Club visit to Carrosserie, Barnard Castle, May 2012

A very pleasant hour or so was spent in the company of one of the partners of the business, Dick Francis.

Dick took us around and introduced us to everything from an everyday run about of an MGB to one of only five Lea Francis in the world.

Tour of Hamsterley

A fair turn out on a windy and cold day in what must have been one of the most exposed locations for a control the club have had to do.

Pirelli International/Tour of Cumbria/Pirelli Historic/Pirelli Challenge/Land Rovers Rally - April 2012

Thanks to all those who turned up to help run the start/arrival controls for Archys Rigg.

Yet another quality Hadrian Product, in the words of one Mr Jackson.

Charlie reports that he, Graham Lamb and Graham Nichol had a "fun" if a bit busy day setting out the timing gear with Vaughan Alcock.
The day started when the alarms sounded at 03:45 and finished around 23:00 after having a beer or two at the Twice Brewed.

Border Counties 2012

After the damp Friday before which was a test day close to the Pennine Way and Forest Drive in Kielder, Saturday dawned bright and sunny which is always a blessing for the marshals.

Quinton Stages Rally, July 2011

Builth Wells, Mid Wales.
Gareth Vickers (HMC member)/Martyn Vickers.
Peugeot 205 1.6 Gti (205 challenge spec)

Things didn’t get off to best of starts for this event, the alternator packed in on the tow vehicle on the way down and we only just made it to the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells for scrutineering! The 205 didn’t let us down though and sailed through scrutineering and we once again camped at the scrutineering venue to save some pennies. The failure of the mighty Hilux Surf meant we would be using Martyn’s Alfa 137 (Ed - 137?) for management service duties which was far from ideal.

Plains Rally, May 2011

Welshpool, Mid Wales.
Gareth Vickers (HMC member)/Martyn Vickers.
Peugeot 205 1.6 Gti (205 challenge spec)

This was our first event since October 2009 and as such the aim for the event was to take it steady and build up the speed as the event went on, sadly plans to start the year on the Mid-Wales stages in March had to be abandoned due to a broken wrist sustained while playing football! Once again my elder brother Martyn had agreed to sit along side in the silly seat, no doubt trying to loose his nickname of ‘sensible Martyn’.
