I believe there are other attractions there as well.

Sounds like they are turning the corner now, good to see.

To be fair, myself I expected it to be a poor show like the last 2 years since it moved from Meadowhall but it has surprised me today. It was a fair bit busier than the 2 previous rallies at Aldwarke and there were 6 vehicles in attendance from SYTT which everyone was pleased to see after things have started to change. Obviously it will never be as popular as Meadowhall was.

I've just uploaded photos from today's event at Aldwarke on to my Flickr gallery.

Please feel free to take a look if you get a spare five minutes.

It's the first event I've attended at Aldwarke, but it certainly won't be the last.

I didn't get chance to ride all the vehicles on the free shuttle or even spend enough time as the other half was getting bored, but I'll make sure I get chance next time.

Regards,
Darren.

If they took comments on board then things could be better.

A friend on mine from the other side of Yorkshire, asked someone today why they don't advertise the rally much these days, only to be told 'because we don't need to'.

That sounds like they think that people are simply going to keep coming, but how will anyone who hasn't been before, or hasn't known about the event in the past, going to know that the event is on?
