Rally 2009
And
Border Rovers Tour
Thirlstane Castle
May 23rd and 24th
The
organising committee invite owners of all classic Rover cars and Land
Rover vehicles to take part in the annual Scottish All Rover Rally.
The event
will this year be based at Thirlestane Castle, near Lauder, over the
Spring Bank Holiday weekend of Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th
May 2009.
Now in its
fifteenth year, our unique event offers:
Scotland’s
premier event for all Rover car and Land Rover enthusiasts.
Special
guests: The Wolseley Register.
Optional
road tour on Saturday.
Camping and
caravan space available on adjacent site.
Saturday
evening social event for entrants.
Free access
to Thirlestane Castle grounds for 2 persons. (Pre booked entrants only).
Discounted
entry to Castle. (Open Sunday only)
Trophy
awards for all classes, oldest vehicle entered etc.
Commemorative rally memento, guaranteed first 100 bookings only.
To start
the event, we will be organising a road tour of the Borders region on
Saturday 23rd May. The format will allow entrants to visit a
number of attractions at their own pace, with opportunities to take
refreshments and explore the countryside. Tour distance is expected to
be around 90 miles, and is planned so you can enjoy the uncongested open
roads of Berwickshire and its varied scenery.
We will be
hosting an informal social gathering for entrants on Saturday evening at
Thirlestane Castle. A buffet supper will be followed by a fun quiz. This
part of the rally was oversubscribed last year; the venue has restricted
seating so only the first 50 bookings can be accepted. Reservations must
be made using the attached booking form. Your ticket includes a welcome
drink and wine or soft drinks with your meal.
On Sunday
24th we host our usual static event, with self judged
concours and Championship judging. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of our
event and renew old friendships, maybe even make some new ones! Explore
the Castle and its grounds and walks, sample the tea room and gift shop.
