Kildrummy Vintage Rally - June 8th
This year's KVVC rally takes place on Sunday 8th June, returning once again to the magnificent Kildrummy Estate.
The estate owners have generously offered to host the event back at the original location for a third year. A lot of work is going on at the moment to prepare the area for the rally in June which we hope will be of interest to you all.
The organisers plan to maintain the same rally format at usual with informal entrant parking and the regular judging team. They are also ensuring they have the necessary facilities on site to make this an enjoyable day out in fantastic country surroundings.
Please Note: KVVC will once again be selling some rally merchandise from the registration tent.
Bank transfer has been offered again as an additional payment option. Forms and online entry link are available on the Registration page of our new website via the link below.
