Nick Wollett asks if anyone knows about Classic Trials that have been held in his part of the world (Kent, Surrey and Sussex).

BTRDA Gold Star Final

Bristol Motor Club are hosting the Championship Final on Saturday 15th January at the Fedden trial venue in Dyrham Woods, a couple of miles from the Allen Start. If you would like to see the Top Sporting Trials Drivers in action why not come along and help marshal. Drop me an Email if you would like further details.

Check out the ACTC Web Site. Pat has up-rated it and it now loads quicker. I can't remember the URL. There's a link over on the Classical Gas Web Site.

Pictures(s) of Sporting Trial Cars

Hi everyone,
Stimulated by my recent article on "JABS" I have received a very nice contribution about Sporting Trials for Classical Gas. However, it doesn't have any pictures. Does anyone have any pictures of a modern Sporting Trials car they could e-mail me.
I have searched the net to little avail. (I found two, but neither are really what I want aws one is quite old and the other from New Zealand and the driver is wearing a crash hat!). One source could be the MSA  bulletin when they put in pictures to illustrate the championship table. However, I have thrown all mine away!

Exeter

Hi everyone,
Great to get the Exeter stuff thru' yesterday. It reminds me of how little time there is to get the car ready! Can I put in a plug for marshals. Anyone who would like to marshal would be welcome to join the Falcon Motor Club team on Clinton near Sidmouth.
Clinton sarts around 2 am so you can be home for a late breakfast if you live locally.
If you would like to join the Falcon team on Clinton contact Arnold Lane on his wife Andrea's e-mail andreajlane@hotmail.com

Links ?

Hi everyone,
I'm just about returning to the land of tyhen living after being knocked back with just about the worst flu I've ever had. Fever, bad dreams the lot!
Anyway, I've been very inactive on the Web for a week or so.
One thing I do want to do is update the links over on the Classical Gas Web Site. Has anyone they think would be interesting to trails bods, Classic, Bike, PCT or Sporting? including old car or bike sites.
It is also possible to post links here but I'm not sure if members can do this themselves or if I have to.
Members can cerrainly post "Recommendations".

Exeter 1989

Thanks John Salter, I did not remember the name as I posted the photo in the album.Digging through my route cards it was GreenLanes in 1990 and then back to Tipley in later years. The map of old town wood recalls that wickedly slippery lane that we used to descend. But not as bad as the tarmac lane that was covered in ice about three years ago- John Beaumont measured his length several times over down it and had to be checked over - after the finish of course as he is such a hard case! Watch out for him in his mid engine RS400GT RIALTO in the Exeter!
