Training Session in 2021
The Association of North East and Cumbria Car Clubs (ANECCC) are pleased to advise that they are planning a number of Motorsport UK Marshal Training sessions using the Zoom Platform.
The sessions will take place each month on a Wednesday evening commencing in April, at a reasonable time of 7pm and will last mainly two hours with some needing to last a little longer to cover the module syllabus. Continue reading “On-line training from ANECCC”
From John Newlove:
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the non-availability of parts of the venue because of electrical work on the transmission lines during April we have decided to run the Lookout Stages later in the year rather than on our traditional April date.
Hence we are intending to run this year’s Lookout on Sunday July 11th, Government and Motorsport UK regulations permitting.

From Simon & Kathy Rolph, Eastwood & District Motor Club’s Chief Marshals:
Just wanted to drop you all a quick update on the Harold Palin Memorial rally scheduled to take place at Fulbeck airfield on Sunday 2nd May 2021.
At the moment we are still intending to run the event as planned, however, like the rest of the country we are eagerly awaiting the Prime Minister’s updates on how and when lockdown restrictions will be lifted and what this means for running rally events.
As and when we have more information we will share it with you and will be sending out requests for staffing as soon as we know more.
Thank you for being supporters of the Eastwood and District Motor Club events and if you have any questions, please just ask!
Hopefully we can all get to take part in some safe and much needed motorsport this year.
Take care everyone and I’ll be in touch again soon.
Kindest Regards
Simon and Kathy

Subject: Non Motorsport UK Event – Harogate April 2021
It has come to our attention that a non Motorsport UK group are intending to organise a rally style event based in Harrogate on 9th to 11th April 2021.
North Humberside Motor Club Ltd regret to announce that for the second year running we have to cancel the NHMC Warcop Stages. The 2021 event was scheduled to run on Easter Sunday, 4th April 2021.
Press comments (and some government statements) appear to suggest that vaccination of the top 4 priority groups will be completed some time in February and that 3 weeks after that there may be some relaxation of the current restrictions (the legislation for the current lockdown in England has an ending date of 31st March 2021). That suggests that the earliest that restrictions may be relaxed will be mid-March. Previous restrictions have generally been extended which does not give us any confidence of the quoted dates being achieved.
The organising team have not been on the Warcop Military Training Area since the event at Easter 2019 – we need to see the ranges to check out our proposed stage routes. We cannot do that whilst the current restrictions are in place. Then after we have designed stages, the subjective route notes provider would need access to the Warcop Military Training Area to prepare subjective route notes and the Safety DVD.
The time-scales just do not work.
The combination of an available date for the ranges and access to our rally HQ means that it is not possible to re-schedule the event to later in 2021.
We remain hopeful that restrictions may be relaxed sufficiently to allow NHMC’s running of the John Overend Memorial Stages Rally on 30th May 2021 and the NHMC Cadwell Stages on 21st November 2021.
