TO ALL MEMBERS

As many of you will be aware, the running of the last 12 Car event, the Summer Solstice, gave rise to complaints from members of the public. Although a representative of the club has contacted the aggrieved parties, and the matter has been amicably settled, the incident has created considerable problems

The committee have, therefore, decided that it would be in the best interest of the club to suspend the 12 car events for the present time, we will also not be running the Hexham Historic and John Robson Rallies, scheduled to take place on September 29th.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the numerous competitors who have supported the 19 Wednesday night events we have run in the last 2½ years. We are pleased to have been able to introduce lots of newcomers, particularly a good number of young people, to motorsport and to have provided enjoyable and affordable fun for lots more people who have been able to participate in rallying at grass roots level.

We would particularly wish to thank that grand band of enthusiasts, the marshals, who have turned out in all weathers to help run the events, without their invaluable assistance it would not have been possible to hold the events and we are truly grateful to them all.

We shall be arranging an Awards Night, to present the trophies for the events which have been run during 2007, all participants and marshals will receive an invitation to join us for a fun filled evening and a final chance to sample the famous “Apres Rally Pies” at the Dr. Syntax.

IMPORTANT NEWS

Following the last 12 Car rally, The Summer Solstice, there were a couple of complaints to the police about the driving behaviour and speed of cars. Naturally, we find this very disconcerting and it is certainly something we do not want repeating. Certainly I have no wish to upset people, or to have to explain myself to the police, the MSA or their local RLO. It follows therefore,that all competitors on the next 12 Car must drive with the utmost consideration for the public, residents on the route and, indeed, other road users. If you come across any pedestrians, or populated areas, SLOW DOWN. We will monitor the situation on the next event and sincerely hope there will be no cause for concern.
