Rally programmes

[David Sims]

I've been trying to pick up a programme from each event the MG S2000 SPORT has contested - either whilst I'm at an event, buying one online, scrounging one off the organisers or occasionally buying them via ebay. To date I have...

2007 Plains Rally
2007 Wales Rally GB
2008 Pirelli Rally - signed by Mark Higgins
2008 Galway International Rally
2008 Circuit of Ireland Rally
2008 Ypres Rally - signed by Mark Higgins
2008 Bohemia Rally

If anybody has spare copies of the ones I have missing - 2007 Rally Ireland, 2008 Donegal Rally, 2008 Border Counties, 2008 Red Dragon Rally, 2008 Jim Clark Rally, 2008 Manx Rally - I would be very intested to add them to the collection.

Here's a photo of the rally programme collection to date, including a couple of stage maps, sticker, road book, and the Chatsworth Rally Show programme that I forgot to mention. Anymore donations would be gratefully accepted...

I'll try and take some new photos of the set over the weekend, and get them uploaded here for you all to see - it makes quite an interesting and colourful collection I must admit.

I've just editted the post above with my recent acquisitions, and have added the 2009 Red Kite Stages to the bottom of the list. I have also been promised material from four of the five rallies that remain to be located, so hopefully if all of these promises come to fruition...

I will also continue to add rallies to the list as the year progresses.

A 2008 Rallye International du Valais programme and foldout route / stage map arrived in the post today - with grateful thanks to the organisers.

I've just discovered that the 2008 ADAC-3-Städte-Rallye and 2009 Red Kite Stages organising teams didn't actually print a 'proper' programme for their respective events, and in October I was sent all the material that the German event printed for spectators anyway. An envelope also arrived yesterday enclosing a load of information regarding the Red Kite Stages, and I have just ordered a 2008 Topaz Donegal International Rally programme from http://www.donegalmotorclub.com/

Almost there...

Trying to generate some new posts, but it's difficult when there's nothing happening!...

...looking at the list of rallies that Peter Stephenson contested in 2009, I realise I now have a handful of programmes missing. Here is the list of the events that he contested last year, and if anyone has a spare copy of either of them, I am more than happy to cover postage costs and cover price if required.

2009 Riponian Stages
2009 Pirelli International Rally
2009 Tour of Hamsterley
2009 Greenerways Rally
2009 Fuchs Rallycross Open C'ship, Rd 5 Blyton
2009 Woodpecker Stages

Many thanks.
