Members please be aware that there will be major traffic disruption around the Coventry / Warwick area from 8pm on Friday 11^th April until 6am on Thursday 1^st May.  The A46 between Coventry and Kenilworth will be closed in both directions at this time. This information has recently been released.  As well as the closure, traffic in the surrounding area is also likely to be hugely disrupted.

Those attending the Easter Rally at Greenhills will be impacted, but so too will anyone using this major route to attend other rallies. 

Although there will be signed diversions, huge disruption is anticipated by those who live in the area. 

One major bottleneck would be when travelling from the north on the M1.  It would be best to avoid the M69 as this changes to become the A46 and will take you in to the middle of the chaos.  It would be worthwhile taking the M42/M40 around the NEC.

Anyone who uses the A46 in Coventry should plan an alternative route, and allow plenty of additional time.  The A46 closure will affect all traffic moving from the M1/M6/M69 to join the M40 at Warwick.  There are no easy local alternatives.

At the AGM Rally the team have planned a Street Party to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Bring your food & drink, decorate your tables and fly flags & bunting too.
The party will be held mid afternoon on the Monday of the rally. Hopefully it will be held outdoors but we will go indoors if necessary.

The first issue of the Rally Secretary’s Draft Rally Programme for next year is now online. This will be updated regularly but not necessarily advertised here each time so it’s worth checking on a regular basis.

The draft programme can be found under Rally Info in the main menu of any Members’ Area webpage.

There are still a few places available on this popular rally. However any of my pitch allocation that are not booked in the next two weeks will be claimed back by the site to allocate to their other customers. 

Please book immediately if you would like to join us. 

It’s a short drive to beautiful Lytham with its many cafes, restaurants, independent shops, beach & windmill. Lytham Hall with its extensive gardens and parkland sits on the edge of the town. 

Lytham St. Anne’s & Blackpool are also nearby. 

All the pitches are on hard standing with water, waste, 16 amps EHU & Wifi together with an award winning amenities block. This is a 4 night rally but extra nights can be booked at a discounted rate via the marshals. 

The local amateur dramatics group have a performance on the Friday evening “Songs from the musicals “ with some comic sketches dotted around the performances. 

Members who attended their 70s/80s evening last year thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Therefore I will be arranging tickets for this year’s performance for those who are interested.
