Rally lovers prepare for Easter in Country jaunt

-

PREPARATIO­NS for an Easter in the Country rally are motoring along, according to the members of the Roma Historical Motor Club.

With just a few weeks to go until the engines start, organisers Robyn Dawes and Kerry Culverhous­e are preparing rally bags for participan­ts, with Origin, on behalf of major sponsor Australia Pacific LNG, donating caps, water bottles and pens to be included.

Registrati­on will be held on the Friday, followed by the display of local and visiting cars in the Easter parade on Saturday.

The presentati­on dinner on the Sunday evening will be following a carless gymkhana, poker checkpoint run, observatio­n walk and a gymkhana for vehicles.

Public viewing will be open for a few hours at the council car park, with additional viewing times at the junior cricket grounds over the weekend.

The observatio­n run and gymkhana for vehicles will be held in Surat on the Sunday.

Ms Dawes and Ms Culverhous­e said there was still more room for entries in the rally.

The jaunt was held every two years, and they encouraged enthusiast­s to get their entries in soon.

Events for Roma’s Easter in the Country begin on Thursday, April 17 and run through until Easter Monday on April 21.
