Scottish RNC Rally a huge success

This year's Scottish Registration Numbers Club Rally was held on Sunday 13th August 2006 at the Grampian Transport Museum, Alford, Aberdeen. The rally was organised by local area RNC member Sam Murray in support of UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, for which it raised over £170.00. Held in conjunction with the Aberdeen MG Owners and North East Scotland TVR club's event and set in a superb part of the Scottish highlands with spectacular views, the rally attracted over 35 entries.

Visitors travelled from places as far afield as Surrey, Hertfordshire,Yorkshire, Wales, West Midlands, Lancashire, and, of course, from Scotland. In fact, a total of 4,625 miles were travelled by participants attending the event.

The Lady Provost of the City of Aberdeen, Helen Reynolds, toured the rally field with the organisers during the day, arriving in her official car bearing the unusual registration RG 0. The plate dates back to Local Taxation Office days when eight zero plates were specially created for Mayoral cars.

As well as Aberdeen (RG 0), they include Glasgow (G 0), Renfrewshire - now Eastwood (HS 0), City of London (LM 0), Edinburgh (S 0), Midlothian (SY 0), Lanarkshire - now Glasgow (V 0) and Greenock (VS 0).
