I discovered something today to do with fun rallies that has quite concerned me and seems to be at odds with the welcoming and friendly fun 'community'.
I always thought that those wanting to attend a rally could only book once a thread was created live on the forum on which they would say they wanted to go and were then added to the list, however it appears that some organisers allow those already attending a rally to book it for the following year.
Bridlington, for example, wasn't even posted on the forum as it was fully booked likely by the previous year's attendees, it was only when someone started a thread asking about it that other funsters became aware of it being held.
Personally I find this very unfair as it means others don't have the opportunity to book and enjoy the rallies and has got me wondering how many others are done this 'selective' way.
The questions I have which I'd like to get answers to and comments on are:

The questions I have which I'd like to get answers to and comments on are:
- Is it acceptable for MHF/rally organisers to allow this practice?
- Do others think this type of booking 'favoritism' is fair?
- Should rallies only be available for booking once announced on the forum so they are open to all Funsters equally?
