Good afternoon,
Please pass on to any of your club members who you feel may benefit from the attached information.
A new closed roads stage rally that includes classic south Yorkshire night rallying roads will take place in October 2023. The White’s Bakery Penistone, South Yorkshire Stages Rally was launched last weekend at the Penistone agricultural show, where the organising team from Sheffield and Hallamshire Motor Club had a stand to publicise the event.
The rally is scheduled to consist of two loops of four stages using minor roads around Penistone and the East Pennines, with a further run through two stages to the northwest and southwest of Penistone. They will include roads formerly used on well-known local road rallies such as the Moorlands and Meadows, the Jackson Trophy and The Rally of the Dams.
Sheffield and Hallamshire MC already run two successful single venue rallies at Leconfield, near Beverley. However, the Penistone, South Yorkshire Stages will be their first foray into a closed roads event.
Clerk of the Course, Stephen Ritchie, and his team made sure they had support from the local MP and councillors before they began major planning. He explained “We invited Miriam Cates (MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge) to attend Beverley Motor Club’s East Riding Stages in February. She was very impressed with the professional way rallies are organised, as well as recognising the economic advantages for the area. We are really pleased that Miriam is so interested and enthusiastic, because it gives us confidence to press on and make sure the event runs successfully.”
