Don't leave it too late

;)
So far 12 entries, don't miss out on a good time.

If you are interested in competing in the rally it is vital that you register by the 31st March 2005.
On the 31st March, all the rooms held at the Pomme d'Or will be released. If you enter after that time accommodation at the 'Pomme' cannot be guaranteed. The Rally Manager will try very hard to get you in but, if there are no rooms available you will have to stay in an alternative hotel.

Bob Pooley of Pooleys books and shops is one of the rally sponsors.

Mike Collett of 'Air Atlantique' fame will be performing with his band on Saturday night, “Intentionally Blank”.

Sign up soon or you might be disappointed.

Hello All,

Don't forget to book before March 31st to guarantee accommodation at the Pomme d'Or Hotel.

You can enter later but a room in the Pomme d'Or will not be guaranteed, last year late entrants stayed in the Merton Hotel (St Helier), a sister hotel owned by Seymour Hotels. It is a family hotel with many facilities including the Island's water park.

You can find it either on the Seymour Hotels site: http://www.seymourhotels.com/ or on the Jersey Tourist board Accommodation site: http://www.jersey.com/Booking/JerseyDirect.ASP where you will find over 80% of the hotels & guest houses and the tourist board's Merton page: http://www.jersey.com/Booking/JerseyDirect.ASP?WCI=BrowseHotelInfo&WCE=57%20%20%20%20Availbody%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20

More people have joined the rally entrants, the competition is hotting up.
