  • Brochure 13057
    CHAIRLADY’S MESSAGE Welcome to our 2018 rally brochure. This is my second year as Chairlady and now that I have got my first year ‘under my belt’ I think we may enjoy this year even more. Simon and I would like to thank you all for the support you have given us throughout our first year. The centre held 35 rallies in 2017 and there was a mixture of venues and activities to choose from. I would like to thank all the Marshals for giving their time in organising and running these rallies for our enjoyment. Rallying is a great social encounter for everyone, young, old and the whole family and South Yorkshire Centre keeps some fine traditions including our Centre Queen and our Carnival Floats of which we are truly proud. The Centre Queen is crowned at our May Day rally and we have 3 carnival rallies at which we enter a Queens float and a South Yorkshire Centre float which in 2018 is themed around ‘Back to School’. So, get those school uniforms on and join in. You will see in this brochure that once again there is a wide variety of rallies to offer. If you are new and aren’t quite sure if rallying is for you give the Rally Marshal or a Committee member a call. I am sure they will answer all your questions and put you at ease. I would like to thank the land owners, site managers and farmers who allow us to use their land and facilities. Please show consideration for their property by noting ‘out of bounds’ areas and follow the centre rally rules with regards to the Red Flag should it be raised.

  • Heritage at Risk East Midlands Em
    APETHORPE HALL Northamptonshire Grade I listed, country house dating from the late 15th century onwards. Following a public enquiry in 2004, the Secretary of State confirmed the Compulsory Purchase Order. English Heritage took possession of the site in September, and urgent works and holding repairs were completed in October 2004. The first phase of repairs is complete and Apethorpe Hall is now for sale. 16 HERITAGE AT RISK EAST MIDLANDS EM 17 HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Since the 1999 baseline register, the total number of Grade I and II* buildings and structural monuments at risk on the East Midlands register has fallen from 161 to 147. In the past year, however, there has been a significant net increase in the number of entries on the regional register. Ten buildings at risk have been added, three of which are in the highest priority category for action; at immediate risk of loss and have no solution agreed.With two exceptions, no solution is yet in place for any of the new entries. Five buildings on last year’s regional register have also been upgraded in their level of risk.This year, for the first time, the East Midlands register includes one registered battlefield at risk. Only three buildings at risk have been removed from the register, although ten have seen an improvement in condition.The first phase of repairs to the Grade I listed Apethorpe Hall, Northamptonshire is now complete and the estate has been offered for sale. Some of the Region’s entries are among the most intractable cases on the register.

In Bassetlaw, however, the first sign that spring is just around the corner is heralded by the annual Hodscock Snowdrop Festival. This event attracts visitors from far and wide to see the millions of snowdrops in fragrant winter borders. The height of summer is the time when musical, artistic and cultural activities are staged throughout the district and the rural villages of Bassetlaw abound with summer festivities. Many residents open their gardens to the public and stage spectacular village events. A leisurely walk along the Chesterfield Canal is probably one of the best ways to enjoy a long summer evening, stopping to sample the delights of one the many picturesque pubs along the way. As evenings draw in and the leaves turn to gold, the stunning autumnal displays seen in Clumber Park can easily rival those of America’s New England states.
