyJ as soon as possible. This is very important as we will be very stretched for space at Binton and need to know exactly how many motorhomes we need to fit into the available space.
Although a site visit yesterday confirmed that the ground conditions are useable, with the recent rain we expect them to be less than perfect so it will be in your own interest to make sure you bring along all your wet weather gear such as: waterproofs, wellies, bread trays (or whatever you use for traction), snow chains (if you have them), tow ropes etc. The site doesn’t have any rescue facilities so come prepared if you don’t want to get stuck! If for any reason the ground conditions become too bad we will announce it in this thread as soon as we know, so please mark this thread to notify you of any new posts.
The site is on a gentle slope so you will need to bring along levelling blocks and don’t forget your fire bucket/fire extinguishers.
Please do not arrive before 10.00am on Friday, there is no last arrival time but we would be grateful if anyone arriving late could keep the noise levels down due to there being children who will be in bed early. If you are expecting to arrive very late, (after 11.00pm) please let us know in advance so we don’t have to keep marshals on duty into the early hours unnecessarily.
Please note that there are two entrances to the field, only one of which is for our use, there will be a notice directing you to the correct entrance and we would be obliged if you would follow these directions.
Apologies for the long instructions, we aren’t really getting like the Caravan Club, it’s just that on this inaugural rally, with so many attendees we need to at least try to be organised.
PS: There WILL NOT be a FLAG ceremony on Sunday morning.
Having never been to a rally and if the field is soggy, what state is the ground going to be after 70 motorhomes struggle to get out again or does it not matter.
Please note the Possl Panel Van is an A class, 30 feet long with 6 wheels and a trailer pulling the Pussers Pasty Pantry Porta Cabin. I may need hard standing.

Pusser,
If it's raining it will be your worst nightmare come true, a sloping grass rally field with limited space and many of the drivers not having a clue how to maneuver in a confined area in those conditions.
Lets hope the weather stays fine
Don
