JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion is not just a motorsport event; it’s a celebration of community, education, and sustainability. In the lead-up to the rally weekend on 30 August to 01 September, 2024, the event organisers have been actively engaging with local schools and communities to foster a spirit of involvement and excitement.
JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion team has been actively visiting schools across Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, and has launched a competition for schools to win up to £1,000 to spend on environmental projects. There is also a competition for children to design one of the rally cars that will take place in this year’s event. The school visits have been focused on safety, sustainability, and community involvement.
In a joint statement, Councillor Hazel Evans Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Leisure, Culture and Tourism, Carmarthenshire County Council and Councillor Clive Davies, Ceredigion County Council’s Cabinet Member with responsibility for Economy and Regeneration, said: “In Rali Ceredigion 2024, we see a fantastic opportunity to unite our communities and showcase the very best of Mid and West Wales. By engaging with local schools and businesses, Rali Ceredigion is not only fostering a spirit of excitement and collaboration but also emphasising our commitment to sustainability and boosting our economy. This event is a chance to put our area on the map and highlight our region’s unique offerings to a global audience.”
