Org Jon Smith
Hi Folks,
Next Friday evening you can escape the hustle and bustle of Cheltenham Races and enter our 12 car event.
Using some fantastic lanes around the Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire border area you are guaranteed fun.
We have to add that none of the route being used compromises the route of the Three Shires Stages to be held six months today.
Bring your maps 149 and 150 along (any recent versions) and you are guaranteed to use lanes you’ve never been down before.
Starting from Redmarley Village Hall at 8pm prompt – you are welcome to join us there from 6.30pm onwards.
Time control marshals are also required so please let us know if you are willing to help out that way.
The results will be back at the Hall where soup and fine ale etc will also be available – though this isn’t the Final TC point!
Look forward to seeing your names on that entry list!
Cheers
Jeff & Josh Wheeler
Three Shires Stages
Saturday 7th September 2019
The Organising Committee are now pleased to announce that, after 13 months of hard work and determination, we have now been issued an organising permit by Motorsport UK.
The rally will be based at the Eastnor Deer Park near to the town of Ledbury with special stages spread across the three counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. There will be three loops of six different special stages, 18 stages all together, totalling approximately 47 stage miles and 80 liaison miles.
We are pleased that the response from both the public and councils on the route has been nothing but positive. We are now committed to ensuring this event is a huge success.
Entries will open around Mid-June and Marshals Registration will open in the next few days/weeks.

Entries Open – Early February
Hi All,
Firstly a big thank you to all the Marshals that turned out in unpleasant weather Tim, Rich C and Paul, Phil and Liz, Gaff and Dave and Doreen (who also spent all afternoon putting out code boards and working around road closures).
Thanks also to all who entered. We were a little worried when the heavy snow started on the first section but fortunately the weather improved as the evening wore on.
We had some last minute route changes due to 3 road closures but all went OK in the end, We hope you enjoyed it. We needed to be tight on lateness and strict on OTL to get to the results venue before closing time.
Congratulations to Martin and Adam who only missed 3 code boards despite all those LWT’s. Congratulations also to Kev and Rich and Dave and Emily for a well fought event. We know that Kamila was disappointed at the finish, but guys you put up a tremendous result on Novice instructions on only your third event and judging by the conversation between Wictor and Martin at the finish, Wictor will learn a lot from this event and undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with in the future. Well done also to Josh and Ollie on the finish and sticking with it on this their first event.
Commiserations to Phil and Nick and especially to Andrew and Hilary who retired just a few miles before the finish control. I hope you’re feeling better today Hilary take some Stugeron 15 next time out!
The next round is on Friday 15th February organised by Jon Smith details to follow.
