This is a reminder that the purpose of setting up this meeting was,and still is, to provide an opportunity for members of our club, neighbouring clubs, and representatives of the organizations we are involved with, to come together and start a conversation about “The Direction of our Grass Roots Sport” and ways to come together to make its existing or new forms more attractive to both competitors and organizers.

Sorry that may sound a bit pompous, but it is clear from conversational comments and reports that there are problems with what we do now and we need to look at the future.

In early January I sent email invitations to as many local clubs, as I thought might be interested, whose emails were listed on the ASMC website, as well as to ACTC, BTRDA, MCC.  I may have missed some people but I know word has also got around, and I hope as many of you as can will come to the meeting.

The Agenda is not yet fixed but will include:-

Cooperation between Clubs

Management of The Calendar

Age profiles of both competitors and Organizers

The costs of competing

Regulations

New types of Events

MORE NEWS

One a bright note our Launceston Trial this Sunday in Lew and Eastcott Woods ( Map Ref 201/ 461846) has an entry of over 40,  which is great for a non championship event.

 If You have not entered come along and Marshall. It is a great off road day out in the woods and the Burger Van will be there all day. We even have a swimming pool at the start for the Masochistic (don’t be tempted!)

We’re sorry to announce that due to a lack of entries, we’ve had to cancel the Spry Trial 2019 which was going to take place this Sunday. Our next trial is the Launceston Trial which takes place on the 10th of February. We also hope to see everyone at the Northgate Trial which is taking place on the 31st of March.

We have been working behind the scenes of an online entry system for the website as there has been some demand for it. We will be using it for our trials going forward. We are still going to be accepting paper entries as well.

The Testing Trial is the first event we have added to the entry system which takes place in a little under two weeks.

To use the entry system follow this link https://www.lncmc.co.uk/online-entry/ and then click on the register link to register your details. You can then login and make a trials entry. Please don’t be put off by the length of the registration form as you only need to fill out the sections that are relevant to you.

Payments are accepted through Paypal but you don’t require a Paypal account to pay your entry. You can enter your card details on Paypal’s website when submitting your entry to pay as a guest.

If you have any problems using the new system then please send us an email at info@lncmc.co.uk

We have received a call for marshals from Anna Robinson who’s part of the Windwhistle Motor Club, for their Bovey Trial in April;

Windwhistle Motor Club Ltd – 12^th Bovey Down Single Venue Classic Trial

Sunday 22^nd April 2018

Bovey Down Woods, MR 192:203,912 / SY 20330 91182 / 50.714788N, 3.1298376W

In 2018, we are pleased to be able to run this non-championship event again and this year the event will be held 3 weeks after the Lands End trial.

With sections run in 3 groups, coffee breaks with onsite catering and toilet facilities, it serves well as a great social event and a great season finale for the West Country events.

However, we need marshals – we are looking for a minimum of 30 to be able to run all these sections, so if you are not planning to enter, why not make up a car-full and have a good day’s motorsport in East Devon.

Please contact me if you can come along…..
