THE GEORGE HOTEL in Rye are again kindly sponsoring both the race numbers and also the rather swish aero race banners which will be in evidence at the race start in Pevensey Castle, at Herstmonceux Castle, outside Battle Abbey and at the race finish in Rye. In addition they are sponsoring the bespoke technical T-shirts which will be awarded to the individual male and female stage winners. The George is an inviting and contemporary luxury hotel, which still retains many of the features and charms associated with its former life as a 16th century coaching inn. With 24 stylish bedrooms, an original Georgian ballroom, and an excellent restaurant menu sourcing many of its ingredients locally, it makes an ideal weekend getaway in the charming medieval town of Rye.
