1 Rally Guide Hotel Ballina/Kennedy Motors Mayo Stages Rally Introduction 1.1 Introduction from the Clerk of the Course On behalf of Mayo & District Motorsport Club Ltd. it gives me great pleasure to welcome competitors, spectators and volunteers to the 2015 Hotel Ballina/Kennedy Motors Mayo Stages Rally. This year the rally will be a counting round of the Sligo Pallets Border Championship. We return again in 2015 to Ballina and the surrounding area which was so supportive of the rally last year and have welcomed the rally back again. We are very grateful to our title sponsors Hotel Ballina and Kennedy Motors who supported us last year and continue their title sponsorship for A special thank you also to our associate sponsors this weekend. Without their support it would not be possible to run this event. Hotel Ballina is a truly superb location to hold a major rally, and we are delighted to be associated with Roisin Buckley/Jason Moyles and their team as co-sponsors of the event. Please avail of the fine facilities at the hotel over the rally weekend. There will be showers available in the hotel on Sunday evening after the rally for all competitors. Please contact hotel reception to arrange this. The rally will again be run over a very compact route with only 120km of road sections and three good quality, testing stages, repeated three times. We are staging a Rally Show in Ballina Town Centre on Saturday night which will showcase rallying to the public and bring the sport to a new audience. It is important to acknowledge that there would be no Mayo Stages Rally without the support and goodwill of residents and businesses along the rally route and surrounding area. I want to thank them for their co-operation and assistance, and ask all visitors to the rally stages to please respect private property and bring home all your own litter with you. Thanks also to Mayo County Council and An Garda Siochana who once again have been very supportive of this event. Of course safety is a major priority, and I appeal to all spectators to please obey marshals and officials and enjoy the rally from a safe vantage point. Please leave the rally driving to the special stages and take due care and consideration on our public roads. Many months of hard work have gone into preparing for the 2015 Mayo Stages Rally and I wish to thank the army of volunteers from rally officials to marshals who have worked so hard to make this event a success. A special thank you to neighbouring clubs who are providing marshals for the weekend - we shall return the favour for your events. Best wishes to everyone coming to Mayo for the rally, enjoy the action and have a safe weekend.
