Classical Gas Christmas Quiz 2011 Question 3

Same as Q2. I would like to know When, Where and Who, and all about the car as well. I know some of the answers but not all so you could be adding to the history of the sport! This is a different type of question to the first one. I don't plan to respond until Boxing day evening, leaving respondents to confirm or challenge their co-competitors answers!

Independent Panel On Forestry Progress Report

As many followers of this site are involved in the use of forests either through our sport or for recreation and have also had input in the debate on forestry use, some may be interested in the Progress Report published recently.

We in Fell Side Auto Club make extensive use of Forestry land for the Northern Trial and if that was curtailed we simply would not have a competition. Over the years we have built up a teriffic working relationship with local Forestry representatives and indeed one in particular has actually found us new sections in the past such is his understanding now of our requirements.

To keep our trial, and others, going that use forestry land we need entries. Please try your very best to enter the Northern Classic Trial on the 18th February 2012. We cater for all classes including Class O and bikes and would love to see old faces and new. February will see three brand new sections and the return of one or two from the past but tweaked to keep you on your toes!!!

Camel Classic

Not that is was muddy on the Camel Classic today !

Welcome to Tom Jones

Hi Michael. Ive just joined your classical gas group under the user name TJEngineering. My name is Thomas Jones. I trialed a blue MK1 escort a few years ago. I am looking to get back into trialing. I really want a class 8 special but am finding it hard to find one, could you help me with this. I am also thinking about building one myself if nothing comes along. My Dad Martin Jones converted the green Dingo to classic trials many years ago. And my brother drove it to the championship before he sold it to the late Peter Fear. Ive been racing for the last few years, being lucky enought to drive some very special cars in historic racing. But I do love trialing. If there is any thing you can help me with please dont hesitate to contact me. Thanks Tom

Blue Hills Mine

If you havent seen it yet, Blue Hills Mine is the MSA Magazine Readers Awards Venue of the Year. Never been there myself but what will that do for the publicity of Classic Trialling amongst MSA members? Brilliant news and a nice write up in the magazine.

Changes in 2012 Blue Book

As a former business colleague once said "I remain confused but after this clarification my confusion is at a higher level". Now I think I know what this was meant to say but I am not sure if this says it.

Red is new. Strikeout is removed from old.
