About the Rally
Join us at Stafford Boat Club. This weekend is all about taking it easy: enjoy the peaceful canal side setting, friendly atmosphere, and the chance to unwind at your own pace. There are no planned activities, so you can simply relax, explore the area, or spend time with fellow ralliers.
The clubhouse is expected to be open during the weekend, offering a paid bar, perfect for a sociable drink, a catch-up with friends, or simply enjoying the warm and welcoming club environment.
