Committee Update

We have a busy time ahead with plenty of Trials activity at our “fair-weather venues” for our members. The Club has a highly active and supportive team of volunteers who, along with the “Grey Team” make these events happen. 

At last night’s Committee Meeting we finalised the details for our June and July events.

Earlier in the year we had considered culling some of our annual Trials which can be a challenge to fit in in the dry season, but whilst we have the support the team we will keep on running them.

We look forward to seeing you at some.

COC Jim Gray has enlisted the help of some suitably qualified plotters to lay out this Trial – no Grey Team for this one!

If the trial is a success, we hope that it can become a regular fixture in the Centre Calendar to help encourage our younger members and stars of the future.

Air Cooled Mono’s - Update

There was insufficient interest in an ACM Class to make it viable. Never say never, but for the time being we will not add this class to our events, with the possible exception of The Keith Marshall Classic Trial.

Side Cars

After some considerable discussion it was agreed that Waltham Chase and local activity in general was not ready to host Side Car classes at events. 

We will however continue to have a Side Car option at all Practice Days.
