Fingers crossed for this year. I am just printing a newsletter for S.A.V.E as it's not too early to get members for a club stand.

i hope this years show will be blessed with sunshine to make up for last year ..one thing that I must say is that last year we stayed on the camping area which is a lovely spot and it was interesting to see the damage that was being done to the field through demonstrations of bad or shall i say uneducated drivers.There was the 4x4 drivers that knew how to drive their car and would just let the car drive and just float over the mud but get through no hassle or drama and then we would see the opposite 4x4 drivers taking runs at the muddy route and spinning wheels and skidding and digging into the mud making the road worse and making it harder for others to use.then we would see lets call them older drivers and they too would take their time and get through no bother so for everyone to moan about the conditions on the camping area and the field perhaps many of them should consider their driving techniques and it was a combination of circumstances weather the biggest influence , so i hope this year that the weather is good and the sun shines and we wont have the same problems and finally i would like to give a BIG BIG hug to those brilliant tractor drivers who were on hand and did a brilliant job and got little praise they should get a medal..maybe there should be an award for the the knights in tractors..!!!!
Can the 2013 entry forms not be printed and be available to be collected at the 2012 rally not every one uses the internet .

Hi, I wondered if you hired out stalls. I sell cards, gift wrap and stationery on behalf of Phoenix trading (www.phoenix-trading.co.uk/web/judewalsh). We sell top quality cards at below shop prices and they are gorgeous). Please email booking details to me. Many thanks.
some people need some thing to complain about well didnt they have plenty to moan about this year most will be back next year because its one of the best rallys just needs a few things sorted and the SUN to shine see you next time in the camping field Iris

big thanks to alister and anne who put us to our stall in that wet saturday ,they did very well in the poor ground condition ,but for the new pitch price rise it was a big let down ,rain keeps the public away and as all year the public have no money to spend worst 2 days ever as we made a loss over the 2 days Ј2.00 per frontage was too mutch and a lot of sellers did not come ,this will have a nock on for next year ,all year has been bad as they dont want to spend so have a think on the stall prices for next year as it was a wash out for the stall holders ,just ask those who where there

well what can i say about sunday , 25 minutes to get in to the show nobody to show us to our area mud everywhere one way in & one way out all this for Ј2 ,i might not bother next time.
Well said Eric, just a tiny thought, what must it be like to run a whole country with many negative people in it

Firstly can I say a huge thank you to all the exhibitors and spectators who despite the horrendous conditions we were faced with this weekend, still turned up and made the rally a success. Also, the volunteers and tractor drivers who had the task of trying to keep the rally running as smoothly as possible, you guys were amazing and we cannot thank you enough for your efforts. This weekend has been the most difficult in the history of Selkirk Rally. We had 45mm of rain on Friday, followed by more on Saturday and Saturday night. This caused huge problems on the rally field and the camp site.
I would like to address just a couple of the comments made by previous posters. The delays on the way in to the rally was due to us having to close one of the access gates. On rally day we use 2 entrances so that the traffic can enter the field as quickly as possible. However, due to the wet conditions we had to temporarily close gate 1 to allow us to do some ground work to make it suitable for vehicles to get in. Also, because the field was so wet, rather than let vehicles just drive in through gate 2, we had to space them out so that the vehicles had plenty of room in the wet conditions. This obviously caused delays, but it was the only way to do it safely. As for finding it difficult to find compounds, we had to make the decision on Sunday morning to take down some compounds and move others in order for the incoming vehicles to always have clean ground to run on. I personally told several entrants to park anywhere they could in the field if they were happy to not be in their compound. The response I received from that was 100% positive as they were just happy to be on the field. I should also point out that the field staff were stretched to breaking point by the extra work that the conditions caused, hence, other less experienced staff had to be drafted in to help. I am truly sorry that some entrants did not find Selkirk Rally to be an enjoyable day, as without the support of the exhibitors we would not have a rally. I would also like to add, (although this is not an excuse for anything) we are a new committee. Mike and Maria did an incredible job of running this rally and we have a huge task to live up to their high standards. We have made mistakes this year, but we are learning from them and if we make the same mistakes next year, we will deserve to be torn to shreds.
Finally, I cannot stress this enough.........thank you so much to those who were patient, understanding and supportive on our most difficult of days. It was truly a baptism of fire!
