| Saturday/Sunday 18/19 September | MX5 OC National Rally - Chatsworth House, Derbyshire. Note the September midweek drive and third sunday run are both replaced by the National Rally this month. A reminder about car parking at the rally: Due to the shape of the car park area, and for maximum effect for photo shots etc, we aim to have everybody park in long lines across the field facing towards the river. So to achieve this, it will be arrive and park straight away one after the other (also as Chatsworth don't want us holding up the public from accessing the house). There will be a picnic area, somewhere to erect gazebos or just chill out, to the right of the field after you have come through the gate, amongst the trees and bordering the river bank.
