Gerry Langford - RIP
Cheltenham Motor Club is sad to announce the passing of Gerry Langford on Sunday 10th February.
Gerry had only been a member of the club in fairly recent years, many of you will remember his enthusiasm for motorsport, out marshalling on most of the our events, Summer Series, 12 Cars, Stage Rallies, as well as Prescott and representing Cheltenham Motor Club at Rally Wales GB, and of course you will remember the cakes.
Gerry had been assistant chief marshal on the Get it Sideways Stages Rally for a number of years, he also did the same for Cirencester Car Clubs Corinium Stages.
He will be missed. Our thoughts are with his family, Glynis & Matt

The Winter Series is made up of navigational events, no car modifications are needed, ideal for novices and experts alike. We offer training to those new to the sport.
The Summer Series is made up of Motor Gymkhana’s, Autotests & Treasure Hunts, again you can use your ordinary car, some of the events are even free to enter.

Our Motorsport events are run according to the rules of the UK’s Governing body – Motorsport UK
Social
The Clubhouse and Bar is open every evening, and all day Saturday. Plus extended opening for selected F1 Grand Prix and some other international sporting fixtures. The main social nights are Friday & Saturday. Many local people have joined the Club as Associate members, they enjoy the range of Real Ales, the atmosphere and the cheaper prices. (Anyone visiting the Club on more than 3 occasions will be asked to join as an Associate member). A regular annual event is our Wheel Ale Festival
Over the last few years we have gained a good reputation for our Real Ales & Ciders. We have received many CAMRA awards. In both 2013 and 2017 we were awarded the prestigious CAMRA National Club of the Year.
We also stock real cider and a range of wines. CAMRA members welcome, local CAMRA groups sometimes have meetings at the Club.
We have our own Darts and Pool teams in the Cheltenham Leagues, plus have our own cycling and walking groups.
Other local groups meet at the Club, Drag Racers, Motorbike Trials, Scramble and Enduro Clubs, local home brewers, plus a couple of cycling groups and The Hash House Harriers. We have a couple of rooms that we can make available for meetings.
The Magic Bus outings visit local pubs and breweries, usually on a Tuesday evening once a month during the summer months. During the winter months we occasionally have longer trips on a Saturday, for example: beer festivals or Black Country pub tours. The trips are very popular. Book early to avoid disappointment.
