18TH MAY 2008

Ideal weather brought record crowds and exhibitors to the 15th Vintage Vehicle Rally which was held in Weston Road, Aston Clinton.  Over 900 exhibitors brought their preserved vehicles etc which included cars from 1924 to 1988.  Also on display were light and heavy commercial vehicles, tractors, stationary engines, motorcycles, emergency and military vehicles.  An autojumble was in attendance as well as a large array of trade stands.  Over 14 vintage vehicle clubs supported the event. 

Catering stands, a licensed bar and children's attractions all helped towards making it a fantastic family event.

There was a record attendance and the usual car parking area was soon filled.  Thanks to Aylesbury Rugby Club an extra area was provided for the overflow. 

The Rally is the main fundraising event of the Game Club Charity which supports good causes which are not under the umbrella of a national charity. 

This year's event was something special as The Game Club presented a brand new Ford Transit van, supplied by Ann of Perry's Van Centre, Gatehouse Way, Aylesbury, to the Iain Rennie Hospice at Home.  This was by far the largest single donation that the club had ever given.  The vehicle was handed over officially to Mrs Maddie Blackburn, Chief Executive, Mr Robert Breakwell, Director of Appeals and Communications and Mrs Lesley Blencowe, Head of Retail and Trading of Iain Rennie  by Mr David Heasman, Chairman of the Game Club Charity.  The Mayor of Tring, Cllr Mike James was there to assist in the ceremony.

Cllr Netta Glover, the Chairman of Aylesbury Vale District Council assisted in the judging and chose the winner of the AVDC's Cup and presented the prizes to the winners and highly commended in each of the classes in the show.  Cllr Ranjula Takodra, Deputy Mayor presented the Mayor of Aylesbury Town Trophy.

This event is always held on the third Sunday in May and the organisers are already planning next year's event.
From 2008 we will add an annual rally report here
17th May 2009

This annual event took place for the sixteenth time on Sunday May 17th 2009.  The weather was not perfect due to a heavy shower about lunchtime.  This, however, did not prevent a large number of exhibitors attending.  There were present on the site 4 steam engines, 26 military vehicles, 44 commercials, 32 tractors, 58 motorcycles, 603 cars, which were split into various groups according to age and 82 other entries, which included buses, coaches, stationary engine and emergency vehicles.  Approximately 100 late entries arrived on the day.

The usual and varied trade stands were in attendance as usual together with a variety of catering facilities, a dog show, helicopter rides and attractions for children.  A well-stocked auto-jumble was also present.

All the different classes were judged by our band of hard-working judges who indicated their choice by placing a rosette on the vehicle which they deemed to be the best in that class.  Some classes qualified for a highly commended rosette as well.  The prizes were presented at around 4pm.  As usual we had the pleasure of the company of the Chairman of Aylesbury Vale District Council, who toured the show and selected a vehicle of her choice for the Chairman's Cup.  She also presented the trophies to the class winners.

All in all a wonderful and varied family day out which, in spite of the weather, achieved a respectable profit, which is used to support local good causes and to assist local people in difficulties.
2010 RALLY REPORT


This was another very successful event, in spite of the fact that just around lunchtime it started to rain quite heavily.  This did not appear to effect the number of members of the public who visited the site, probably because most of them came before the rain started. 

As usual the number of exhibitors supporting the show was as good as ever, in fact for the first time the number of exhibitors exceeded 1000 (1003).  The mix of exhibits was much the same as usual, including excellent displays of cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles, tractors, stationary engines, emergency vehicles and three steam exhibits. 

As usual, the Chairman of Aylesbury Vale District Council attended the show and was shown round as many exhibits as possible and as is usual selected one of her choosing for the President's Cup.  Aylesbury Town Council was represented by the Mayor, Councillor Webster, who likewise chose the winner for the Mayor of Aylesbury Town Cup.  The prizegiving took place whilst it was raining, which has prompted us to put in place a different arrangement this year, where the prizegiving can take place under cover should inclement weather intervene.

A special presentation took place of a Guide Dog Puppy.  This was presented (not literally) to Mr Mick Bowers who was instrumental in starting and organising the rally for the first seven years of its existence.  Mick had been actively involved in raising money for Guide Dogs and was in fact half way through raising the money for his 15th dog.  Ours, presented in his name, will add one more to his total.  Needless to say, this had to be arranged long before the rally and was kept secret from Mick Bowers.  The dog is suitably named "Mickey".

The rally itself is the principal fund-raising event for the Game Club Charity, which donates money to people and good causes of all kinds.  In connection with this, during the year 2010 £18,709 was given to satisfy grants which had been requested from various quarters.  An exact breakdown can be supplied on request. 

Work and preparation for the 2011 event is well underway.
