Hello All
I will not be attending the Calke Abbey meeting. However it is a fantastic building,
the grounds are magnificent, great for running & walking also cycling.
I have suggested to Iain that Calke Abbey would make a future Rally venue,
plus it is close to the Donington circuit.
Your thoughts?
Keith
I completely agree, it’s our local NT, less than 15 mins drive away. Regularly visiting for walks etc, they have loads of open space ideally flat to host a rally.
It’s a case of do they want a rally, do they need a rally?
I know they have the occasional open air concerts, mainly evening affairs, so I suppose it depends on the local authorities, traffic management and all that stuff.
They do host public events there (road races etc) but the parking does spill over to the area as you drive up to the main car park, which would most likely have to be used as a rally meet point.
Parking then becomes a problem for the visiting public who want to view Calke Abbey and the MX5 community.
But unless you ask, you never get!!.
