The organisers are pleased to announce that the level of interest for this year?s event has exceeded expectation and even although the event is four months away, entries have now passed the half way mark.

In order to ensure that you get an entry for the event it is important that your entry and payment is sent off in a timely manner. With a limit of 50 entries for this year?s event we wouldn?t want you to miss what will certainly be another great event, with over 100 miles of competitive stages. The route builders are already hard at work on this year?s route and are certainly making maximum use of the venue and its all encompassing landscape; think the phrase being used is ?something for everyone?

Hi everyone,

Entries for this years event are progressing very well. With three and a half months to the event, we now only have 16 entries left. Who will get one of the final 16 and become one of this years 50 entrants? Well that is anyone?s guess!

I can tell you that our Entries Secretary having checked over the entry list from the 2009 event, has noticed that 25 of the entrants from last years event are still to enter the 2010 event.

Now for those of you who are still undecided about entering the event or are simply waiting to see if your vehicle will survive events in the run up to this years Scottish Borders Hill Rally, then the best advice is to get your entry in now, with only sixteen entries left then you don?t want to be disappointed.

I can also tell you, that last year we ran a reserve list. Had the people at the start of the reserve list brought their vehicles to the event, they would have got an entry as others had dropped out. We will again run a reserve list for this year?s event.

Things to remember about this year?s event:

The organising team are working hard to put on another great Scottish Borders Hill Rally.

The Stage Team are in the middle of putting the final touches and variations to the stages.

We all want to see you and your machinery at the event.

The landowners have built a large new service area.

The organisers are looking at promoting the event to a wider audience and putting in dedicated spectator areas, so more exposure for your sponsors.

Were hoping to get BBC Alba along to film the event.


So the important point to note is that with only 16 entries left and the entries list is changing daily, IF YOU WANT TO PLAY YOU NEED TO GET YOUR ENTRY IN.

Colin would it be worthwhile bring the slroc club shop along?

John, 

I dont think that this would work as the Hill Rally Club have plans for event merchandise to be available at the event. I will however ask the question at the next organisers meeting and get back to you.

Regards, Colin.

The Scottish Borders Hill Rally
Saturday the 20th & Sunday the 21St November 2010


Dear Motorsport Enthusiast,

You should all know by now that the Scottish Hill Rally Club is running the Scottish Borders Hill Rally on the 20th & 21st November 2010, at the same venue as the successful 2009 event, The Forrest Estate, St Johns Town of Dalry, New Galloway.

Some of you will be familiar with the venue as it has played host to the 2009 Scottish Borders Hill Rally, The Scottish Cross Country Championship back in June, the British Cross Country Championship also in June, has also hosted numerous rally test days and the Solway Coast Rally. The venue has certainly got a motorsport pedigree that we can all enjoy.

The 2010 Borders Hill Rally will see has again enjoyed a sell out with the competitors, at this early point in the run up to the event we have 50 entries received A FULL ENTRY! As last year we are running a reserve list.

So if you want to see some of the best off road motorsport action in the UK and almost certainly a wide variety of high spec cross country racing vehicle then the 2010 Borders Hill Rally is the place to be in November for what will almost certainly be one of the hotly contested events of the year.

The organising team took on board the interest of last year?s event and worked with the landowners to see how we can improve the event further. To this end we have looked at the stages and made subtle changes, we looked at the running order of the stages, we looked at the service area and made it bigger, and in fact it?s been moved to give more flat unobstructed space.

This year we are offering competitors Sixteen stages over two days, comprising some 100 miles and with minimal liaison miles not on public roads (No road tax or mot needed)

Full details will be available on the club website: www.scottish-hillrally.co.uk

As ever with an event of this nature, the Scottish Hill Rally Club need help to staff the event. Some of you have already have jobs on the event, a lot of you do not. Please come out and support the event, helping to make 2010 Scottish Borders Hill Rally a great success.



There are numerous jobs that need filling:

Instage Marshals,
Start and Finish Marshals
Radio Marshals.
Spectator Area Marshals.
In Stage Specialist Recovery Vehicles.
Setting Up Team.

We would welcome help from all whether experienced or not, as we can give training on the weekend or pair you up with an experienced marshal.

Remember due to the nature of the event it not always necessary to have a 4x4 vehicle to help at this event, we have many on and off course positions that can be accessed by a road vehicle.

The venue is located here: http://www.multimap.com/s/MU8GgLdC

Free Camping is available with Toilet facilities available at the Venue.

P.s Spread the word, whether it?s to potential Competitors or Marshals, please tell everyone what a great event the club is putting on.

Hi everyone,

With only 4 weeks to go, things are progressing well. Were all very pleased with the enthusiasm that is being shown for the event.

I am still recruiting marshals for the event and in particular for the Scottish Land Rover Club sponsored stages, so would welcome hearing from more SLROC members who would be interested in making sure that the club stages are the best of the event.

There's no need to be an experienced marshal to come and help. We can show you before hand whats required and certainly there will be jobs that a whole family or groups could do.

If you can help please let me know colin.rodger@virgin.net or mobile 07767726075

Owing to a date change, we now have a GRR planned for the 21st Nov.( Date was changed after this thread started).
Geoff

I'm sure that the green road run regulars will not worry about the dates clash (and I suspect that watching cars won't be a big attraction anyway), however it would be good to see a health support from the club, cheering on club members who are taking on some of the best drivers in the UK.....

I am looking after the service Area at the Borders Hillrally, and I am seeking marshalls for the service area, as I have 3 time controls to be manned aswell as a regroup at some stage. If anyone is interested can you please get in touch with me by either calling 07515789100 or emailing me on coilantogle@gmail.com.
