The Rugby Club has excellent facilities and there are plenty of eating facilities (both sit-in and carry-out / delivery) within a short walking distance including the Dolphin which is in the carpark in front of the rugby club and open all day serving a great selection of food and drinks.

 

For those not wishing to camp there is a variety of Hotel B&B accommodation available in the town but if you do I would suggest you book very early as Linlithgow is a very popular destination.

 

On Friday evening at 8pm we will have a presentation by the Scottish Air Ambulance our chosen charity which we supported last year by raising £750 from the auction and raffle ticket sales. Any contibutions for raffle prizes will be much appreciated. The SCAA will also have a display of merchandise for sale.

 

The ticket price at £25 represents excellent value for money so book your place early. You can order your tickets by completing the application form on the Contact page on the website.

For the second year by popular demand we will have The Audiorayz back on stage on Saturday night at 9pm - they are guaranteed to have everyone up on the dance floor, so don't miss the opportunity to let your hair down!!!

Presentation of a cheque for £750 being the sum raised via the auction and raffle at the 2022 Scottish Rally

===================================================

 

 

 

 

 

      

 

                                     2022

The 2022 Scottish Rally will be again held at the Falkirk Rugby Club, Dorrator Road, Falkirk, FK2 7YW from Friday 29th April through to Monday 2 May 2020. 

 

The Rugby Club will operate the bar, will have their kitchen operating and will be able to supply breakfast and evening meals for the duration of the event. The clubhouse also has the benefit of an attached marquee which will give the option of a second "quiet" area for those who prefer it. The Bands will be playing on Saturday night and Sunday night.

 

The camping area is at the far end of the rugby pitch and will be accessible for motorcycles. There is also a car park and hardstanding area adjacent to the clubhouse that could accommodate a few campervans. The rugby club changing rooms have the usual toilet and shower facilities and are separate from the clubhouse however we will have time limited access to these during each day or an alternative arrangements.

 

For those who prefer hotel accommodation there is a Premier Inn less than half a mile away on Main Street Falkirk FK1 4DS.

The town centre is just over a mile away from the Rugby Club and has all the usual facilities for a town of this size as well as lots of other restaurant / accommodation facilities.

 

Falkirk is home to the famous Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies both of which are well worth a visit while in the area. Also close by in Camelon you will find the Mariner Centre if you fancy a dip in the pool or relax in the sauna for a while to ease the joints after a long ride, just remember to pack the swimwear.

 

Falkirk is well placed centrally for access to some of the great ride out routes in all direction around Scotland. There are six suggested ride out routes of varying distances available on this website or make up your own.

One major benefit of holding the Rally in Falkirk is that we are in the home town of Scotland's only MOTO GUZZI Dealer. The last time we held the Rally here Jim Allan Motorcycles put on an amazing day for us and they will do the same for us all again this year.

During the day on Saturday they will have their  range of demonstration motorcycles available for those interested in taking a test ride on the model of their choice. Please remember to bring your driving licence with you if you intend having a test ride.

 

In addition to this they will have Technicians on hand during Saturday to carry out health checks and offer technical advice about your motorcycle. While you are there you will be able to browse the displays of motorcycle clothing and accessories - discounts will be available on these items on the day. You will also be able to enter their free raffle with a chance to win some great prizes.

 

What will be new for this year is the availability of free food provided by professional caterers - if the photographs above are anything to go by it will be worth visiting just to sample the food, but there will be lots more to see to capture your attention!
