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

Subject: An invitation from East Yorkshire Lotus Owners Club
Please see below. The event is on May 16th.
I would like to invite you and fellow members of your club to a gathering that we are holding at the Nags Head Routh HU17 9SL.
The Nags Head is our club meeting venue. There is a large car park. As well as the drink and food available in the pub the manager is trying to organise a Marque for the car park to also provide some additional catering..
The event is from 12.00hrs, there are no charges. We decided that to try and help the venue out as the pub trade is struggling at the moment. The manager is very accommodating to our club and is keen on cars and motoring.
Hope you can make it, always good for a chat
all the best
Stuart Admin EYLOC.

Drystone Road Rally – change of date from 5/6 September to 17/18 October 2026
From ANEMMC:
Good mornig,
Please circulate this to your club members.
The Drystone Road Rally 2026
Unfortunately we are having to change the date again of our event this year. We have been informed that a 400 strong Scout group organised Run/Hike is taking place over the weekend of 5th-6th September and through the night, crossing areas we had planned to use. So for the safety of all we have decided to move our event to the weekend of 17th-18th October.
We hope this doesn’t cause any issues and we ask that you inform your members and member clubs.
Thank you
Kind Regards,
Jason Simms

Motorsport UK Road Section Top-Up Insurance Master Policy
From ANEMMC:
——– Forwarded Message ——–
Subject: MSUK Road Section Top-Up Insurance Master Policy,
From: ANEMMC Secretary <anemmcsec@gmail.com>
Please forward to your club members.
Motorsport UK has introduced a new Road Section Top-Up Insurance Master Policy, arranged by Kingfisher Motorsport and underwritten by First Underwriting, helping competitors and officials access the minimum third-party cover required for events using the public highway, including road rallies, trials and autotests.
Developed in response to rising costs and reduced availability of cover, this is a positive step in helping keep these events accessible for our community.
A pilot will run from 1st–3rd May, ahead of a full rollout from 5th May 2026.
