2009 RALLY - No 27
2009 badge  Last years rally was a wee (peerie) bit wet and we all got Duckin Drookit!!

Incredible attendance at the 2009 rally. Must have been one of the busiest. Weather was changeable but gradually improved towards the weekend.
The crack was good, the food was good (you must try Lowrie's chicken pies in a roll), the real ale was excellent.
The event was filmed by Eyeline Media from Aberdeen and will be for a BBC ALBA motoring programme (Air an ratha - or something like that). The programme will be on the Gaelic channel sometime late August 2009 I believe so if you have SKY you can get it or also BBC iPlayer. The programme will be subtitled for all of you who cannot speak Gaelic.

Made a few new friends this year and reacquainted myself with others. Just a shame the Lerwick Carnival and Pier Foy were not on the same weekend this year.

Good points: too many to mention
Bad points:  Northlink need to get their booking system into gear. No carnival. Horrendous Ferry Inn prices for sunday afternoon.
