Hi all, are there any plans in the pipeline for a 2021 National Rally?
The 2021 Mudgee NatRally was cancelled due to Covid-19 and the surrounding travel and other uncertainties, so I think we will all need to make do with our local RTE's for the rest of this year. I guess we're all waiting to see what 2022 has to offer for a NatRally. 
It's really hard to plan until the vaccine roll out is almost complete.
With the end of March 4 million target missed by 3.5 million, its going to be a long time before anyone can plan with confidence.

We do have six to eight months left in 2021, plenty of time for a National get together. Something can be planned, if it can't go ahead due to COVID (or any other reason), plans can be abandoned (like what happened twice with Mudgee), and some like minded (some may say fool hardy) members can still meet for an RTE.
A get together does not have to have all of the flair (registration, awards, badge, T-shirt, formal dinner, guest speaker, etc ..) normally associated with a NatRally, just a date, a destination and a group booking for dinner at a local pub or club.
If numbers are to be maximsed:
- The destination would need to have as few as possible State Border crossings, the State that fits this is NSW
- Reasonable travel distance / times to suit as many members as possible, Bourke seems to fit
- Plenty of accommodation and eating options, Bourke seems to fit.
Re. T-shirts and badges, these could be ordered (and paid for) by attendees and delivered after the event.
If anyone else is interested, let me know and I'll make a few enquiries.
