It looks like the target for vaccinating over 50’s is May and if the current rate of vaccinations continues, theoretically the whole population could be vaccinated by the end of June.

However, that does not factor in second doses and the fact that although the Government have ordered enough, we still have to receive them. The EU may have something to say about that! Realistically it will probably be Autumn before everyone is fully immunised and things start getting back to normal.

What is clear is that the normal NW Rally date in May is highly unlikely to go ahead, and we are unable to plan anything until the Government announces that events can take place.

We have provisionally pencilled in the Summer Bank holiday weekend 27-29th August 2021, however in the current climate this is subject to change, so please do not book any non-refundable hotels etc. Updates will follow when available.

cheers,
Dave, Simon & Tony

My thoughts are if most people have had their second jab, then it will be safe to go ahead.

Excellent news, that date works for me, now where's that needle?

There's a boating / yachting thing on that weekend so get booked if you're going !

I'm surprised this week end was picked...... there's usually a fair contingent of Triple lads at the Classic TT and this is the main week end.....has no one booked to go there this year...i know i have...

Yep. Booked up for Wednesday of practice week til end of race week.

Sorry Al, but we have to pick a date and learnt a long time ago that we can't please everyone, so we just do what is best for the rally. Our normal date in May falls between NW200 and TT practice week and is usually a BSB weekend, someone always complains that it doesn't work for them. This date works well for us as it is a bank holiday weekend, like our May date.

There is no guarantee that the Manx will go ahead. A final decision on whether it will take place will be made in March and my feeling is that they won't chance it and cancel, like they have done with the TT. I hope that I am wrong.

IOM off so yippee. It's in diary

You'll be missed

Gary T

you will miss me too but my mother who is now 95 years old is in VGC mental and physicly.
Even if she got these two doses and me too, am very careful
To say nothing about father and mother in law of my lovely girl who are 91 and 86 years old and two doses too.
Don't go outside this year excepted Monaco for work.
My daughter is living in Bruxel, Belguium, haven't see her since 2019.

This weekend works great for me too. Will wait before booking any hotels.

So who from the south is going and can do me a favour and take the Brian McOwen trophy up for me, no way am I posting it, we can't make the rally this year unfortunately.

Orville engraved on it for the 3 years I've had it

I could pick it

The trophy has been safely delivered to the vicar, and is now in his capable hands.

Let's hope he doesn't ebay it before the rally

Thanks Ali
