Woodvale
Rally is moving date and to a new location
Photograph by Patrick

THE internationally
acclaimed Woodvale Rally has been forced to move from RAF
Woodvale after 40 years being on the airfield. Late week we
reported that an issue had affected this years hosting of
the Woodvale Rally at RAF Woodvale, in Formby. The problem that
cropped up suddenly was with
the location showed up after a routine site survey by the MOD,
on the active base found asbestos was in the ground of the
airfield. The Woodvale Rally committee where quickly informed
and they acted immediately to save the event.
In a statement issued to the
public the Woodvale Rally Press Officer said that:- "The
survey has revealed that World War II buildings, which were
demolished and buried have now found their way to the surface
and contain asbestos. For health and safety reasons organisers
of the Woodvale Rally are relocating the event to Victoria Park
with the new dates of Saturday, 28 July and Sunday, 29 July
2012. It is a shame we had to move, but we are looking forward
and we now have a situation that keeps the show live. Public
camping will go ahead and we will contact all people who have
already booked."
General Manager Peter Wood said:- "Although we are
disappointed that we are not able to use the airfield after so
many years, we are more than happy with Victoria Park as a
venue. Most attractions will go ahead as usual. The Southport
Flower Show committee have been marvellous in accommodating the
rally at Victoria Park. The 2012 Rally will have the benefit of
a Town Centre location with free bus transport from Chapel
Street station and free parking in Princes Park. The 2012 Rally
will adapt to the new venue and will provide most of the usual
events and attractions."
All of us at Southport & Mersey Reporter with the Rally all the
best and we will continue to sponsor this fantastic show. We can
confirm that we will be re-activating the online booking on our
Mersey Reporter
Shop and tickets can
also be obtained again on
woodvalerally.com as
well as from Sefton TIC.
