Over recent years we as a committee (on behalf of the members) have tried to introduce new and diverse events to keep the BSM fresh. This means that some events will have to be rested from time to time to allow others to be be tried. Last year I heard lots of people bemoan the fact that Shipston wasn't on the calendar, this year it's back, but that means that something else has to give. In addition to Shipston we have tried to introduce some exciting new venues, as well as revisiting some old favourites that haven't been included for many years.
Now for a personal opinion; for many years I attended the Isle of Wight. Eventually I found that an event which had once been one of the highlights of my scootering year became stale (for me). So I gave it a rest and then went back reinvigorated. We want to try and avoid that scenario with our rallies as far as we can, by not just sticking with the same events.
Please have a look at the calendar, decide which rallies appeal to you and enjoy riding your scooter, because that's what it's all about
Craig does a very good job of it too, great set of events to attend this year
