12 car series Round 5 – Friday 15th March

,

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

Hi All,

Round 3 of the Winter Series is just over a week away on Friday 18th January. It is being run on our behalf by Cirencecter Car Club and is also a round of their Winter Series. Please sign on at the Cheltenham Clubhouse from 18:45. The route is approximately 60 miles on Map 163 with a very short section on 162 for which a print of the area will be supplied so no need to bring 162 if you haven’t got one. The finish will be just outside Cirencester with refreshments at the Thames Head Inn afterwards. Please indicate your intention to enter via www.Cheltmc.com on the 12 Car Navigational page. There are currently 6 cars listed so places are limited to another 6. If you are a beginner planning work from a marked Map please arrive in good time to sign on and copy the route as there is a 15 minute run out to the start with first car away at 20:01.

Regards

Dave Gregory
