Northern Classic Feb 06

A fabulous day out. As well as great sections, the views were magnificent.

ACTC Dinner Dance - Put the date in your diaries

Right, this years ACTC Annual awards presentation and dinner dance will be held on Saturday 13th May.

We have reluctantly changed the location this year and brought it slightly further down into the South West. This is simply due to getting a better deal from the hotel and reducing ticket prices from last year. The location therefore will be the Holiday Inn at Taunton. It is literally just off the motorway so access is good. Room prices are significantly reduced and will be confirmed soon, and there is also a Holiday Inn Express next door where rooms are even cheaper.

Please make a note to put this in your diaries now, all are welcome although if you are not in the ACTC please contact me so I can send you details. All those who are ACTC registered will recieve invitations automatically in the next few weeks.

 

Hope to see a good turnout again so we can make it as big a success as last year.

ACTC monitoring form's

I would just like to say a big thank you to all respondents to my ACTC monitoring forms throughout the past year, however there are still a very few outstanding (Pete) and if the sheets could be returned before they crumble to dust it would be very helpfull (Nick). If you could Bolt your form to something solid next time Dick that would be most helpfull as well.

PS, many thank's for your kind comments Ian, it meant a lot.

My Cotswold Clouds

Mike Hayward and  decided to concentrate on taking pictures and trying to make a video. See http://www.classictrials.co.uk/Gas06031.htm We met up for breakfast with Dave Cook who was also taking pictures which can be found by following http://groups.msn.com/ClassicalGasForTrialsenthusiasts/general.msnw?action=get_message&mview=1&ID_Message=2633

 

We started the day at Crooked Mustard which was very dry and easily on for the 7's and 8's. The heavier saloons were more challenged and well done to those that got up. The secret isn't "keep banging the nuts together" its "drive round the step not over it".

 

Later we spent some time at Ham Mill, Merves Swerve and Climperwell, sending live reports to my blog as we went. Talked to loads of other spectating triallers including Andrew Rippon, David Heale and Nick Farmer. Everything seemed to run smoothly on the event and we were back in Bedfordshire by 18.15.

 

How was your Cotswold Clouds?
