I’ll plan to be out with the camera at Curborough Saturday afternoon. Gives me a good excuse to give the car a run out before the Borders the weekend after.

Is the rally finishing in the centre of Chester on Sunday, 10th and if so, what time are the cars expected?

There was mention of over seventy five entries a couple of weeks ago by HERO.

Does anyone know what time the tests are at Chivenor in Braunton and Woolacombe Holiday Park?

And if these venues are open to spectators?

I assume Chivenor is going be a secure venue being a RAF base?

Catch up with you somewhere tomorrow Steve!
