The National is at Belvoir Castle this year from the 22 to 26 May. There will be live music, family fun and activities, competitions, trade stalls and great food as well as an on site bar. 

Is anyone planning on going this year? if so what are you most looking forward to?

We usually go to The National Rally, making the the middle of a longer trip. This year it seemed even more of a good idea with The Caravan and Camping Club having scrapped their equivalent event.

However, the four days evening entertainment is a big part of the attraction for us and this year's selection does not seem up to the standard of past years so it throws the whole expedition into doubt.  Stays before and after are booked but these can be cancelled of course, and we could then spend the four weeks going somewhere else altogether.

Sorry to hear that Navigateur and we hope that you do come to visit us at the National.

The live music and evening shows this year include:

Bye Bye Baby on Friday 22 May. A tribute to the musical ‘Jersey Boys’ and the music of ‘Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons’. 

The Bootleg Beatles on Saturday 23 May. They are the first Beatles tribute band to hit the marketplace and are still up there as the number one tribute to The Beatles worldwide. 

The Bowie Collection on Sunday 24 May. Featuring the finest work of David Bowie. This group of rock musicians, artists and performers recreate Bowie’s most recordings against a spellbinding backdrop of lights and visual magic.

And finally on Sunday 25 May we have the Club's very own concert band and singers performing famous soundtracks from movies. smile

The issue i have Ro, is there is no shortcut or information on the categories in the header bars above like years in the past.I cannot remember what category it was under though.Also it appears a real pain to find information on pre and post rallies unlike years previously.

Just seems very low key at the moment.

Given the current situation I would hope it gets rearranged or cancelled.

I can see it being a huge financial loss whatever they choose to do, which will of course have to be covered by all members in either increased membership fees or larger than usual increases in site charges.
