VVC RALLIESCALVADOS RALLY SEPT 2011A DVD of the Rally will be available from the club shop late October.                 ANDOVER RALLY July 2011The weather wasn't so good for this event but spirits were not dampened as 92 people attended. There was much more activity in the clubhouse than on the rally field. However, due to a gap in the rain the rideout was able to take place.

DORKING RALLY 2008 Gallery ImagesWithout doubt this rally has to be one of the best we have had at Brockham. A superb Gymnkhana course with 3 events organised by our Chairman Roger Smith provided enjoyment for both riders and spectators. On the Saturday afternoon Matthew Phillips organised a good ride out of about 22 miles with a spendid pub stop after about 16 miles. The mobile food van on site was serving up some really good grub with Fish & Chips on the Saturday evening, great stuff. Saturday evening also gave us the 60's Soul disco provided by Paul Carr or the opportunity to also visit the Brockham Village Fair which is a spectacle in itself with an old fashioned Fun Fair with Big Wheel etc. Sunday morning presented those interested with the opportunity to have another go on the skill rides, and plenty did. Also the Concours de Elegance. Proceeedings wound up around 1.30pm following the prize giving. Full results will be in the next issue of the Journal. There were 129 entrants on 78 bikes, 50 bikes went on the ride out, for the VVC that was a good turnout. The pictures will tell their own story.

There were 45 participants to the rally. We had a selection of old bikes as well as newer ones, friendships renewed and new ones made. There was a skills area which a good few attempted. A ride out on Saturday afternoon included a ford for those who 'dared'. There was a stop at a quaint thatched pub with 'tea and cake' , which proved popular and what proved to be a superb dinner in the evening with old Vespa film footage, a memrobelia auction, a quiz and some live music provided by member Tony Purdy. It has been suggested that we should consider a repeat of a rally at this venue another year. It is hoped that a short DVD of the rally will be available some time in mid July.
