Can you help organise the Great Trethew Vintage Rally?
The Great Trethew Rally is completely organised & run by an amazing and dedicated group of volunteers. Every year 100's of hours are dedicated on a voluntary basis to ensure that over the 3 days of the event on August Bank Holiday weekend thousands of visitors enjoy an entertaining family day out whilst raising significant financial donations for many local charities & organisations.
