:: Rally ::

Isn’t it annoying when you get to the Rally and you realise that you’ve forgotten something fundamental? Like your necker. Below is some useful information and pointers as to what to take in your kit.

Things to note

Eat before you arrive - Whilst there are generally snacks available on the Friday night, rally does not provide you with a proper meal, so make sure you have some grub before you arrive.
Kit you might need for an activity you’ve signed-up for - Activities like walking or canoeing require walking or canoeing stuff to be taken to rally. Also bear in mind that you may not end-up being able to do your first choice activity.
Wet weather gear (raincoat, umbrella etc) - as rain isn’t going to stop us running the widegame, most activities and the silly games!

Kit - Things that you will need to take

Clothes (don’t forget a coat if it looks like raining)
Change of clothes (for when someone super-soaks you)
Second change of clothes (for when they super-soak your spare clothes)
Change of shoes
Washkit, towel etc
Cutlery, unbreakable plate, bowl and mug
Teatowel
Torch
Sleeping bag
Karrimat/thermarest, pillow
Tent (remember those poles now …)
Money (especially if you haven’t settled your bill in advance or want to buy any booze)
SSAGO Health Form (or, at least, enough details to actually be able to fill it in)
Necker
Fancy dress for barn dance
Alcohol (see below for where to buy this en route)
Kit for specific activities (e.g. walking stuff, canoeing stuff, or special beer hat)

Things that you may wish to take

Alarm clock - Depends if you wish to make it to breakfast and influence friends
Waterpistol - Handy in summer
Reserve waterpistol
Money to buy more waterpistols
Camera (waterproof if possible…)
Sunhat and sunscreen (yeah, they probably need to be waterproof too)
Extra food (just in case you aren’t partial to the banquets we lay on, or the times we serve them)

NB - Water features highly in many Rally games, you have been warned! Don't surprise yourself when you get there, be prepared :-
