We have worked hard to find a location and format that helps participants minimise costs and make the Rally as affordable as possible. We are also hoping to arrange riding support for our North Island members travelling from Picton to Hanmer Springs, to help reduce the expense of bringing cars across on the ferry.
We intend to keep all Rally information updated on the Jampot website and in the club magazine.
