Thursday Night Grass Field Driving Tests

Due to the wonderful weather we have had recently, we are going to start the Thursday night Grass Field events on Thursday 24th May, starting at 7pm.

They will then run throughout the summer.

We are keeping the costs the same as last year, and for newcomers, this is designed to test your car handling skills on a grass field by following a set route. The field is suitable for a normal car, so most cars are ok to have a go. We do insist though that the car is Taxed and MOTed, so you must be able to drive the car to the event.

Any questions please contact Stafford, (See contact page for numbers)

Air Ambulance e-Petition

We all in Motorsport hope we never need the use an Air Ambulance, but it is a service that we all know is there when we need it, it is only there because of the hard work of everyone who raise the £1.4 million a year to keep it flying over Somerset and Dorset. All Air Ambulances receive no direct Government or National Lottery funding, every penny they use is from donations. The UK Government do not allow the Air Ambulance Services to be exempt from duty on the fuel they use, they do for (RNLI) Lifeboats. Please spend a few minutes and complete the (Government) e-petition, if they gain 100,000 signatures, Parliament is duty bound to debate the issue, but don’t stop when they reach 100,000, help ensure our UK Government feel under pressure to put this right and allow them to be exempt from duty on the fuel they use, which is key to them providing this service, which is free to you when you need it.
Click here to add your name to the e-petition.
