NHMC Warcop Stages 2022 – 17 April 2022 – CANCELLED

North Humberside Motor Club Limited regrets to announce the cancellation of the 2022 NHMC Warcop Stages Rally which was scheduled for Easter Sunday, 17th April 2022.

Following the unexpected death just before Christmas of Gavin Heseltine, a key member of our organising team, we have looked carefully at our manpower to run this event. In addition to the loss of Gavin, another key member of the team is not available this Easter and two other members of the team are unlikely to be available because of work commitments.

This leaves us too short of senior organisers to be able to promote an event of the quality we always strive to provide and we have decided it is better to cancel than to run a sub-standard event.

We plan to run the NHMC Warcop Stages on Easter Sunday 2023.

Fergie Fawsitt re-opening?

From Dennis Robinson:

We have heard that the Fergie might be opening again mid-March.

Before I go and start any negotiations on making any arrangements for either NHMC or BDMC to resume meetings there on our regular Thursday night slot, can NHMC members give me an indication as to whether they would again resume the noggin and natter night if the Fergie opens again.

The Bay Horse have been very hospitable but parking is dire and it is not central to our membership.

Replies to Dennis Robinson, please.

Membership renewals for North Humberside Motor Club for 2022 are now due.

Membership renewals for North Humberside Motor Club for 2022 are now due.

You can renew your membership either:

  • by filling in the on-line form on the NHMC web-site or
  • in the traditional way by printing out the renewal form, filling it in, and sending it to our Membership Secretary (Dennis Robinson).

Payment can be made by a direct transfer to the club’s bank account or by cheque sent to the Membership Secretary. We believe that the club’s bank is now charging for banking of cheques, so payment by bank transfer is much preferred.

Full details are on the NHMC web-site at https://northhumbersidemotorclub.co.uk/membership/.

If you need to contact the membership secretary, Dennis’ email address is captjd@53wellard.karoo.co.uk and his telephone number is 01482 651069.

Tyres for sale (in memory of Gavin Heseltine)

From Paul (Fred) Pattison:

I have not been a member of NHMC for some years having moved away from the area.

I am aware of the sad passing of Gavin Heseltine, I knew him through my eldest brother from his time in Young Farmers through to joining NHMC.

I have four forest tyres left over from my Mk 1 Cortina – if someone in the club would purchase them I will give the money to the British Heart Foundation in Gavin’s memory.

They are two Dunlop SP sport 165/80 r13 unused and two 165/13sportway with minimal use.
