        the Rally? This decision is NOT up to the Ulysses Club as the
        National Committee, the Organising committee and members
        must comply with State restrictions and regulations in place   Blue Knowles
        at the time of the Rally. As soon as we know what these
        restrictions and regulations are we will advise the membership.
                                                              #33140
        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
        6HFXULW\  VWD໤ IRU WKH GD\  H[WUD IHQFLQJ WR VHFXUH WKH PHPEHUV
        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.
