Race and Speed Forum to be held again at the VSCC Winter Driving Tests this December
Wednesday 06 November 2013
The Club will again be holding its annual End of Season Race and Speed Forum alongside our Winter Driving Tests event, taking place on Saturday 7 December at St George’s Barracks, Bicester, Oxfordshire. The Forum will begin at 11.30am in the Lecture Hall on site.
This is your chance to give feedback on the 2013 calendar of Race, Sprint and Hill Climb events and also to put forward any suggestions for these disciplines for next year and beyond. Tell us what you think of the venues, meetings and organisation all in an open forum style meeting. Everyone is welcome, seasoned competitors, marshals or those who are just starting out – so please come along and tell us what you want from the events organised by your Club.
2013 marks a significant milestone for our much-loved Winter Driving Tests as it will be the final time that long-standing organiser Malcolm Elder will act as Clerk of the Course. After 36 years and five different venues, Malcolm will be handing the reins over to his son Mark following this year’s Driving Tests, aptly named “Swansong”. He is sure to provide another stellar set of themed tests that will be the usual blend of challenge and enjoyment so we hope to see a bumper entry of competitors, marshals and spectators out to join in the celebrations for one of the Club’s loyal supporters!
In addition to the Forum, Race and Speed competitors will also be pleased that once again our VSCC doctors and helpers will be in attendance at the Winter Driving Tests for MSA medicals, a long-standing Club tradition now in its 24th year. There is no need to book a medical, simply turn up at St George’s Barracks with your body, your licence application form and your cheque book. A choice of a Forces charity or Practical Action will be the beneficiaries of the fee of £75.00 – those of you that pay tax will be asked to complete a ‘gift aid’ declaration as well so that the charity can claim the tax on your donation.
MSA stress test ECGs can be performed at Kettering General Hospital ECG Department for a fee which remains at £100. The welcome extra donation of cash on top of this has been used to buy a television and other equipment to keep patients happy. Telephone the ECG Department on 01536 492485 for an appointment. The test is often during the lunch hour of the technicians; a report written at the same time will be available.
Bonhams are kindly donating champagne in a free raffle for medical candidates and marshals.
