Coalville Car Club

Weekly Bulletin No: 205 - 14th June 2010

 

Thanks to Rob Birtles who turned out to marshal on Rugby MC / Mercia MS’s Gold & Silver Goblets Multi Venue Autotest on June 12th . We don’t have full results yet, but well done to all CCC Members who had a go.

Well done to Michael Hunter & Paul Darch, who came 2nd in class on the East Anglian Classic at the weekend in their TR4.

CCC will again be assisting Rugby with running the Mallory Park Stages of the Rally of the Midlands on June 18/19. Dave Oliver is the Stage Commander, assisted by Chris Faulkner, while JayBee is running one of the Radios. Chris Thorley is co-ordinating the CCC Marshals, so if you can come on either the Friday evening or Saturday, please give him a call. We are very short of people, so please come along if you can.

Chris says: Can anyone who’d intending to help let me know – as usual they’re short of people; and it’s a good day out.

If you can assist on even one of the days it would be helpful

“Signing on will be at Shaw's Hairpin between 5:30 & 6:30pm on Friday and between 8 & 9am on Saturday. We should be finished by 10pm on Friday and by 3:15 on Saturday.  If you can get to Mallory by 5pm on Friday to help Dave Oliver with the set up that would be great.”

For those of you who may be interested, the London Counties Association of Motor Clubs has been formally wound up. Coalville has been a member Club for about 20 years, since we ran Single Venue Rallies at Wilbarston.
