Event: Nearly Boxing Day AutoTest 2021

The FDMC Nearly Boxing Day AutoTest will take place on Sunday 12th December at Rushmoor Arena.

This is an annual event where the Club provides the cars, vans, trikes and mobility scooters, and you bring along your mug and some warm clothing (the day tends to get on the cold side of cold).

Click here for the Event Regs.  Once you have read them, inwardly digested  them and can recite them from memory, you may enter the event here.  A short test will follow; you have been warned.

After entering, there comes the delight of paying for your day of fun, so be a good citizen, pop your name in the box below and click on the button to relieve your fat wallet of thirty-five of the finest British pounds:


Insert Driver Name


 

A list of your most revered, respected and revved-up competitors will eventually make its way here.    Any questions?  I doubt it but just in case the Entry Sec is Simon Taylor , contact via email.

Finally, I sincerely hope, like Brian S. below, that you end up with the Wooden Spoon as that way, it means I haven’t.

Event: The Gwyn Jones Memorial Rally 2021

From the Event Organiser, Graham Skeggs:

The Gwyn Jones Memorial Rally 2021 (12 Car) will take place on Friday 10th December.

Click here for the Regs for this year’s Gwyn Jones Memorial Rally which will celebrate its 10th Anniversary.  Starting and finishing at a local Pub very much on the ‘patch’ that Gwyn would have competed on and, in his later years with myself, organised events just like this event now, run in his honour.

Click here for the entry form, this should be completed and returned to Graham (click here to email).

Hopefully we can attract a full entry and add some more names to the list of previous winners shown below:  

2011 – Jointly between John Taylor/John Stringer & Graham Skeggs/Richard Pashley
2012 – Ken Pape & Nick Clarke
2013 – Chris Pratt & Glynn Hayward
2014 – Graham Skeggs & Nick Clarke
2015 – John Taylor & Mark Collings
2016 – John Taylor & Mark Collings
2017 – Colin Woodhouse & Matt Fowle
2018 – Mike East & Richard Pashley
2019 – Mike East & Richard Pashley
2020 – Chris Pratt & Glynn Hayward
2021 – Could it be you?

We have looked at the navigation and believe it to be more straightforward than last year and have enlisted the help of a seasoned competitor to double check.

As ever we need a small army of marshals so please put the date in your diary and come forward and offer to help. The will be a marshals draw at the finish with the opportunity to win something worthwhile.

Please feel free to pass this email on to others not on the mailing list who may be interested in competing or marshalling.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 10th.

Regards
Graham

Update: CAR-nival 21 latest

The Club has received the following update from Event Organiser, Barry Guess:

“It is with regret we advise that despite extensive efforts, we have been unable to secure any undertaking from the MoD authorities regarding full availability of the airfield at Abingdon, predominantly due to ‘delayed filming activities’ in certain areas of the venue.

Whilst certain other commercial activities will be taking place at the venue, these do not require the full use of all of the tarmac roads and as such can be accommodated within the current diary.

We must stress that whilst this has resulted in the cancellation of the potential Sprint and Autosolo events (as reduced daylight does not facilitate the required ‘change over’ activity), it is hoped that we will still be able to organise the stage rally on a date before Christmas.

To this end, we will retain the list of those who ‘registered an interest’ in the Mini CAR-nival and these people will be contacted in order to offer first refusal on the expected 100 places. Once this list has been exhausted then places will be offered to others who have pre-registered their interest.

Finally, on behalf of the hugely disappointed organising team, we thank you for your support and as they say… watch this space!

The CAR-nival Team”
