Just a brief advance note about the 2017 National Rally. As already indicated this will be from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th June. It will be based in Aberfoyle in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
Full details, including a booking form, will be in the Jan/Feb copy of Floating Power which should be with members before the end of December. Please note that the Club has an option on 35 rooms at the Rally hotel, held until 31st January and there is no guarantee that further rooms will be available. Whilst some members may prefer to camp or seek other accommodation, there is a maximum number limit for some of the visits planned as part of the Rally, particularly on the all important distillery tour and at the final gathering at the only privately owned castle on Loch Lomond.
So if you are intending to come to the Rally in what is an amazingly beautiful part of Scotland please return your booking form as soon as possible, certainly not later than 31st Jan to take advantage of the Early Bird Offer.
