Centenary question

[Bob Olive]

This is all very sad.

My thoughts, for what worth, are with the many willing volunteers who have given very freely of their time and talents over the last two years or so to organise this mammoth event ( which will probably prove to be unmatched by any other marque) and  who must be wondering “Why do we bother.”.

They will continue with their time-consuming responsibilities throughout the Rally, ensuring that we all have a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining time, free of the duties which will restrict their Rally activities and enjoyment.

If I were a volunteer I think all this last minute questioning of ‘this possibility’ and ‘that option’ would leave me with a sour taste in my mouth, and inevitably spoil the whole Rally for me.

I think the current phrase is ‘Let’s give a big shout-out ‘ to the whole of the organising committee - they deserve nothing but our thanks.

So, on behalf of all us, a huge THANK YOU - TO ALL OF YOU.
