Hi BruceMarie and I have attended the past 23 rallies and have booked for the Nelson Rally.For curiosities sake I thought I would list the location of each of those rallies against the year.  So with a bit of head scratching and finally locating the last of my rally badges I have been able to put a list together.It then occurred to me that it might be nice to list all the rallies since the BMWOR was formed.  It would be impossible for me to do this by myself as I only joined the register in 1990.  I understand that Peter now has the archives.  I would guess that it would be possible to look through old newsletters.I thought it might be nice if longer serving members could fill in the gaps, perhaps ones that had actually attended the earlier rallies.Would it be possible for you to do something with this email and attachment on the website so we can fill in the gaps between 1975 and 1991?Thanks and regardsNorm[hr]Short of going down to Tibsy's and looking through the archives, I can't help. I only go back to about the turn of the century. Can anybody fill some of the gaps?

Thank you, kind Sir.That was a Bwucie typo, not a Norman mistake. I have edited accordingly. I wouldn't know, 'cos I don't do rallies (or Christmas - just come back from the supermarket, feeling very Grinch.)

No worries.Also, 2002 was in Picton and 2003 was in Turangi. 2004 was another at Flock Hill.I joined in 1995, so can't go much further back then that.

Dude!Norman will think you are a rock god! Is Hamner Springs anywhere near Hanmer Springs? Just as well there hasn't been a rally at Feilding yet: never mind your i before e except after c for the good people of Feilding. Spell checks take no account of NZ placenames, even the brand new English NZ one I just installed ten minutes ago.Computer's working OK now, is it?
