What is the RBLR Non Attendance Rally<\/strong> (NAR)?<\/strong>
It is the world-famous biker rally where nobody turns up, nobody organises it, and nobody camps \u2014 and yet it somehow runs flawlessly every year.<\/p>\n\n\n

The idea of the Non-Attendance Rally<\/strong> is very simple:
we don\u2019t organise a rally at a special location, and you don\u2019t attend it.

By not attending, there\u2019s no packing, no travelling, no worrying about the weather, cooking, camping, or anything else usually involved in a rally. You simply sit back, relax, and enjoy not being there. 

And while you\u2019re doing absolutely none of that, if you purchase one of our fabulous non attendance rally badges you will be making a real contribution to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the cost of the badge and associated expenses have been covered, every remaining penny is donated to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.<\/a>
You get a badge and a bit of fun; the Armed Forces Community gets vital support \u2014 a true win-win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit our shop<\/a> to buy a great badge today
the only thing you need to turn up for is the checkout.<\/h2>\n\n\n
