Good morning everybody and on behalf of the Club I want to wish all of you the best of the seasons greetings for Christmas 2022. This year has been one of ups and downs, we had the disappointment of having to cancel the Targa Rally which should have been held on the ranges at Catterick once again. My thanks go to David Walmsley and his team who were within touching distance of the rally running when due to operational requirements the venue was "pulled" by the MOD.
On the plus side we have had a resurgence of crews competing on a variety of rallies this year, both road and stage. The year started with Harry Walshaw co-driven by John Cunningham competing on the first ever closed road stage rally in Yorkshire, unfortunately they had an argument with a chicane and damaged the faithful little Ford Ka.  Mark Jones with his grandson Corey have finished 4th overall in the ANCC road rally championship, well done to them. Pip Coulson has continued to compete in his lovely Ford focus and Barry and Jake Briggs have been campaigning their Ford Escort MKII. Next year the club has a road rally well in the planning stage, so get the diary open and make sure you add the 29th/30th April. We will need lots of help!!
In the meantime enjoy the Christmas period with family and friends
Malcolm
