We have been asked to run a Selectif on the Huntsman Enduro Rally on May 30th. The Selectif is near Coalville, so very much on the doorstep. We will need at least 25 people, for Start / Finish and to mark Course Penalties. Please ask friends, relatives or any other responsible people. Signing on is at 14:15 128-393/192 , and first Car is due at 15:50. Could all interested parties if you could please let John Brindley know numbers and availability, aj-brindley@hotmail.co.uk

Rugby MC have again asked us to help on the Mallory Park Stages on the Rally of the Midlands on June 19/20. There are 6 Stages at Mallory, in pairs. One visit on Friday evening and 2 visits on Saturday. I don’t have full details from Rugby yet, but I understand Duncan Lord is Stage Commander. Since Rugby will be helping us on the Huntsman, we need to get as big a team as possible out on both events.

Thanks to those of you who have sent in Pictures, have a look at the Galleries for new additions, and keep those pictures coming.
