OLDTIMER RALLY 2019 Bank Holiday Mon 26 August www.grand-uk.com/oldtimer CHAIRMAN SECRETARY Michael Stainer Mrs Eileen Watling The Grand Lynsted Cottage The Leas Farthing Common Folkestone Lyminge CT20 2XL UK CT18 8DH UK +44 (0)1303 222 200 +44 (0)1303 863 509 [email protected] [email protected] Welcome to sunny Folkestone! As entries closed for this year’s rally, the forecast was for the hottest late August Bank Holiday ever! As our rally, since the earliest days - 1896 - has always been at this time of the year it could be the best rally weather we’ve ever had, if not too hot! Our ‘Grand Oldtimer Car Club’, meeting on the second Wednesday of the month at The Grand, now has 85 members, with 10-15 coming to the monthly meets and a group attending many of the car rallies principally in Kent during the summer season; this year we also had an airshow again on 30 June featuring a half hour Red Arrows display with an impromptu car rally on The Leas, and a spectacularly large crowd. The club has provided the judges for today’s event; we do, however, rely on you and our visitors to vote for the car you would most like to take home with you - voting slips are available from HQ at the top of The Grand’s Palm Court steps from 2pm, with the final count being made just before the prize giving at 3.30pm. An innovation last year was a better public address system, provided locally by Alex Savage who set up on his own here and has already acquired some prestigious jobs. This includes a roving microphone facility, which will enable commentary to be given from anywhere on the rally site. So between 2.30 and 3.30 our commentator Paul Mill of the Darling Buds of May rally fame will be roving the rally site to talk to participants about their cars, and for the Prizegiving from 3.30pm will locate the winners and deliver the prizes with our guests of honour - so we thank the Chairman of Folkestone & Hythe District Council Cllr Ann Berry, assisted by Folkestone Town Mayor Cllr Jackie Meade, in advance for what is to be an energetic double act. As ever, we are greatly indebted to Eileen Watling, the rally secretary, who has dealt with all the entries and resulting paperwork. She is, regrettably, housebound looking after her husband Alfie who nowadays is bedbound. This year your chairman’s daughters Henriette & Julianna are masterminding the arrival arrangements, assisted by a small team of Oldtimer members and The Grand staff. Folkestone Town Council has traditionally contributed towards the cost of the prizes and plaques; we also thank Folkestone & Hythe District Council which maintains The Leas with its finely mown grass, the police who permit the road closure, Kent County Council for allowing the display of our posters around the district - and not least a thank you to KMFM that sponsors us with both press and radio coverage.
