I wouldn’t trust Politicians further than I could throw them.
Wife carrying races are still allowed in Iceland or Norway but over here, Politician throwing is sadly banned as far as I know?

Would the draw be secret or public?
As there would definitely be someone saying the draw was fixed![]()
That's another good point , how do you plan what you are doing in a years time , I don't know what I'll be doing this afternoon yet never mind a years timeIt could be done at the year before rally in front of the assembled Funsters.
Due notice of this would have to be given in advance so those not attending could be in with a chance of attending the following year.
I know 12 months, for some of us of a certain age, is long term planningbut that's the way it seems to be going these days and monies could be paid later as usual.
It would also give those that couldn't attend the following year, the chance to say so and their place could be taken by another draw.![]()

The rallies are so popular someone would soon fill your place and the organisers would refund monies paid if you were ill. If you were a plonker and just didn’t turn up then the money goes to the designated charity.That's another good point , how do you plan what you are doing in a years time , I don't know what I'll be doing this afternoon yet never mind a years time

As your the only one at the rally, you must the organiser?
I think you are supposed to mention it on the forum, or maybe not if your happy?
Are you covered by Jim's insurance etc?![]()
Can you pre book me on your next year rally please.I wouldn't want to attend a rally that would allow people like me to join it...
(Thanks Mr Marx.)

PS. I hold rallies all the time on QMJ... They are arranged for City supporting, Fray Bentos eating, John Smiths drinking, ukulele hating, heavy metal loving folk who don't have dogs.![]()

I think the way Emmit does it grossly unfair, if you advertise to open the booking at a certain time, then all the people who are otherwise engaged at that particular time are effectively out of the running. The most effective way is to just put it on the forum and if you see it you book it. Trying to do fastest finger first means within 1 minute of it going up it’s full.I like the way Emmit does it.
The funsters are given fair warning when a rally booking ability goes live and its up to you to ensure you are able or remember to book it.
This ensures there are no favourites and the event is available to all paid up members to book.
Yes we have missed out on this method but it's still the best method in my honest opinion.
Well we all can't agree on everything can we.I think the way Emmit does it grossly unfair, if you advertise to open the booking at a certain time, then all the people who are otherwise engaged at that particular time are effectively out of the running.

I think the excess places were advertised in the Bridlington BugleI have done a couple of very small meets, both times had requests to ‘please put me down for next year if you do it again’
I think that’s fair , but I am surprised that every single place at Bridlington was taken by an attendee from the previous yearI can only presume ‘spare’ places were then offered to attendees to bring a mate, removing option for new people to book unless a mate is going
It doesn’t bother me, life is chucking bigger issues my way , but for the excess places it looks unfair

Where have they been criticised? They most definitely deserve praise for doing them, of that there is certainly no doubt.Personally I think that the organisers work incredibly hard for nothing but thanks and in most cases for the gratification of knowing they had raised money for charity. These people are few and far between and deserve respect not criticisms.
Why? All it has done is highlight the different ways that organisers do them.Threads like this do nothing to encourage members new or old to organise a rally and in fact probably put existing rallies at risk.![]()
I disagree as I think a standardised way of booking so that rally places were available to all Funsters at the same time would be a much fairer way to do it but that's my view.I have been wondering wether this thread should be shut down as it can be quite divisive, but I think it is useful, Jim has made it clear he is happy for rallies to be organised however the organisers wish, which I think is fair enough.
Most definitely agree with all of this.I do think this thread is useful to get members views, however please make sure you keep your views friendly, the organisers do a fantastic job, and certainly wouldn't want any of those to give up due to hostility.

But is that fair though to those who can't even get to attend some of the popular ones because they are already fully pre-booked the previous year by the attendees?Motorhomefun does not organise rallies. The members do. Rallies are all run by individual Funsters. They are free to invite who they like quietly or publicly. It’s always been that way.
Okey-dokey, your forum, your rules.Just a handful of people put themselves out to run rallies, apart from the obvious safety issues, I’m not going to insist they run them in a particular way.
I wish I could Jim but other commitments and health issues get in the way unfortunately.We need more people to run rallies. If you are interested give me a shout and we can help.
Surely that's illogical? If you can't do it at a pre-advised time, you still would not be able to do it if it goes up with no notice at the same time!I think the way Emmit does it grossly unfair, if you advertise to open the booking at a certain time, then all the people who are otherwise engaged at that particular time are effectively out of the running.

Probably. I expect all the others can only bear one night sharing the same field with him.Does that happen a lot then, Just smiffy …..??![]()
Just depends when it went up, and it wouldn’t be fully booked in 1 minute. How’s that illogical?Surely that's illogical? If you can't do it at a pre-advised time, you still would not be able to do it if it goes up with no notice at the same time!
