With the uncertainty of Covid restrictions NatCom has decided Ulysses Club Rally Liaison
that there will not be an Open Day at the 2022 National Rally in
Warwick, however we will be considering Open Days for future
National Rallies.
In Regard to Public Open Days for future National Rallies there
are several factors that need to be considered by National Rally
organising Committees. A few of these factors are additional

camping area and additional restrictions for the licenced area if
the public are to enter this area, which in the past has been a
desire of the visitors to the Rally. These items alone can add up
to $2000 which has not historically been covered by the public
attendance numbers.

The budget for the next National Rally is over $250,000, which
means at the current forecast numbers of 1000 attendees the
cost per registrant is approx. $250, this amount is currently
covered by the Registration Fees of $120 and camping fee
of a similar amount. Rally registrants are in fact subsidising
public attendees by a considerable amount for the opportunity
to attend the Public Open day. To say it is a good recruiting
tool is an overstatement as only one or two members have
been recruited by this way in the past. The Traders certainly
would like lots of public to come long and help with their sales
however the numbers of public that attend is minimal and the
traders receive little support from those who have attended
in the past few years. An expensive exercise for the limited
numbers of public that come along.
The old saying “Many hands make light work” it is
one of the most appropriate statements in this case. The Team
for the 2022 National Rally are looking for additional team
members to help to organise the next Rally. If you have some
time to give to this great Club, can you contact Helen Larter via
email ucnr2022director@gmail.com.
