Subject: Marshals Please! – 2022 Rex Pet Hotel Flying Fortress Stages – Sunday 12th June
The 2022 Rex Pet Hotel Flying Fortress Stages is running on Sunday 12th June 2022.
Once again, the event is based at its unique venue, the former WW2 American 8th Air Force Base at Grafton Underwood (near Kettering in Northamptonshire) on the private estate of Boughton House.
This estate has very limited public access, spectators will not be permitted, and we are using some newly-discovered bits of the old airfield to keep the crews on their toes!

Kielder Forest Rally, Saturday 18th June.
I’ve been asked to run the Bewshaugh stage on this years Kielder Forest Rally on Saturday 18th June.
I need help in lots of ways, but especially with timing, in stage-marshals and radio marshals.
The stage is just over 8 miles long with 18+ locations to cover. The entrance is just North of Kielder village and will be run twice as stages 2 + 5 with first car times of 10:25 and 15:12. Signing on will be sometime around 07:30 – 08:00 and we’re expecting the sweeper car around 17:00. We’ll supply you with the usual crisps, chocolate and water plus whatever the event organisers come up with.
If you can help please get in touch via phone call or text message on 07792375371 or email me on fasttony28@gmail.com and let me know what role you fancy and roughly how many of you there will be. The event is also using a tracking system similar to rallitrak so if anybody would to have a go on a radio that hasn’t done so before let me know, full instructions will be given.
Any questions please ask.
Thanks
Tony Jones
Sheffield & Hallamshire Leconfield event – co-driver wanted – 1 May 2022
From John Dixon:
As I appear to have secured a run on the Sheffield and Hallamshire Leconfield event (May 1st), I now require a co- driver, Qualifications in order of importance,
1) A sense of humour,
2) Current safety kit, overalls helmet HANS, etc. and licence,
3) Know left from right (your way, my way, might do),
Still lots to do to car still working on it, need to sort car passport, etc., so a start is not 100% certain but thought I would put request out now.
Many thanks,
John Dixon.
