Entries are now open for our annual Branch Veteran Rally, which will be held on
Sunday 25th September 2022.
The run will begin at West Eyreton Domain, North Eyre Road, meeting there at 9.30am for a 10.00am start. There is plenty of room for trailers and parking there, and toilets are also available. The domain is right next door to West Eyreton School, and we will invite the school community to come and have a look while we’re there. Once on the road, the run will travel via a common route and then split into a short and long route. The long route (approx. 40km) will travel to Oxford via View Hill, and the short route (approx. 25km) will proceed to Oxford via a more direct route. All of the running is very suitable for veteran motoring and on quiet sealed backroads. After a short stop in Oxford, the run will carry on and stop for a BYO picnic lunch at Ribblesdale Gardens just 3km away. The garden here will be at its springtime best. After lunch and a look around the garden, we will return to West Eyreton Domain for the field tests at 2.30pm. Prizegiving will be held at the Platform Bar in Mandeville Village, where people can stay on for dinner if they wish. The entry fee is $25 per vehicle and driver - this will include a rally plaque and entry for the driver to the private garden where we are stopping for lunch. Each additional person (all passengers) will be an extra $10 per person for their entry to Ribblesdale Gardens. Entries close Friday 9th September. The entry form is available now on the branch website https://www.canterburybranchvintagecarclub.org.nz/events Only pre-registered vehicles will be able to attend on the day – this is to ensure we can advise you of any changes (especially if the weather is bad on the day) and will also ensure we can make prior bookings at the venues we visit. All veteran-age vehicles are invited and encouraged to attend, including any from outside of the region. Veteran motorcycles are especially encouraged to join in. A back-up vehicle with trailer will accompany the run. Two-wheel braked vintage vehicles also very welcome, but will not be eligible for awards. Likewise, if there are any veteran owners who for some reason cannot bring a vehicle but want to join in, please just give me a call so we can accommodate you. Any enquiries, please contact: Colin Hey, VCC Canterbury Branch Veteran Convenor, Phone 021 883 807, email heywolseley699@gmail.com
