Sounds like a good event, will see about covering it. We do change the content month on month, but if people don't let us know about events how can we cover them?

Quick update: Want to run the rally feature but the organisers seem reluctant to let us do it!!!
Still interested in the Central 'gathering' but not sure how many attendees there will be - any updates Lloyd?

Two other events on this weekend if you wanted to do a motorsport feature, thats the Malcolm Wilson Rally in Cumbria on Saturday (forest event) and Roskirk Stages in Wigan, Lancs (on Sunday) (Sealed Surface event), but the AGBO above will be better. Im on the case for better contacts for you Dan

Fear not, got hold of the events secretary, and it's all good to go!

Apparently they have a staff photographer who sells his pics on to the competitors, and all other photography is banned! After a bit of persuasion they agreed to let us come along. Not quite sure what we'll get out of it (not everyone wants to get in a mag) but fingers crossed it will be a good 'un.

Cheers for your help Tony (and Lloyd!) tis much appreciated!

Yes Chris.

Bit of a historic event really, first time ever a junior catagory has been issued a permit to enter an event.

There will be a class for 14 year olds and up !! Mainly running 1.0l Nissan Micra rally cars (in fact I think half the event is under 1300cc vehicles lol)

Should either be fun or carnage

Good Luck with the feature Dan Look forward to it.
