Dear Tourists

Lindholme Classic Tour Sunday 23 August 2026

Here are the Regulations for the Tour, which again starts and finishes at RAF Snaith Museum, but with a new route.

In the Regs, you will find the link for the on-line Entries System. This generates an automatic response to your form’s submission. Confirmation follows once the Entry Fee shows up in the LMSC account as Paid.

When you make the on-line payment, please put your name in so that we can reconcile the payments with your form.

If you have any queries during June, please contact Ian Beech, because I will be away on holiday, and will be subject to the vagaries of mobile phone signals.

We look forward to seeing you in August.

Kind regards
Len Fowkes

Following on from a post on MSUK website page, I couldn’t find the ‘event finder/locator’ on their website because it is a re-direct of the Sport:80 events page which has a horribly long URL, so doesn’t show up in a website search I have now been sent a link, hope it is of some use.

Sprint & Hill Climb PPE

From ANEMMC:

——– Forwarded Message ——–
Subject: Sprint & Hill Climb PPE
From: ANEMMC Secretary <anemmcsec@gmail.com>

The following is taken from the latest Clerks’ & Stewards’ Bulletin, please circulate to your club members.

Sprint & Hill Climb – Balaclavas
Following several fires across a range of motorsport disciplines, which resulted in burns, the Sprint & Hill Climb Sub-Committee reviewed all personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements during 2025. As a result of this review, a proposal was made to introduce a mandatory requirement for flame-resistant balaclavas for competitors in Modified, Sports Libre, and Racing Cars.

This proposal was approved by the Board in June 2025, following consultation, and came into effect on 1 January 2026. However, it appears that many competitors remain unaware of this change, and organisers are therefore encouraged to help promote awareness of the requirement.

Exemptions remain in place for Standard Cars, Road Cars, and open bodywork Period Defined Vehicles.

For full details, please refer to Chapter 14, Appendix 2, Article 4.3.

Sprint & Hill Climb – PPE
From 1 January 2027, Ch.14, App.2, Art. 4.3 will require competitors in Modified, Sports Libre, and Racing Cars to wear flame-resistant shoes in compliance with Chapter 9, Article 12.4.

Competitors in Standard Cars, Road Cars, and Period Defined Vehicles must wear suitable footwear that fully covers the foot and enables adequate control of the vehicle. The use of plastic footwear (such as trainers) should be avoided.

You are encouraged to ensure that competitors are made aware of these requirements ahead of 2027 so that they can be suitably prepared.

Kind Regards,
Roy Bell.

The Border Classic – 17 May 2026

From Ian James:

Entries close tomorrow and clearly Border are not full for this event.

From: Border Classic <classic@bordermotorclub.co.uk>
Sent: 14 May 2026 09:15
Subject: Further Information – The Border Classic 2026

Good Afternoon,

Thank You for your entry for The Border Classic 2026.

Just a couple of updates ahead of the event.

Unlike previous years and as a result of our shorter route, there will be no lunch halt in this years route. We therefore recommend bringing enough refreshments to keep you going throughout your journey.

The finish & awards ceremony will be at 7 Lakes Country Park, Crowle. Food will be available from the onsite bar & restaurant should you wish to book a table.

Final instructions and Road Books will be sent in a separate email tomorrow morning. Please print these before joining us on Sunday. If you require a printed version, please request this as soon as possible as we will not have printing facilities with us at the start.

If you know of anyone who may wish to run at the event, we still have entries available, please point them in our direction!

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Kind Regards
Phil Woodcock, Helen Woodcock & Alex Flodman
