The Irishman Creek Rally

3rd/4th June 2023

This year’s rally will start from the Rangiora Racecourse, Lehmans Road, Rangiora at 7.30 am Saturday morning. Rally packs can be collected from the Canterbury Branch Clubrooms at the Noggin meeting on Thursday 1st from 7 pm. The bar will be open and out of town visitors are welcome to join us. Again they will also be available on the Friday 2nd from 6pm to 8pm from the club rooms. We encourage early collection to allow for a smooth departure on the Saturday morning.

As per last year, lunches will be the responsibility of each entrant. With over 400 people attending, getting a volunteer group and a venue to cater for this many people is now not possible.

Prize giving and supper will be in the community hall on Sunday which will open from 6.30 for a 7.30 presentation. While back up vehicles are provided, all vehicles must be self sufficient and carry chains for mud or snow and be adequately prepared to cover some distance on back country roads with river crossings. As we will be crossing private farms strictly NO DOGS are allowed.

The Irishman Rally is open to Vintage Car Club Members only and for Vintage and Veteran aged vehicles. The winner and runner up will be drawn as per tradition from the entrants participating.

All entrants are eligible without exception. The winner and runner up will be joined by a small team to assist with the task of organising the following year’s event. This is what makes the rally special and provides the variety we see each year as a new person gets to put their mark on this event. While this is a challenge, there is a team behind you.
