AGM happening soon. The venue for the next AGM will be the Allerford near Norton Fitzwarren. ALL paid up club members welcome. Its your chance to have a say on whats happening with the club AND the perfect opportunity to join the committee and have a direct input into the clubs activities. Last year it was suggested that we need to do more with the clubs website. Sadly there were no volunteers to do this. This is a request in advance of the AGM…. If you have a few hours a year to help out it would be gratefully accepted. I would like to expand our social activities but i cannot do this without help so again if there is anyone out there who would be prepared to come on the committee. The meetings are once a month for about an hour on the third Monday of the month.
The plan for the AGM is to hold the meeting from 8pm again should be no more than 45 mins after which there will be a FREE BUFFET followed by the awards presentation from the Winter series. If all who can attend let me know so i can order the right amount of food for the BUFFET. As usual message me on facebook or text/phone on my usual number 07980 239730.

TAUNTON MOTOR SHOW
Taunton Motoring club have a stand (54) at the racecourse on Sunday. Come along and support Stafford and crew. Its the perfect opportunity to promote our club to the public. Especially with the number of disciplines the club is involved in. The club caravan will be there along with a selection of vehicles. The weather outlook is good for Sunday. With it being a FREE ENTRY, I would expect a high turnout of the public. For more details contact Stafford Coombes. 07855 663115.
Somerset Stages 2016
Would like to say a real big thanks to all who came out and marshalled last Saturday on Knowle. A really good response from club members both young old and in bewteen. With all the new regulations that had come out in recent months, it had put massive pressure on the organisors to make sure that the event ran within those new rules. They deserve congratulations in putting on a successful event when it would have been very easy to say not to bother, which could have seen the premiere stage rally in the south west fall by the wayside. I think we were reasonably lucky with the weather as I did hear that there had been snow on Chargot and Kennisham.
There was some serious bits of kit out there nothing more so than club members Martyn and Dawn England in their Ford Fiesta R5. Just missing out on a podium finish by 3 seconds. Well done to them. I’m sure they will only get quicker with the rewards that comes with that.
Once again folks thanks again for your help and support.
At the recent AGM it was discussed that we weren’t making best of our Website. So if you have reports from events you have competed in or events you are organising, email them to me so we can post them on here as well as the Facebook page.
The Summer field tests start again shortly keep an eye out here and the Facebook page for the dates and times
