Some sessions might be offered on an individual basis and others are in pairs and groups, depending on the focus and format of the rally.<\/p>\n<p>Our aim is to always make rallies as affordable as possible. Cost depends on the venue, coach(es) and group size. Some rallies are subsidised by the branch.<\/p>\n                                                            <div class=\"btn-repeater\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/blankney\/about-the-blankney\/what-to-wear\/\" class=\"btn btn-default purple text-white\" >\r\n                                                What to Wear                                                <span class=\"arrow\">\r\n                                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\"\r\n                                         version=\"1.1\" id=\"Layer_1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 69.32 46.51\"\r\n                                         style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 69.32 46.51;\" xml:space=\"preserve\">\r\n                                        <path d=\"M43.79,2l-3.55,3.81l15.97,14.85H5.27c-1.44,0-2.6,1.16-2.6,2.6s1.16,2.6,2.6,2.6h50.97L40.25,40.7l3.55,3.81l22.86-21.25  L43.79,2z\"\r\n                                              fill=\"white\"><\/path>\r\n                                    <\/svg>\r\n                                <\/span>\r\n                                            <\/a>\r\n                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"container-fluid\" id=\"full-width-left-right\">\r\n            <div class=\"row p-0\">\r\n            <div class=\"col-md-6 p-0 fw-lr-image-container\">\r\n                <div class=\"fw-lr-image-ratio\"><\/div>\r\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/blankney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2024\/03\/IMG-20240226-WA0015-e1710259989269.jpg\" class=\"fw-lr-image-fw\" alt=\"Image\"\/>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"col-md-6 px-0 py-5 d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\" style=\"background: #ebf3f8\">\r\n                <div class=\"container d-flex flex-column justify-content-center py-5 px-md-5 h-100 text-white\">\r\n                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                        <div class=\"description col-12\" style=\"color:#002169;\">\r\n                            <h1><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2524 size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/blankney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2025\/11\/Rally25-e1762776062253-250x113.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/blankney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2025\/11\/Rally25-e1762776062253-250x113.jpg 250w, https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/blankney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2025\/11\/Rally25-e1762776062253-700x317.jpg 700w, https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/blankney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2025\/11\/Rally25-e1762776062253-768x348.jpg 768w, https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/blankney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2025\/11\/Rally25-e1762776062253-1536x696.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/blankney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2025\/11\/Rally25-e1762776062253-120x54.jpg 120w, https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/blankney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2025\/11\/Rally25-e1762776062253.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>General Rallies<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>These are usually held during the week in school holidays, and based at Metheringham by kind permission of Mr &amp; Mrs Parker.<\/p>\n<p>Generally they are for two hours and consist of a carousel of activities including flatwork, poles, jumping, games, or road safety.
