Probaly mid December at the earliest. We kept a short notice list for people who could get to the hospital within an hour. If you can do that it’d be worth mentioning because most people are no shows or cancel appointments at the very last minute on the day Makes it very difficult to use the appt for someone else. The short notice patients are like gold dust - no wasting of resources and operation dates etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't bother getting a ticket now so far i haven't failed to pick up a ticket someones selling just before the event or on the day. The Friday night is a good night in a pub so warm and dry if i don't get a ticket i could do the two nights there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 23 November 1961 issue of The Motor Cycle carried an article by George Wilson in which he asked, "Can such a dream be realised in this country - a rally for super enthusiasts only, and so organised that by its very nature, only super enthusiasts would want to join in?... But above all it must be held in the dead of winter when only men who are men would be interested and the softies would stay away" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
