Anyone who doesn’t understand the term ‘flying tee-shirts’
hasn’t been there, but it would appear that they will be back on this year’s
Tunnock’s Mull Rally.
The venue of course for this will be the Rally Forum in the
Aros Hall on Tobermory’s Main Street on Thursday evening commencing 7.00 pm - just
don’t tell the Health & Safety Polis!
Organised by Mull Car Club and friends, the star guests on
this year’s Forum will be Mini and MINI driver Daniel Harper, the young hotshot Peter Taylor, the less young and luke-warmshot John Cressey, the owner of that extraordinary and fast MkI, Alan Gardiner, and
representing that band of long suffering
heroes, known as co-drivers, navigators, mugs or the ones ‘most likely to get
the blame when things go wrong’, Andrew Roughhead.
So who would be daft or brave enough to take this lot on and
act as MC for the night? Well, it won’t be Bob Milloy. He’s not available this
year so that left the organisers scratching around for someone else. Apparently they dredged the nation's drinking dens and gutters (and even the waste bins in Aberdeen) to find such a personage and following a variety of threats, intimidation and blackmail, such a 'volunteer' was found.
Entry to the Forum is free and there will be a short quiz
with prizes – including the infamous ‘flying tee-shirts’ and if the audience
gets rowdy, other objects might be flying too.
The Forum is scheduled to finish around 8.30 pm just in time
for the Tunnock’s Tea Cake eating contest in MacGochan’s at 9.00 pm.
For newcomers to the event and the island, both events are
not to be missed, but who will be hosting the Forum on this night of pre-rally
fun and frolics before the serious business gets underway? Any guesses?
