Dear Members
We know how much you are looking
forward to being back at Burghley this year. It has become something of an RREC
pilgrimage, to travel to this delightful setting in Lincolnshire and to park
our magnificent cars in the grounds of one of the largest and grandest
surviving houses of the sixteenth century.
Many of us have been watching the news keenly for hopeful signs that
restrictions might allow us to gather again at Burghley. Some of you will have
been disheartened that other major motoring events in May and June have already
been cancelled.
So, we wanted to give you as much information as we can in terms of our plans.
None of us can know the guidelines which will be in place in June, but we can
be certain that life will not have returned to ‘normal’. At the very least,
restrictions and social distancing will still be in place.
It won’t be possible therefore to plan and stage an Annual Rally Weekend with
trade stalls and judging in 2021. However, we are doing everything possible to
provide a one-day event – The RREC Members’ Day -
on Sunday 27 June at Burghley House, which in style will look and feel
like the hugely popular North and South of England Rallies. For 2021, this will
provide a suite of Rallies in England, covering the North (Harewood House), Midlands
(Burghley) and South (Stansted House). So, make sure you plan your picnic
hampers and put the dates in your diaries to join us at these fabulous
settings.
To be COVID secure, the Members’ Day will be limited to 250 Rolls-Royce and
Bentley cars. We would love our Continental members to join us at Burghley and
will keep an allocation of tickets just in case travel corridors open up in
time for June. Places will be allotted on a first come, first served basis and
only those cars which are pre-booked will gain entry on the day.
The
cost will be £25 per car. All of our plans are subject to the prevailing
Government guidelines. If these prevent Burghley 2021 taking place, we will
refund your rally fee in full. Please click the link below to book your ticket.
All bookings will be handled online via Eventbrite.
So, to make sure of your place at Burghley, book your ticket now!
