First volunteers and marquee contractors go on site today! It looks like we've been incredibly lucky with the weather again - it should be dry for the whole Rally weekend, and some good chances of sunshine! http://yorkrally.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/screenshot-www.wunderground.com-2019.06.19-07...
