Chairman's Chat th What a great night it was - the SD34 MSG 2015 Awards Presentation Evening on 12 February. Sincere thanks to the organisers at Clitheroe & District MC, our excellent guest speakers, two of whom, Simon Bowen and Nigel Worswick joined Aaron Newby at very short notice, Ian Grindrod who ran an interesting and of- ten funny forum, everyone who not only attended but also brought a stack of raffle prizes, all those who bought raffle tickets which generated almost £200 towards the costs and to Gary Heslop who once again organised all the trophies. Again congratulations to the award winners and I was pleased to see that most of the winners were in attendance to collect their trophies. The 2016 season is now under way and the first scores are included inside. There is still plenty of time to regis- ter for the championships at just a £5 for everything (free for the Marshals Championship) so get a form complet- ed and sent in and you could be picking up a trophy at the 2016 Presentation Evening.

Trophies Galore! Club members Kris Coombes, Louis Baines and Alan Barnes scooped awards at the SD34 MSG presentation evening. Kris won the novice road rally navigator award, Louis the novice road rally driver trophy and Alan placed third overall and second expert road rally navigator. The club also picked up an award for Matt Kendall for first novice stage rally navigator. Alan has had a busy time of it in February as he also won Garstang and Preston Motor Club’s champion road rally navigator and stage rally co-driver awards, won the Kirkby Lonsdale Motor Club A.I. Harrison Road Rally Championship first overall road rally navigator trophies and has also placed third overall in the ANCC Road Rally Championship for 2015. Calling All Road Rally Newcomers! Alan also presented an Introduction to Road Rallying evening for young and not so young members (see pic- ture pg. 6)) who, having had a taste of motorsport through the club’s very successful autosolos, have de- cided they want more and fancy having a go at road ral- lying. It was a successful and informative night with 30 mem- bers joining the session where explanations were given about basic map reading, basic reference plotting, route delineation, NAMs, blackspots, quiet zones and what they mean, the equipment you need to avail yourself of for your first event, and the importance of working as a team with the driver (drivers please note!).
