Taurus Road Rally

Taurus Road Rally 2024, News Bulletin 1 (29th September 2023):- The Taurus Road rally for March 2024 is already in the planning phase, The initial route is being drafted ready for submission to the relevant RLO, before a full preliminary recce sometime in October/November. The route is being planned on OS maps 105/100/101/106 and will; be substantially longer than this year's rally, at some 150miles (at the moment). All being well it will be a dual permit event catering for all levels of ability. It is anticipated that, due to ill health, the rally will have a new Clerk of the Course when it returns. We have learnt a substantial amount from last year's event and with the encouragement of competitors we are ploughing on with the planning between now and March. The date for your shiny new 2024 diaries and calendars is 29th / 30th April so we will be running at the same time as the clocks go forwards!!

Now that should be interesting!

A prizegiving was held at DLMC on Friday 25th August where a number of awards were handed out following the conclusion of the first Taurus Half Night Rally held in April.
It was nice to see so many people in attendance on Friday and a good night was had by all, with the organisers laying on a small buffet by way of thanks to competitors, the organising team, the marshals and the general management committee of the Club.
It was announced that plans are afoot to return again in 2024 with a decision to be made on the date and format for next year at an events a sub committee meeting next Friday 1st September. So please keep watching our social media pages for regular updates.

Event Update.

The organising committee for the above event would like to thank everyone who came along to this the first of what we hope will many other navigational rallies of this format. We acknowledge that in our first year we had some organisational issues, but following a frank meeting on the 23rd May we have addressed these issues for future. If you want to come along next year then the date will be announced shortly. The event next year will see a substantial change to the organisation committee with at least new Clerk of the Course who is stepping down due to ill health. So thank you again for turning out and for all the feedback which we have received to turn this event into a first class event for everyone to enjoy. We hope to see you all again next year.
