Statement Concerning the 2022 Woodcote Rally
The Woodcote Rally organisers’ search for a new home has ended without success and the 2022 Rally is therefore cancelled.
The Rally has not run for the last two years because of Covid and we had hoped to restart the Rally in 2022. The field previously used by the Rally is now the home of the Chiltern Cross Country equestrian centre, so is no longer available to us.
Sadly, we haven’t been able to find a suitable field and, with time now running short to put the event together, we have decided to cancel this year’s Rally.
We have talked with many of the local farmers and land owners and one offer was made but, unfortunately, the site was just not big enough. We also looked at changing the dates for the Rally but, again, this was not viable.
So, regrettably, there will be no Woodcote Rally this year. We know this will be disappointing for our exhibitors and visitors, and also for the all the local charities we support.
Some of the farmers we spoke to said that they might be able to help in 2023, so our aim now is to secure a field for next year and get the Rally up and running again. All being well, the next Woodcote Rally will be held on 8th and 9th July 2023. We hope to see you there!
Good luck with your search for a new venue for 2023. I hope you are successful.
