2011 RALLY - Number 29
Page inserted 22/06/2011
This years badge:
Something to do with a comment made in last years Web Page. At least they spelled the Tod part right (just in time)!
Probably one of the best Dim's for a lot of years, not even saying the last ones have been bad as they have been excellent. I think the weather made it this year apart from the crappy Thursday. Friday was dry and what a beautiful night (see photo's). Saturday was dry, sunny, warm and a cracker of a day. Lots of pink folk after this.
This was the first year the family went since 2005 and Jamie loved it! Louise's first Dim (youngest rallyist) and Joanne's 5th! Book us all in for 2012 please.
No sign of the film crew with Paul Merton that may have turned up but the Dim did feature on STV news again.
Any gripes about this years rally........ NO! Any good points....well... just ask virtually everyone that was there for their opinions? Only bad point was some mindless victimisation against one motorcyclist that attended (burnt flag and other less pleasant stuff). If anyone knows who did this let the committee know (via me if needs be).
New bar layout seemed to work okay and Sonny's beer gets better every year!
As always thanks to the committee for a great do.
Roll on the 30th!!!!!!!!!!!!!
