December 2009
On the 5th we had a very successful christmas dinner and raffel at the old smokee. A huge thankyou to all our sponsors who kindly donated prizes towards our raffel.
£435 was raised for charity, C.L.I.C and Devon air ambulance.

On the 13th we had our Chrismas fancy dress trial at Alstone farm. The day was yet again dry but very cold! At dinnertime we were treated to another of old man and old women Roberts BBQ we also had soup and plenty of tea. There were also lots of nibbles and cakes. The best fancy dress truck was awarded to Bill with his SJ and tree! And the best fancy person went to Tony, nice hair. The short wheel base trial was lead by Joe and the long wheel base was lead by Ryan, well done to you both. Our thanks to everyone who helped especially Darren and Ryan for there help cleaning the trucks on there departare and the toilet.

The committee would like to remind its members that all vehicles attending club events and organised activites, must be road legal. Or transported on a trailer towed by a road legal vehicle.

The club has purchased a new marquee, this will be brought along to club events to provide us all with the necessary shade at lunch time! Where we can all enjoy the free BBQ provided by the club and cooked for us by Mr & Mrs "old man" Roberts.
These things are only available because of the fantactic support of our members!!!

Online Update, August 08

Hello everyone and welcome to the second newsletter !!!

Well as you are well aware we have just had the monthly natter @ the Halfmoon......with a twist, thanks go to all involved in setting that one up,and to the kind people from the Halfmoon for letting it all happen (and the chap in the kitchen) !!!! I will add feedback here as and when it arrives.

Competitions !!!!!!! It has been mentioned in dispatches (Nick told me to do it) that the monthly web competition should rear it's head again, so this is going to be happening within the next few days. It will be along the lines of close up pictures of parts....you guess it first - you win, or of places...you guess it first - you win, depending on how I get on blagging them there will be prizes, some will be good prizes, some may be naff, we will have to wait and see, and fianally on this subject. . . . . my decision is final !!!

Feedback. Please keep your feedback on the club and it's activities coming in, we know it's been a bit slack on the trials and offroad events so far this year but this has been out of anyones control due to the weather turning both sites into a mire, new sites are hopefully going to be available in the not to distant future.

Could we remind all of you that it's membership renewal time !! these funds are what pay for the MSA affiliation & Insurance for the club.....One of the main benefits membership brings is cheaper events !!!!

As you all may know.... the weather ruined any plans for the Steam Fair !!! But those of us who went across the border to Wales had a good few days laning - some of the lanes and routes we followed where pretty special ! one thing we did notice was that there wasnt a shortage of sheep.......or trees in certain areas.......or reservoirs. Between us we took hundreds of piccies, some of which are on Flickr.

A word from the General

Hi folks,  just a short note we have come so far now with regular laning sessions and our first event at Haldon woods not forgetting the excellent time at Torbay steam fair  and what a good start we’ve had.

There has also been some new faces on the scene that is pleasing to see, but as a club we need to pull together and keep the momentum up. It doesn’t matter how daft it sounds, run it by us, send a letter to Nick for the website with any ideas or photo, or if you just fancy a 'get together' (thinking session) as we need input to keep it all going.




Hi, I would like to say thank you for all the people who turn up on sunday for our trial . As you know the day went well and every body seamed to get around the sections with out any damage unless your the owner of a white disco {nick} and got a brother that likes hammers!
I was pleased with the facted that every one got around and most people got a clear {0} which made all the members happy,
and as for me no broken landy``but muddy o yes lovely mud.
and as for the hicup after dinner well it was nice to see everybody working so well together and things being done in the right way !
So thank you everybody and ill see you all very soon

Dave, events officer 14-11-07
