Important Notice

It is with great sadness that we have to release the following statement.

The North Lakes forests became unavailable due to the costs of regrading
and although we tried tirelessly to work out a plan with Forest England without
those forests there was simply no answer to the logistical issues.
MSUK became involved in the later stages of negotiations in an intense few days but
sadly a solution could not be found.

Therefore this year the 49th Malcolm Wilson Rally will not run.

Apologies to all those who wished to enter and also those support
teams that we rely on. We will continue to talk to Forest England and hope that the issues
can be resolved for the future.
