The 2018 National Rally will be held at De Aston School in Market Rasen, a small market town on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. With a mention in the Domesday Book of 1086, Market Rasen has had a market since the 1300s. It has the distinction of having the only racecourse in Lincolnshire and is on National Cycle Route 1. Nearby is Middle Rasen and West Rasen, the latter having a 3-arched packhorse bridge dating back to the 14th century. The village of Tealby, near Market Rasen is often described as 'the prettiest village in Lincolnshire'. The Oldest Thatched Pub in Lincolnshire, The King's Head, was built in 1367.
This time, there is only camping accommodation which will be on the sports field. Showers and toilets are within the school, apart from overnight when portaloos will be provided around the campsite. Electric hook-ups will be available, but only on a weekly basis as all the equipment will have to be hired. You will require RCD protection in your vans and motorhomes, which are now normally installed.
Planning for evening events is at an early stage, but as a minimum there will be: welcome drinks, quiz night, tandem games, bring and buy sale, a bar in the marquee each evening and a barn dance on the last night. More ideas are welcome - please let us know and we will try to organise them.
