Flyers for TRC Rallyes

Objective

The purposes of a rallye's flyer are

• to inform (or remind) prospective rallyists of the details of the rallye -- theme, rallye type, date, time, and anything special.
• to explain to first timers what a rallye is or what the rallye will be like, if a rallyist provides a flyer to a prospective first timer.
• to convince both to attend or to seek more information about rallying and about the club.

TRC's flyers are posted online and printed onto paper. Paper flyers are offered (for free) at prior rallye events and are snail-mailed to members who request hard copies and to nonmembers who have run a rallye in the past many months (in hopes they will return). Mailed flyers are normally printed in black and white. Flyers at events are sometimes printed in color, but are not reimbursed at a rate that fully covers the expense. Ideally, consecutive rallyes' flyers are printed on opposite sides of the same sheets, to save paper.

Guidelines

TRC Gimmick Rallye Rules describes the requirements for a flyer.

Do not assume that every rallyist will have seen your flyer. Therefore a flyer can not set up a gimmick for your rallye, unless it is also set up in your rallye's registration packet.

(One could include a flyer for February's rallye in January's registration packet, however, including some gimmick for January's rallye, such as a NOTE or BONUS instruction.)

Format

The rallye flyer should contain something (like a photo, drawing, or large text) to attract attention when the flyer is posted across the room.

It may also contain "fine print" to be read by someone directly in front of it. See also the Guidelines of what the flyer should include.
