What do your members do ?

Compete - in single and multi-venue special stage rallies, from the local airfield, right up to internal tarmac events.

Service - a number of our members assist the competing crews by help keeping the cars in top fettle whilst on an event.

Marshal - a number of our members assist other clubs by marshalling on a rally stage, doing start/finish time control duties, even doing the results on some small, local events. We also have two members who are MSA authorised radio operators.

Socialise - Our club nights offer an opportunity for not so adventurous members to join in the social scene of a pint or two, or to show off their motorsport knowledge in a quiz, or compete at Scalextric or Play Station games.

Organise - Several of our members help organise and run events each year. These include roles such as Stage Commander, Clerk of the Course, Safety Officer, Chief Marshal or Stage Co-Ordinator.
