The South East Rover Rally 2020


The South East Rover Rally 2020 - Update April 2020 Coronavirus (COVID-19):

You will all be aware of the current situation and Government advice. I have been in contact with our venue for the 2020 event and due to the current situation they are closed to the public until the 1st of May. They say they will be constantly monitoring and will review the situation as matters progress. Clearly this situation is developing and whilst we are not sure of where we will be by June 14th, it is currently looking unlikely that this event will be held.

I will contact the venue again in late April and hope to be in a position by early May to make a decision and notify you all of that decision at that time.( via E-mail; See below if you need to contact me)

It is nice to think that there may be a lifting of restrictions and the opportunity to go out for such an enjoyable occasion. So I will delay the final decision to the latest possible date …just in-case matters improve.


In the circumstances the event cannot take place on this date, I propose to postpone the whole event until 2021 when we will proceed on the similar weekend in June 2021 at the same venue.

If you have already entered you will have two choices:-

1. Advise me of your entry details and seek a refund (electronic payments would be easiest)

2. Advise me of your entry details and seek your entry is moved to the 2021 date (payment can stay with the SERR account until we know details in 2021).

I do not need your decision now. if you are on my e-mail list, I will send again in early May and I will arrange whatever is required by the circumstances at that time.

If you are not on my e-mail list and have already entered you can check with me (via E-mail preferably) in May to see what is happening, those without e-mail can either telephone, or post any response they need to make.


In the meantime,

Keep polishing your lovely cars and stay safe.

Kindest regards

Ray

By arrangement you will be able to purchase Leonardslee picnics to enjoy by your car. We will be immediately next to the Café with 18 internal tables and many more in the courtyard.

The Café which is right next to our area, also serves breakfast from 9 to 11 and other items from 11 to 4pm; all of which may be consumed by your car or at their tables. If you really want to make a high-class day of it you might like to book a “fine-dining” table in the ‘Restaurant Interlude’ for the evening, or Afternoon Tea at Leonardslee House (please see their website for details & reservations).Garden tours should be available on the day at £5pp; Pre-Booking Only.

Looking forward to it and summer bring on the shorts weather!

Could quite fancy that, depends if I’ve got mine back on the road by then though, failing that I could take my ZT260 if that qualifies as a Rover

The South East Rover Rally 2020 is cancelled

I am sure this will be no surprise to you but in the current circumstances of the Covid 19 coronavirus restrictions; The South East Rover Rally 2020 is cancelled.

I had been holding from making a formal announcement as the government have been updating on a daily basis and there seemed some hope that the restrictions might be lifted by June. However at this stage and following contact with the venue it seems most likely that we will not be in a position to proceed by 14th June.

I propose to hold the 2021 SERR at the ‘2020 booked venue’ on a similar weekend in June 2021

I therefore propose to give two options to those who have already booked and paid.
1. I send your entry money back and cancel your entry
2. I hold your entry money and use it for the event in 2021. (Usual processing will take place in 2021)

Note: If you paid by cheque through the post, some cheques were held pending these restrictions. All cheques held and not processed will be destroyed. If you have not received any entry your cheque should not have been processed. Any anomalies please let me know.

There have been almost no costs in preparing for this event, as you know this is run by P5 Club volunteers. So there is no financial loss suffered by the organiser at this stage. The choice of getting a refund or holding for the 2021 event is solely as a convenience to you. If seeking a refund, please supply me with your banking details so I can make a direct payment electronically from the SERR account.

If you have an e-mail address and are not receiving e-mail directly from me about this event please send (via e-mail -Details in the P5 Club magazine) to me and I will place your e-mail address in my contact list. If the ability arises to hold some form of Rover event later in the year, I can e-mail all contacts and advise accordingly. Perhaps this may be no more than an impromptu gathering in a nice location one Sunday, when we are back to more normal times.

Currently please enjoy your cars from your own lockdown locations and I hope to see some very well polished cars later in the year!

Kindest Regards
Ray Pickett (South East Rover Rally organiser)
