Vintage Rally is latest victim of wet weather

Orkney Vintage Club has confirmed that this year’s annual Vintage Rally, planned for August 9, has been cancelled.

The club has been advised that the condition of the field at the Orkney Auction Mart, where the rally was to be held is — due to continuing bad weather — too wet to be used this year.

The club has expressed its disappointment and apologised to those who planned to enter the event.

However, the club is considering the possibility of having an “informal gathering” of cars or bikes on the tarmac area and road on that day as an alternative. If this is to go ahead, further details will be advertised nearer the time.
