2005 SSRs

It seems that the Motorcycle classes have changed for next year. Did I blink and miss the discussion on the subject. I now have 2 bikes that I can't use........

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.

 

Don`t forget to let us have your news and comments at the address shown above …….

And watch the MCC web site to keep up to date with what is happening in your club.

Most members received a bumper mailing at the beginning of the week and responded promptly as MCC members usually do.

Already we have received something like 170 car entries for the Exeter Trial although motorcyclists are, as ever, much slower to dash off to the post office. Come on then, if you want an entry, and who doesn`t after such a barren year, get busy filling in that entry form. There is good news from the landowners around Tillerton who say we will be welcome while repairs are planned for both here and Slippery Sam to ease some of the roughness.

Hotel bookings for the Exeter weekend are well subscribed and lots of you have already booked for Roger`s jamboree at Newquay at Easter next. One suspects that MCC members are more socially minded than we give them credit for.

Graham Weeks reports considerable interest in the Banbury Enigma Run which replaces the Edinburgh trial on 7^th October. For many this event may be a poor substitute for the traditional trial it replaces this year but it gives us a chance to visit some interesting spots and meet up with old friends. This kind of touring event really takes us back to the MCC`s roots when the social run in company with like minded intrepid souls was the great event of the month.

As expected, enquiries about the new Class O are keeping our phones red hot. The important thing to remember is that this will constitute a trial within a trial for those who due to age, inexperience, lack of a suitable machine or just out of choice do not want to face the rigours of the real thing but still want to enjoy themselves. Already we have two motorcycle teams, mainly composed of new members, several Morgans, an experienced rider on an unlikely ancient BMW 250 and a vice president in his Ford Model A on the list. In this class there can be no pot hunting as there are no pots to win but everyone should have an entertaining and not too damaging event.

This week`s mailing told members about the Centenary Scrapbook and the MCC Christmas cards. Orders are already coming in thick and fast for both. Books will be despatched in about a week`s time when the first production batch is received from the printer and the cards will be sent out in the middle of next month – in good time for Christmas.

We hope everyone like the "New look" of Triple magazine. Our editor, Charlotte "Brazen Hussy" Blight has worked really hard on this, her first, copy but badly needs your help with contributions and photographs for future issues. If you have had an experience, been somewhere or ridden something different that you think would interest other members, please let us know.

That`s all for this week. Please let us have your comments, club news, opinions and queries by E Mail to the address shown above.
