Not sure if White Hat Rally is for you...? It is!!

Don't just think about it - DO IT!

You're wondering whether to sign up to this year's White Hat Rally event, not sure if it's for you? Don't hesitate, sign up today and look forward to a fantastic weekend of fun, excitement, challenges and be confident that you will have a thoroughly great time and make lots of new friends.

It's going to be amazing!

Our events are great fun, not requiring any special driving skills or vehicles. They are open to anyone aged 18 or over looking for excitement and adventure. The challenge is getting from the start to the finish, while maintaining your sense of humour! Many teams take part in old bangers decorated to the theme of the event, with fancy dress costumes to match which all adds to the fundraising frenzy.

With the many technology advances in recent years we've all benefited from improved communications, but at the same time the Internet and mobile phones have presented new channels for abuse. Children and teenagers are increasingly victims of grooming and bullying.

By raising funds for carefully chosen charities we can help to stop child cruelty. Join us and help us to support Barnardo's in their work with vulnerable children - helping to improve their lives.

Although there is a bias towards IT and Information Security due to our roots, we have participants from all walks of life and this diversity increases each year with more colleagues, family and friends being introduced as word spreads.

Are you in business?
This is the best business networking event you will attend this year!

Is this rally for me?

Well that depends on what you are looking for, but we're confident that you will have a fantastic long weekend that you won't forget for a very long time, and at the same time you will be making a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children by taking part in our charity car rally.

There are so many rallies each year, some for charity, some not, some in the UK, some not, some are short, others are long, some are for specific cars... so it really does depend on what you want, how much time you've got, and how well you are funded!

Inexpensive and open to anyone aged 18 and over, our events are fun and for charity. You only need a car with four wheels, and you will be raising money to support the work of recognised charities in their work with vulnerable children and teenagers.

Our event is 3 days, with optionally an early arrival on the day before extending the social side of things. We've tried to keep the start and finish as central as we can to make it accessible to everyone, and we've classes of entry to suite all vehicles too. We've tried to keep the costs down and make the event as social as possible while remembering that we are trying to raise as much money as possible for Barnardo's.

If you are keen to have a lot of fun while minimising the impact on work and your wallet then look no further! White Hat Rally won't disappoint!!

We've had everything from a Porche and Caterham, to classic cars, an ambulance and lots of old bangers, but many enter in their regular car and decorate it to the theme of the rally. We'll have some fun and games along the way to the theme, and we've also included other motoring activities for some off road fun!

Our rally has elements of true motor sport, drawing on the navigational skills used by proper road rallys and off road rallys. You don't need any prior experience, nor a special vehicle or equipment. Our events are run according to Motorsport UK standards as we are a fully recognised motor sports club.

If you still aren't sure then take a look at some of the other events available from various organisations and individuals, you will soon get an idea of what appeals to you! There are too many to list but to get you started here's a few: Scally Rally, Wacky Rally, Banger Rally, All Star Rally, Screwball Rally, Charity Road Trips, EuroRally 33, Scrumrun, Motoscape, Mini Rallies, Crumball Rally, Ramshackle Rally, Dumball Rally and U Rally.
