Question and Answers

Will I be able to pay on the gate?

As you have no doubt already noticed we have put a 3,000 ticket limit on the You’ve Been Nabbed rally. There are several reasons for this, including the fact that we just don’t get enough volunteer marshals to cover the event being any bigger (see info below). Last year we sold out well before the rally, so it is inevitable that some people this year will be disappointed at getting turned away.

I don’t know if the event will sell out in advance but I can say for certain that once we have sold 3,000 tickets nobody else will be permitted through the gate whatever sob-story they come up with! So if you want to guarantee your place at the event I strongly advise you to buy a ticket in advance.

Where is it?

The rally is at Astle Park, on the A535 Holmes Chapel Rd, Chelford, Cheshire. The nearest motorway access is Junction 18 of the M6 (Holmes Chapel), which is about 7 miles away.
Sat Nav co-ordinates are 53.258920, -2.276412 (53° 15' 32" N, 2° 16' 35" W). There's no postcode - it's a field! However, SK11 9AQ is in Chelford if your Satnav doesn't do geography.

What about Cars and Vans?

Most cars and vans will only be permitted on site if they have booked a vehicle pass in advance from the office (after giving a valid reason, eg bringing the kids etc). Vehicle passes will be £20.00 each.
N.B. We are not trying to stop all cars, the aim is to stop the scallies and non-bikers from coming.

Cars & Vans with a blue badge

If you have a valid blue (disabled parking) badge you will have no need to arrange passes in advance and there will be no charge for your vehicle (but the person whose photo is on the badge must be in the vehicle).

Caravans and Campervans

All caravans and campervans must book a pass in advance and they will be charged £30.00 (unless a valid medical need can be shown). This rule applies even if you have a valid blue badge. (The little ‘teardrop’ type of caravans people tow commonly with trikes are exempt from any extra charge or the need for a special pass).

Can I bring my own beer?

NO! Alcohol will not be permitted through the gate as we will be selling a good selection of beers wines and spirits at good prices on all three bars. Remember, this is a fundraiser for NABD, all profits from the bars help toward adapting vehicles for disabled riders. Also, glass bottles are not allowed in public areas.

Can I bring my dog?

Dogs will not be permitted on site at any time (Except guide dogs). Please note that other disability/aid dogs will only be permitted by prior arrangement. This is non negotiable and anybody arriving with a dog will be turned away even if they have tickets.

Bike & Trike Show

Bikes brought in on trailers and trikes that are towed in will not be allowed to take part in the show on Saturday afternoon. So if you don't ride it, don't bring it.

I'd like to bring a trade stall

Marshals Wanted

For the past few years the biggest problem facing us at the NABD’s national rally has been the shortage of volunteers to marshal the event. This has meant that a handful of very heroic folk have had to work very long hours to make everything work but we cannot carry on this way.

In a bid to encourage more people to help we have decided to add a few new measures to make marshalling a more attractive proposition.
There will also be a ‘Marshals Only party’ on Sunday night to thank those who have stayed behind to help with the clean-up with free booze.

Regular marshals who commit in advance will receive free passes for the event and marshals who buy tickets will be entitled to a full refund on Sunday once they have completed their shifts.

If you can commit in advance contact the NABD office on 0844 415 4849 and a form will be sent to you, or you can download the form here . You can also volunteer on site at Event Control.
Come and be a real part of one of Britain’s best bike rallies!
