The Austin A30 A35 Owners Club International Rally 2020
We have made the tough decision to postpone the 2020 International Rally, due to
the ongoing Corona virus (Covid-19) outbreak. As we are sure many will appreciate,
this is a decision that has not been taken lightly. This being said, we feel
strongly that the health, safety and well-being of our members must be our top priority.
This year, as was widely advertised, was due to be our 50th anniversary celebration
so we are keen to still mark this event as soon as it is safe to do so. With the
current advice we have decided to reschedule the event to the August Bank Holiday
as long as the guidance from Government allows us to do so. Should the outbreak
continue longer than is currently anticipated we may have to look at this again
but we will be monitoring this very closely and will give everyone as much notice
as possible.
The event will now take place from 27th-31st August 2020 at the same venue,
Leamington Rugby Football Club. This means the clubs AGM will also move accordingly
and the calling notice will be published in the next edition of Sidelights. The AGM
will be held at 4PM on Saturday 29th August 2020. We have moved the date back as
late as we can before the new rugby season begins and keeping to a bank holiday we
hope the extra day allows as many as possible to attend. We appreciate it is a busy
time of the rally season but we have done the best we possibly can.
Raffle
Having taken advice from the the council who grant the lottery licence for our raffle,
they assure us that moving the date in this exceptional circumstance is fine as long
as we inform our members. The new time and date for the draw will be Sunday 30th
August 2020 at 4pm at the Leamington Rugby Football Club, Kenilworth Rd, Blackdown,
Leamington Spa. CV32 6RG
We would like to thank everyone for their continued support for the rally and look
forward to seeing as many of you that can make the new date. Refunds for anyone who
has already booked but cannot attend the new date are available, either in full or
in part.
Please email rally@austina30a35ownersclub.co.uk
