Is this definitely on at Tulleys? I live opposite and there's no advertising for it, no mention on their twitter feed and it's not on their website for upcoming events.

It's been confirmed. Perhaps Tulleys just haven't got round to updating their website yet?

Doesn't bode well......Hopefully they have cleared up after Shocktober, it was an absolute hole then.....

Anyone else notice this? The postcode, on any of the mapping programmes I've used, doesn't point at Tulleys Farm, but at Worth Hall.
I've checked the postcode on Tulley's website and it was quoted correctly on the entry form.

I've just been on their website and there are no advertised events for June!

Is there a way of paying electronically? I find the cheque, A5 SAE thing troublesome as my bank account doesn't support this method.

I've taken to just turning up and paying on the day, which is generally more expensive.

You may need to get in touch with mmoc Derby to check that out, if you're not happy with paying on the day. However, it's only a few quid more and has the advantage of giving the option of not going if it's tipping it down with rain. That's how I tend to play it now.

Aha! We're hoping to go, but still have some items in the diary we need to clear out first. Is not-booking and just paying on the day an acceptable option then?

I was under the impression that it was largely being boycotted as its hardy in a central location... nevertheless I aim to just show up, doubt they'd turn away

Everybody is welcome - member, non member, with Minor or not (if off road or not got one) - just turn up & pay on the gate - the more the merrier

Bit harsh on London. I will be coming from just south of Cambridge. but have done Donnington and all five of the first MOT overseas when I were nowt but a lad! I liked Weston Park, fairly central for most people !

Im coming along with a few others from Northern Ireland, not so many cars travelling from here this time but I wouldnt miss it! Ive been every year since Donnington and a few other before that as well. Im hoping for a great turn out and perhaps some different cars that dont like driving too far!


Too many Minors so little time.....

I don't know why those in the north get so upset when once in a blue moon it's the southerners who can just roll out of bed, and be there! :roll:

It re-inforces the entirely accurate stereotype that we are all soft southerners no better than a big girl's blouse.

One to aim for in terms of the restoration / work schedule. Although the auto jumble is not as extensive as the bi annual Beaulieu, it is at least minor focussed.

Hi all,

Just to be clear, you are all MORE than welcome to turn up on the day. It's £15 per car but if you are camping that's extra of course.

Hopefully all from the south who wanted the rally in the south will show up in force to prove that it's worthwhile having the rally this far south.

Oh and there is no boycott either! We are having the rally in the south this time as it has been requested several times but we will be able to see after this event if it's financially viable for the future and how many actually turn up so come along and make the numbers up. :D :D
