From Robert Newlove:
Seeing as the weather forecast has not improved and 50 mph winds and rain forecast, I have decided to postpone the Autotest planned for Sunday .
I will try and arrange another date.
From John Newlove:
Although I hope everyone who volunteered to help will get an email from me , just to let everyone know that due to the adverse weather forecast on the advice from the Forestry Commission the Riponian has been cancelled.

Ladies and Gentlemen
It is with great regret that I have to inform you of the death of Tony Raylor, after a sudden short illness Tony succumed to heart failure while spending the winter, with his wife Carole, in South Africa.
Tony who entered many international rallies in the 60’s was Chairman of York Motor Club organising many of York’s National Rallies in the 70’s, he will be sadly missed on the Yorkshire / Jaguar classic car scene.

John Newlove adds:
I’m sure quite a few of the older generation will remember Tony. He was a regular at the Sutton Classic Car show.
In the days of our Rallies starting at garages in Hull Tony’s company Raylor Scaffolding used to provide a start ramp made of scaffolding.
From Robert Newlove:
Just a reminder that the next Autotest is a week on Sunday, I have not heard from anyone, so please let me know if you are coming
From John Newlove (NHMC’s Chief Marshal):
Ian Sadofsky has once again been asked to run a test on the Flying Scotsman Rally.
We have been asked to run two tests on Melbourne Airfield on Saturday 4th April Provisional timings are 08.00-13.00
An appeal from LARA (the Motoring Organisations’ Land Access and Recreation Association) posted on behalf of GLASS (the Green Lane Association):
No matter where you live almost every green laner and trail rider has heard of Happy Valley, Carn March Arthur, The Wayfarer and Horseshoe. These are some of the most iconic green lanes in the UK, but damage has been caused by those who choose to act outside the responsible green laning community. This, coupled with the impact of weather and water erosion, has left local authorities with some hefty repair bills they simply cannot cover – so we need to take steps to bring these important routes back to their former glory.
From Robert Newlove:
Regulations are now available for the February Autotest.
Thanks to Ken and The One Point for sponsoring the event.
Tests designed by Dave Short.
From John Newlove:
With the Riponian now only a month away I am reminding people that we are running Cropton stage twice on this event on the Sunday 9th February.
Looking at the provisional Time Schedule the first car on the first run which is SS 2 will be about 10.20 with a stage ready time of 9.20. so would expect provisional signing on time of 08:00 till 08:45. (This will have to be confirmed) The first car on the 2nd run which will be SS 4 will be around 13.15
Thanks very much for all those who have volunteered to help already if this is you.
Full reporting instructions will be sent out nearer the event.
John Newlove
Stage Commander Cropton
