Bridlington Weekend of Motoring 2021 – Change of date

We have recently become aware that the planned Car Craze Driffield 2021 is on the same weekend as the Bridlington Weekend of Motoring, and to avoid both events being on the same weekend, we have decided to change the date of the Bridlington Weekend of Motoring to one week later than originally planned.

The Bridlington Weekend of Motoring 2021 will now be on 18th and 19th September 2021.

Car Craze Driffield – 11/12 September 2021

An email that NHMC’s Secretary has recently received:

We just wanted to personally reach out to you and let you know about our car craze event and would like to offer you the opportunity to show off some of your cars or advertise your business.

There are many parts to the event that we know you will want to be involved in, like our club stand show and shine competition that is for all car types, retro, modified, modern, classic if your car looks amazing we want to see it! The competitions include best interior / exterior, paint work, best sound systems, engines and more. There’s something for everyone from Trade Village, Caterers, Fun Fair Rides, Live Music, Bars, Camping and much much more. Featuring Guinness World Record Holder The Fastest Shed and the original General Lee.

If this sparks an interest to you the event dates are the 11th and 12th September 2021, for more details please visit https://www.driffieldcarcraze.co.uk/ or feel free to reach out to us at any time via email.

Ladies and Gentlemen

Further to my email informing you that Johnny Ruddock, well known York Motor Club member and successful Classic Rally, Mk1 Escort driver, sadly passed away peacefully in his sleep, at home, early on the morning of Thursday 19th November.

Johnny’s funeral is to take place on Thursday the 10th December, 1pm at York Crematorium. The cortege will leave The Easingwold Market place, Chapel of rest and drive via Tholthorpe (village green) and Tollerton (village green), then turn left in Tollerton to pause at Johnny’s house, Cross lanes Cottage at the Huby / Tollerton crossroad on the A19, then turning right to York. The Crematorium will be approached presumably via the A1237 York Ring Road, London Bridge and Sim Balk Lane.

Local people are planning to line the route in Tholthorpe and Tollerton and it is suggested that Johnny’s “York Motor Club” friends could show their respect outside the Crematorium, or the route to it, a turnout of competition cars would be appreciated.

December 2020 autotest cancelled

From Robert Newlove:

With there being no let up in the corona situation, and the likely hood of our area being in Tier3 after the lockdown, I have decided not to run the December Autotest. The next date scheduled is the New Year Autotest on the 3rd of January. I shall look at this a bit nearer the date.

Motorsport UK confirms the suspension of non-elite motorsport in England until early December

For anyone who has not seen it elsewhere, here is the statement from Motorsport UK issued on Monday 2nd November:

Dear motorsport colleagues,

Motorsport UK has consulted on the implications for motorsport in England with the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport in respect of the plan to enter a four-week national lockdown on Thursday 5th November.

The governing body confirms that following DCMS guidance it must suspend all non-elite motorsport until 2nd December. Selected elite events officially recognised by the DCMS, which include the British Touring Car Championship, will be permitted to continue.

Motorsport activities in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands are subject to prevailing government guidance in those devolved territories. At this time, motorsport as organised sport continues in Scotland, in accordance with Motorsport UK’s comprehensive restart guidance introduced on 4th July. Motorsport is currently suspended in Northern Ireland and Wales, as mandated by the respective devolved governments.

In respect of permits issued for non-elite events in England between 5th November and 2nd December, Motorsport UK confirms that those permits are now withdrawn. Organisers will need to reapply if they plan to hold the event at a later date.

Motorsport UK will continue to monitor the prevailing advice from the UK Government and that of the devolved nations and ensure the motorsport community is updated.

Motorsport UK would like to thank the entire motorsport community for their resilience and hard work throughout the summer months to keep motorsport running and operating safely. During the coming weeks we will be working hard to ensure that as soon as government guidance allows, motorsport can safely resume once again.

From Robert Newlove:

Please see message from the Bay Horse, looks like it is open again

Robert

 

Hi Graeme,

The latest update I have received is that only a small select number of staff have to self isolate and the pub will be back open, as normal on Thursday so the bay horse is an option for Thursday nights meeting.

Thanks again

Bay Horse, Cherry Burton – positive COVID test

From Robert Newlove:

Dear all

Please see E mail sent to Graeme Potter of Beverley & DMC. We might have to give the pub a miss for a while.

Robert

Hi Graeme,

I hope you’re well.

We’ve unfortunately had a positive Covid test at the pub, so we will be closing for a minimum of 48hours.

This may extend to 2 weeks but I will be in touch if that’s the case as you’ll need to know to inform other members of motor club.

Thanks very much.
