Woodvale Rally: The Champion page and details of the military procession


TWO of the cars from the Life On Cars garage - the MGB GT and the Mini - will be appearing at this year's Woodvale Rally.

This mock-up front page of The Southport Champion, which the printed column appears in, will also greet visitors during the event, so if you're going to be sure to keep a close eye out for the cars. There'll also be updates tomorrow and on Saturday and Sunday from the rally venue itself.

In other news, dozens of military machines will rumble into Southport town centre this weekend - but don't worry, it's not an invading army!

The procession, which will include more than 30 vehicles and arrive on Lord Street on Saturday evening (August 6), will be comprised of entrants into this year's Woodvale Rally, which takes place throughout this weekend at RAF Woodvale.

The road run, which will take approximately one hour, will take in Liverpool Road, Waterloo Road to the beginning of Lord Street, before turning back towards the Woodvale Rally venue along the same route. Due to the machinery taking part, the procession is expected to be slow moving.

Police have recommended that motorists use the Coastal Road as an alternative route for those wishing to get into Southport without being delayed by the procession.
