Rallies on the East Coast

The East Coast Regional Secretary is Dave Jennings. If you have any questions about the rally programme,   please  email  the   Regional Secretaries, specifying your question concerns the East Coast.

 Further information on each suggested rally will be placed in the Forum's East Coast Section ​or distributed by email prior to the rally, which may involve a change of plan  (especially in the case of adverse weather). ​​ So if you are interested in attending any of these rallies, please contact Dave Jennings  by email or via  the Forum so he can include you in an email list.
