AN INSIGHT INTO THE SHROPSHIRE CENTRE ACTIVTIES / RALLIES FOR 2009                 ###################################################################################

WELCOME TO THE SHROPSHIRE CENTRE WEB SITE, WE ARE A FRIENDLY GROUP OF  PEOPLE  WHO ENJOY GETTING TOGETHER AT WEEKEND CLUB RALLIES. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO JOIN US SOME WEEKEND WHERE YOU WOULD BE MOST WELCOME.

THE SEASONS RALLIES ARE LISTED ON THE WEEKEND RALLIES PAGE OF THIS WEB SITE,ALL YOU HAVE TO DO  IS PICK THE RALLY THAT APPEALS TO YOU, PHONE THE MARSHAL LISTED AND HE WILL GIVE THE DETAILS FOR THAT WEEKEND. ALSO IF YOU ARE REGISTERED WITH THE CENTRE YOU WILL HAVE THE RALLY PROGRAMME FOR 2009 SENT TO YOU BY POST IN JANUARY.

THIS LAST YEAR WE HAD AN INCREASE IN NEW MEMBERS  JOIN THE CENTRE, BUT WE HAD ONLY A FEW MEMBERS JOIN US ON A RALLY. THIS IS SOMETHING WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND AND WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER TO,IF YOUHAVE ANY iDEA I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

AS YOU WILL SEE FROM THE LIST OF RALLIES WE HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT INTERESTS ON THE RALLY FIELD. ANYTHING FROM FLOWER ARRANGING, BOWLING, PHOTOGRAPHY PLUS SOCIALS OR EVEN A QUIET WEEKEND.

WE ALSO DO COLLECT FOR CHARITY THROUGH THE SEASON, THIS YEAR WE RAISED £1000 FOR THE AIR AMBULANCE, WHILE THE JUNIORS COLLECTED £800 FOR RNLI.

WE RUN EXTENDEDE RALLIES FOR BANK HOLIDAYS AND ALSO A MAIN HOLIDAY RALLY, THIS YEAR THE MAIN HOLIDAY RALLY IS AT THE LITTLE COTTON CARAVAN PARK DARTMOUTH DEVON JULY 25th -  AUGUST 8th   FOR TWO WEEKS WITH FULL USE OF ALL FACILITIES OF THE SITE.  BANK HOLIDAYS ARE AS FOLLOWS

MAY DAY    LICKHILL MANOR       STOURPORT ON SEVERN

SPRING BANK HOLIDAY          LEEK STAFFORDSHIRE

LATE BANK HOLIDAY                CHESTNUT FARM     GLOUCESTER

THERE IS ALSO A RALLY RUN FOR THE SHREWSBURY FLOWER SHOW WITH SHUTTLE BUS FROM THE FIELD TO THE SHOW , SO THERE IS NO NEED TO USE THE CAR.                          

THEN THERE IS A RALLY BEING RUN  FOR THE NOCTURNAL CYCLE RACE AT NEWPORT  THIS IS A FIRST FOR THE CENTRE .

ANOTHER RALLY NOT TO BE MISSED IS THE HALLOWEEN AT THE FOXFIELD STEAM RAILWAY WHICH IS WELL WORTH A VISIT.
