I really don't know whether to bother with this rally or not, if I am totally honest. If the weather is good, I may well be tempted to have a day out along the coast, but if not, I won't.

I shadow the comments by many above that this rally is generally average, if not poor due to the lack of space provided. I think that the NEBPT do an excellent job putting on the rallies, however, they are starting to become extremely repetitive which is why I think myself and others are now failing to turn up.

In my opinion, the turnout at rallies in recent years has fell dramatically, and the same vehicles turn up each year. MetroCentre in my opinion was very poor, and that is the reason I did not attend Durham Rally.

As I think Adrian has suggested in the past, new blood is needed at these rallies and maybe some sort of change is needed, which will entice more people to head along and engage in the events.

I don't want to sound cheeky here, but the majority of people I see who run the rallies are of a older generation, and maybe they don't see that a change is needed, or indeed want that change. I have tried a few times to engage with these people, and give them a few decisions but I find them awfully snappy and quite miserable, which is a shame really.
