Our Sponsors

Support Our Supporters

The historic rallying only exists through the time and effort volunteers who work extremely hard for the love of the sport. But in addition there are times when we need the support of businesses who have an empathy for what we do.

This valued support comes in various forms, including financial assistance, services in kind – such as photography and publicity – and providing items such as trophies. All this helps to reduce the overheads, keeping membership and championship registration fees to a minimum.

The HRCR are incredibly grateful to the following sponsors for their assistance. In return please support them with your custom whenever you can.
