I'm glad we could get something organised at Arriva to bring some vehicles, thankfully we seemed to generate a bit of interest with our mini display. Thanks should go to management who allowed us to bring 4 vehicles today, first time I believe?
It was great to see the amount of vehicles there today, nice to see more independents bringing vehicles... the Perryman's Holy Island Solo was a highlight for me, they've done a great job with that!
I particularly enjoyed the little line ups of the Geminis and then the eco-green vehicles and thanks to the Go North East drivers/management who wanted us involved too
Hopefully next years will be even better!

Arriva have been at previous rallies albeit not for the last five years. The picture in the link provided is taken from a set detailing the 2008 rally: https://www.flickr.com/photos/emdjt42/34...6788321151

Northumbria used to be regular participants in these rallies too. They even used to provide a bouncy castle for the kids to play. Now those were the days!
