Last Call for entries for the VSCC Eastern Rally

Monday 03 July 2017

Club Members are reminded that entries close tonight for the upcoming Eastern Rally taking place in Suffolk on Saturday 15 July.
The Eastern Rally moves 8 miles south west of Bury St Edmunds for 2017, the start and finish being at the venue of the monthly VSCC Pub Meet, The Queens Head at Hawkedon.
 
Local Club Member, Don Smith has prepared a 100 mile route, which will explore the pretty countryside and villages of south-west Suffolk, whilst the event will accommodate the usual classes of entry, catering for experts through to complete beginners.
 
As last year, the Rally will run straight through to mid-afternoon, when mine host of The Queens Head (a keen ‘petrol head’) will have an excellent lunch ready for the returning Competitors – at the request of Competitors from last year’s Rally, there will be a short pit-stop halfway through the run.
 
And don’t forget there will be also be the increasingly popular Champagne Class with a Route Book for those who prefer a less competitive day and for which any Pre-war car may be entered (no Buff Form required).
 
Start / Finish Venue: The Queens Head, Hawkedon, Suffolk, IP29 4NN
 
Entry Fee: £60 (½ Price for those Under 30 years old on 1 January 2017).
           
Closing date for entries: Monday 3 July (Midnight)
 
Minimum Competitor Age: 17 years old with full driving licence for drivers, 12 years old for navigators.
