Big End Rally

Pictures from the early days from Steve Todd who, on the advice of his attorney, has fled the country.

After trying to sort out my boxes of old photos I fell onto a box with loads of really incriminating shots! These four attached files show the ambiance during the two rallies that I supplied the disco!

This is the queue at the ice-cream counter.

Look for Cedric Rees, Daz Mauger etc . . . more names can be supplied!

I think we can see Percy peeping from behind the fig leaf. A well known member at the time.

Denny didn't want to get her T‑shirt wet.

This young lady didn't want to get her T‑shirt dry.

The onlookers were sinking into the muddy end of the beer tent.

Oh I was rather amazed to see a piccy of my then fella Nig Filer and myself on the early days of the Big End ...
he is the one with the white T‑shirt, shoulder length dark hair and beard looking to his right ...
and I am the one with the fig leaf in the piccy below!

I have more of the same ilk in my album but you might need a lot of fig leaves, lol.

The Big End rally was held in March in Leicestershire. Cannot remember much about this rally except Woodsey went with me and we packed up on Sunday to go to the Triumph Owners AGM held at the old Triumph works at Meriden before travelling home.

Here is a newspaper clipping from Jean-Francois Helias. We need you to identify the people, the year, and possibly the newspaper.

Nigel's Big End invite
HOW would you like
to wake up in your
tent next to this club? They
ride out of the Midlands
mists by night, slipping
almost unnoticed into rally
fields, to pitch tents beside
unsuspecting folk. Only
when day dawns is the awful
truth revealed - they take
pleasure in ..... you'll have
to find out the truth for
yourself by dropping in on
them any Tuesday evening
from about 9pm at the Red
Lion, Huncote, six miles
south of Leicester. Your
man for advance warning on
the Leicester Phoenix club is
Nigel on 0455-633445
evenings.

NOTE: The meeting place and phone number are well out of date!
