Orwell Rally

It’s clear that among you, dear readers, there must be quite a few rally enthusiasts who remember a rally called the Orwell Rally, organized by a club known as Nemesis MCC.

Based on the commemorative badges from my collection, there were at least five of these rallies, which appear to have taken place in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

But where was this club based? Where did their annual gatherings take place?

Many questions remain unanswered, and this page relies on you to help fill in the gaps with any information you might have about this rally.

To get things started, I’m laying the first stone with this newspaper excerpt about one of the Orwell gatherings.

An impressive moustache indeed—that of Jim Twaddle (right), pictured here alongside Debbie Robinson (left), who was crowned Miss Orwell at this gathering.

Now it’s your turn, fellow rally fans, to help build this page dedicated to the Orwell Rally!
