Rules
Basic aims of the Photographic Rally
To encourage people to get “out there” on their motorbike(s) & have some element of fun, travel & adventure. “Out there” will – ideally – be a bit off the beaten track &/or feature an unusual, historical or picturesque subject.
An interest in photography is not essential – however it just might add an additional dimension to the event.
The event, in the context of motorcycle riding, is not competitive. Badges are awarded for photographing a preset number of locations. Special awards will be given for best set of photos, best photo, oldest bike, smallest bike etc.
The Rules
Be careful & do enjoy yourself – it’s about having fun.
