Rally DaysClub hold their rally days on the fourth Sunday of every month except December which will be held on the first Sunday. The day is intended to provide club members with a social avenue to meet and interact with other club members and to participate in lessons offered by qualified instructors. Our rally day format consists of two one-hour lessons. Generally, the session times available are hourly from 9am till 2pm. Attendance fee for rally is covered in annual fee paid. All members must phone or email to book in to attend a Club rally. Bookings are essential to attend on rally days as we limit the lesson sizes to a maximum of six riders. Details of rally formats are published monthly in the Club Newsletter. Riders are requested to arrive in a timely manner so they are able to commence their lesson when the instructor is ready. Late arrival is disruptive to the class. Please note, all riders are asked to assist either with setting up or packing up requirements for the day.
