EXETER TRIAL

Entries are still coming in well and we hear the hotel is actually full up. However there are still some dinner tickets and of course this is in an area with lots of hotels nearby.

Bookings are already heavy for the Bay Hotel at Newquay which is the finishing point for next Easter`s LANDS END TRIAL and the Ugalde travel agency seems to have taken over the next door hotel for the benefit of competitors who just want to stay the Saturday night and take part in the club supper and general merriment. The person to speak to is Anne Ugalde on 01395 597620.

FOUNDERS NIGHT.

First an apology to Derek Chatto who is organising the local event in Derbyshire for quoting the wrong telephone number in Triple. His real number is 01773 853635 His event promises to be somewhat novel with a gentle tour in the afternoon to work up a thirst for the evening. Sounds good!

John Turner

who is organising the event for the Devon/Cornwall borderers has booked dinner at 짙7.95 a head at the Wilsey Down Hotel which many of you will know as the breakfast/lunch stop on the Lands End Trial. It`s a jolly place and well MCC orientated.

INVITATIONS

First the good news. We hear that the Camel Vale Club will be running a single venue classic trial in Cardinham Woods sometime in November to which MCC will be invited. No more details at present but we`ll keep you informed.

And now the bad. The Woolbridge Club has had to cancel its Hardy Classic due to the effects of you know what.

Will we never get back to normal………… but let`s end this week on a happy note ………

RESCUED

Just when it appeared that the late Allin Panhale`s well known VW Notchback had gone to that great scrapyard in the sky we hear news that Adrian Marfell has rescued it. We don`t know what he intends for its future but if you are interested he can be found on 01989 770679. It`s always sad when a well respected car disappears so let`s hope we shall see this one in action again soon.
