The format of the comp will be simple. You turn up in what ever you want and we will put you in a suitable class.Each class as a chance to win a trophy and there will be a prize for the most outstanding team weather they win a trophy or not. There will punches out on site 30 in all with diffrent grades of diffculty. You will receive a punch card that as coloured numbers on it. Each colour refers to the difficulty of the punch. E.g Red = very difficult. Green= easy. There will be at least three special stages that all vehicles can do. Steve LLoyd may also set up a couple of stages as well but that is yet to be confirmed. The emphases will be on fun and good sportsmanship. We will be at shottle for the weekend, but Saturday the marshalls and orginizers will be the only ones allowed on site for setting out and Sunday the 15th for the challenge.
SEE YOU THERE …………IF YOU DARE ????
Hi guys, take a look at the trophies and medals for shottle. If you want to take 1 of these beauties home, you gotta work for it!! These should be in the club, so make it happen!!
The team that shows the best ‘team spirit’ as judged by the event officials on the day will also win this genuine ‘Snap On’ beer fridge, (courtesy of Brian Machin from Stoke), complete with ice cold beer of course!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL, AND HAVE A GOOD FUN EVENT!!

Gents,
I have had several reports of poor performance on this site. Some of it is of our making as we add pictures from events and builds in progress, but people want to see them!
We are looking at the server performance, (I called the host today and get the usual call centre in India…) but there are times when it simply isn’t available at all. I could not log in to the control panel at the hosts website today, so the whole job lot was down.
The club regards this level of performance as being very serious, and we are actively looking at moving the site to another host. So, in summary, please forgive any slowness at the moment, and rest assured that we are going to fix it, by moving if necessary. This will not affect the name of the site or any posts or pictures that are currently on it.
Regards
Mark

Hi Guys,
I have been wondering what to do about our forums.
The current forum is working pretty well and is full of interesting stuff which brings people to our website.
It is also full of security holes which allows the pron peddlers and spam artists to invade our forum without our permission.
We could update it to the latest version of IPB which is $150
We could try a free forum which I have placed on here for us to try.
I’m after opinions, please leave yours below in the comment box.
