Single venue stage rally, tarmac and loose, for invited drivers - a mix of vehicles from Mk1 Escorts to WRC cars, plus trade stands and exhibits.

DSG NI should be out in force at this popular event, and we'll have a club stand there. For more details call Drew or take a look at the Lurgan Park web sites, though at time of writing the rally site has still got last year's details.

DSG Spares Open Weekend (for DSG members only), and a chance to buy all those huge chunks of Snoot we'd never get in the post. For more information, take a look at the topic in the 'Spares Scheme' forum or give Steve a ring.

We had a DSG stand here last year for the first time in years; a great success it was too, despite the rain. For details see the report in DSN 104 or the photos on the forum page for last year's event.

As with the spring Tatton Park show, entry is free for exhibitors and gets you access not only to the show, but to the Tatton Park grounds with all the National Trust facilities.

It'd be great to build on last year's club stand of 9 cars; come along just for the show, or perhaps we might use the show as a launch pad for the planned DSG Lake District trip. For details and tickets, call Dietmar.

Last year's show was cancelled due to appalling weather, but the previous year Phil Moorcroft and Andrew Baum made it over to Ireland to join Drew and others for a great event, held in beautiful rolling grounds near the Mourne mountains.

Everyone's welcome over again this year for this DSG NI regular; for more information and entries, call Drew.

Nice little meet with a range of vehicles often not seen at the bigger shows, access to the Vauxhall Heritage Centre collection, the VXRacing simulator (with 'Golden Welly' award for FTD!), charity raffle, catering and goody bags; all proceeds to charity. For details of previous shows, see past DSNs.

Rallyday is an annual show which gives visitors a chance to enjoy the spectacle of seeing a wide range of rally cars, and rally stars, in an open and spectator friendly environment. It comprises live action on the track with static displays in the paddock, and has something to offer everyone from the rally enthusiast to a family looking for an enjoyable day out.

On track action comes in the form of professional driving demonstrations, track sessions, rally car rides, circuit parades and a feature rally car stage. Off track there are a host of displays where visitors can have a close look at some of the worlds most iconic rally cars, which have made rallying history through the years.

We hope to get a good selection of Club cars there for the Chevette HS's 30th anniversary year, and Pentti Airikkala should be there, driving club member Steve Price's replica of his '79 Open Championship winning car.

Accessible forest stage rally in Surrey, with a DSG club stand near the service area. If your car's still on the road in November and you feel like braving the outdoors join the increasing group of members who enjoy this event. For a review of last year's rally, see the report in DSN 104.

Huge, glossy indoor show, a showcase for the classic car industry and a place to see unusual vehicles. No details aat time of writing - for further information, keep an eye on the DSN events pages, this page or the 'What's On' forum.
