2027 rally list - updates

We've had a few more members put their names down to marshal 2027 rallies - many thanks to all those who have volunteered.
We still have some gaps. Please consider whether you can support the Centre by marshaling or co-marshaling in 2027.
As always, there are lots of experienced members who would be happy to support a new marshal.

STATISTICS FOR MILESTONE PLAQUES

You may recall that back in October 2025 the Committee agreed that the Centre would no longer keep count of the number of rallies members attend and that a self-reporting system would be implemented for those members who would like to work towards milestone plaques.

Milestone rally plaques are given out when members attend a significant number of rallies. The first milestone is 100 rallies and then every additional 100 ie 200, 300 etc.

Similarly, for marshalling rallies, the milestones are 25, 50, 75, 100 etc.

If you would like to maintain your attendance statistics, please provide a list of the rallies you have attended starting with Halloween Rally 31 October 2025, up to and including the AGM rally 2026 (please assume attendance for those rallies taking place in the next few weeks).
Please include any invitation rallies and attendance at Clubfest.

Please send these to chairman@derbyshirecentre.com by Friday 11 September 2026.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ABOUT THE BONFIRE RALLY

At the Committee meeting last night we had a discussion about the Bonfire Rally. The discussion started in relation to low bookings, the costs of fireworks and the deadline for purchasing them.

It became apparent, that as a group we feel uncomfortable taking on the Health and Safety responsibilities connected with running this rally. Specifically, the letting off fireworks and the responsibility of ensuring the bonfire is safe. We also have the consideration of storing fireworks safely as they have to be ordered in advance.

As a consequence, we have taken the decision to cancel this rally in good time to allow members to make other plans for that weekend. We apologise for any disappointment this causes. Deposit refunds will be made in due course.

2027 Holiday Rallies

The Committee are looking for suggestions for Holiday Rallies in the UK for the 2027 program.

Even better still would be a Holiday Rally site which you would be willing to marshal 😁

Please have a chat to our Rally Secretary, Glyn Hallam if you can help.

Change in process - rally attendance statistics

The committee has agreed that with immediate effect, we adopt a system which Derbyshire members can opt into by self-reporting the rallies they have attended.

How will this work? In July/August members who wish to work towards the milestone plaques will be asked to send in their statistics for the year. This can then be verified by the Statistics Officer. Any milestones achieved will be announced as usual at the AGM.
