For anyone who may have been still hoping to go to the national rally in British Columbia, I received this email today. Looks like there’s still some hope you’ll be able to attend. Ride safe. <div><br></div><div>David B</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Greetings to you all from a rather hot BC, Canada. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Having got to the point where life was starting to return to normal it looks like we are facing an uncertain wildfire season and we hope the destruction of the small village of Lytton is the last serious event
of the summer. What I can say is that resources are being readied to contain the threat including the military and I believe the situation is similar in WA, OR, ID. Given that the Rally is now in September we hope the situation is stable well before that.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">By now I hope you will have seen that we have opened bookings to Canadians for Lumby and over the weekend we have our first bookings. We of course hope that this is going to be a truly international rally
and we are monitoring the situation on the border reopening for non essential travel. What does seem important is that all border crossings will be dependent upon full vaccination – there will be more details shortly and we are expecting a major announcement
no later than the 21<sup>st</sup> of the month. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Until then please think about coming to Lumby. Details are on the
<a href="http://www.nortonrally.com" target="_blank">www.nortonrally.com</a> website and for those who do not have the time to drive/ride be aware of the motorcycle rental options available.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If you have any questions I ma very happy to take them on my personal Hotmail email.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
