I highly doubt that. In fact I wouldn't even call it the best rally thats on that weekend. I much prefer the relaxed atmosphere at Cromford. And South Cerney is also meant to be an excellent rally that gets a lot more steam than Pickering.


Pickering isn't all its made out to be. When it comes to big rallies, give me Lincoln & Welland any day, both are much better rallies, with a much better layout & site and none of the trouble that Pickering gets. They both also has the advantage of been run by a small club to raise money for chairty, as opposed to somebody out to make themselves some money.

But will it be remembered for the right reasons?
So of us have bad memories of not too long ago. Lots of exhibits that have not been seen at Pickering before perhaps, but then again the are lots of exhibits that will not be going this year..........

Unlikely to be the best rally of the year, unless you are only going to it and no others.

their are no details on web site about that is on at Pickering this year.
I went every year for at least 10 years with caravan all ways had a good time.
Never had any trouble always thought it was good value for money.
Did not have the time or cash to travel further from Durham.
