: Last Updated: 23 October 2024 23 October 2024

The final entry numbers for Marks Tey on the 3rd November was 59 Solos and 8 Sidecars. Unfortunately this does not make the meeting financially viable.

In simple terms this will result in a loss to the club of around £1200.The meeting is therefore cancelled.

All entry fee refunds will be made by the AMCA.

The next meeting is being planned for April 2025.

Please try to make the AGM which will be early 2025.

We were blessed with good fortune throughout the preparation and running of last weekends meeting. Fortunate in that we had an enthusiastic work party assemble on Saturday who threw themselves at erecting the track and also a passionate chairman. He journeyed all the way home to collect his tractor and bowser and then spent the evening and early morning damping down the bone hard ground. Boy didn’t it make conditions far more enjoyable for competitors and spectators alike. Even Di came out of retirement to welcome a host of visitors keen to witness proceedings.

Dave Savill had organised nine marshals for us prior to the occasion so, come nine thirty the Chief Marshal was giving out his instructions and Practise was underway around 9.45.

Racing commenced with all classes keenly contested throughout the first session. The John Waylett trophy went to Ray Wood aboard his Challenger with Steve Billot second and a young upstart by the name of Pete Griffiths third. Most fitting as, like the patron of the Trophy who owned one, he was aboard a Maico.
