Frequently Asked Questions
Question
Answer
Do I have to be a H.O.G.® member to buy tickets for the South Of England Rally?
Yes. This is a closed event for members of H.O.G.® and their guests only.
I am not a biker. Can I still come to the Rally? If so, will I have to pay extra?
You can come as the guest of a H.O.G.® member who can buy a ticket on your behalf at exactly the same price as H.O.G.® members. Otherwise, you cannot attend the rally.
I am a Harley-Davidson® owner but I am not a member of H.O.G.® Can I still come to the Rally? If so, will I have to pay extra?
You can come as the guest of a H.O.G.® member who can buy a ticket on your behalf at exactly the same price as H.O.G.® members. Better still, why not join H.O.G.®?
I am a biker but not a Harley-Davidson® owner. Can I still come to the Rally? If so, will I have to pay extra?

Why are tickets for the South Of England Rally on sale to H.O.G.® members only?
Because it is organised by five H.O.G.® Chapters and actively supported by H.O.G.® and the Harley-Davidson® Motor Company and it is only right that the benefits of this support should go to H.O.G.® members.
Will there be amusements and other facilities for children?
There are no amusements or facilities specifically for children. This event is for adults. While H.O.G.® is a family-orientated organisation, please consider carefully the wisdom and advisability of bringing children - especially young children - to a site which exists primarily for shooting activities, quite apart from the frequent movement of large numbers of motorcycles. The last thing we want is tragic accidents (that goes for adults too) so if you want to bring your children, please do so on the strict understanding that they must be supervised and controlled at all times by their LEGAL GUARDIANS. If you fail to do so, we reserve the right to ask you to leave the site.  If in doubt, do not bring children.
Can I bring a mini-motorcycle? For safety reasons, definitely not, still less use it on site.
Can I bring a bicycle (push-bike)? For safety reasons, definitely not, still less use it on site. This particularly includes children's bikes.
Can I bring a dog/cat?
Similar considerations apply to bringing pets as to children. If you think your pet may be distressed by noise, please leave it at home. Otherwise, provided your pet is under control at all times, you are welcome to bring a pet.
Is the rally site secure?
Bisley Camp is open to members of the public attending the various shooting ranges and clubs. We will set up the usual access controls, banding of bikes and riders and so on, to make bikes as secure as possible. All bikes leaving the site will be stopped and checked. However, as always, security is first and foremost the owner's responsibility and you should come equipped with suitable motorcycle security devices and NEVER leave your bike unsecured.
Will I be able to park my bike near my on-site accommodation?
In most cases, yes. There is plenty of hardstanding. However, the closest point to your accommodation may be grassed, and if the ground is not firm enough, riding on and parking on the grassed areas may not be permitted. Bike owners should bring a suitable side-stand pad in case of soft ground.
Will I be able to park my bike next to my tent?
Yes, IF THERE IS SPACE, THE GROUND IS FIRM ENOUGH AND PROVIDING YOU DO SO SAFELY so as not to endanger either yourselves or others. If there is not enough space, or the ground is not firm enough, riding on and parking on the grassed areas will not be permitted, and you should park on hardstanding only. Bike owners should bring a suitable side-stand pad in case of soft ground.
Will I be able to park my car or other vehicle next to my tent ?
No. This requirement will be actively enforced.
Will I be able to bring my own food/drink on-site?
Rally goers are welcome to bring their own food/drink, including alcoholic beverages, onto the site for consumption in their accommodation, tent or caravan and other public areas except the Bisley Pavilion and the Clubhouses.
Are there any shops on site for supplies etc?
Yes, basic camping supplies such as milk, bread, eggs, bacon etc will be available on site. Otherwise, the nearest shops are in Bisley Village; the nearest big towns are Woking and Guildford.
Are there cooking facilities in the NRA accommodation?
No. Cooking is not permitted in the NRA accommodation or any other on-site accommodation unless specifically stated. You may of course cook in the camping areas provided you observe safety regulations.
Who is providing catering services on site?
Bisley Pavilion will be providing full English breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and refreshments throughout the day, as well as the bars, of course. There will also be other food outlets and the Bisley clubhouses and these will be detailed in the Rally pack that will be given to you at registration. This web site will be updated nearer the time with more information.
Does any of the NRA accommodation have double beds?
No, all beds are single beds. Only the Bisley pavilion Hotel has any double beds. Check availability of rooms with them direct.
Does the NRA accommodation include bedding?
Limited bedding, comprising a pillow and two blankets is supplied, for each bed. Bed linen can be supplied by the NRA for £5.00 per bed for the weekend. If you wish to reserve bedsheets please indicate this when you contact the NRA when you call to reserve accommodation. Availability of bedsheets without reservation cannot be guaranteed.
Will tickets be available on the gate?
No.
 I am aged under 16. Can I attend the rally?
Only if accompanied by at least one adult rally-goer who has purchased a ticket by pre-registering or at the gate.
Will I be able to purchase a Rally patch and/or pin at the event?
Yes, if there is sufficient stock.
Can you accept credit cards at the Rally?

All cheque payments at the rally must be accompanied by a valid cheque guarantee card. HOWEVER, individual traders may accept credit/debit cards.
