Balkan Rally Screening Report

By Balkan Rally James
The Balkan Rally Screening and after party pub crawl extravaganza took place last weekend. It was good to see most of the ralliers from last year make it, alot had flown in especially from far flung exotic places like Ireland and Scotland. It was good to see also some people who didn't join us last year. Everyone seemed to enjoy the film even if they didn't understand the miriad of private jokes that featured.

After the 5pm screening we enjoyed a pub crawl through Oxford's many historic and famous pubs. Illustrious venues like The Turf Tavern, The Kings Arms and The Bear. We finished the night (early due to the state of the ralliers) at The Cellar club for some Funk & 80s Hip Hop. An amazing reunion and a good oppurtunity to meet some of the people coming in 2011.

DVDs of the movie have been sent to all ralliers though unfortunately this 1hr long epic will not be available online. Instead we will be releasing selected clips over the coming weeks. Make sure you keep checking the website for these hilarious visual nuggets of 'the very best thing to do last summer'

By Balkan Rally James
The 2011 Balkan Rally dates have been posted. It will begin on the 29th July with Underhill Festival, the Balkan and Dance music festival in the West Country. It finishes a fortnight later on the 12th August on the shores of Lake Ohrid, Macedonia, at a special Balkan Rally beach party. Sign up today for early bird tickets for £125. Only 30 are available so get in quick.

The Balkan Rally 2010 film screening is edging closer. It will take place on the 12th February in Oxford and anyone can come along for free. It will be followed by a pub crawl round some of the city's renowned pubs and bars before finishing up at one of Oxford's best nightclubs. The cinema is the Ultimate Picture palace, one of the UK's oldest cinemas and one of the few with a bar inside the theatre. The film is looking excellent, I highly recommend everyone make the journey.

See you on the 12th...

The first ever Balkan Rally finishes at lake Ohrid

By Balkan Rally James
The first ever Balkan Rally ended on time at Lake Ohrid. A Barbeque, awards ceremony and all night party on a private beach was there to greet the ralliers.

A fun time was had by all and I am looking forward to next year. The Balkan Bible for 2011 has already started being written.

The screening of The Balkan Rally 2010 movie will be taking place at a cinema near Christmas, more details coming soon, everyone is welcome!
