B-Series registration for Skye is now open! Click here to book your place for the 'Blokart-parking display-team' event of the year! If you're thinking of going please get your accommodation sorted quickly; it's a very popular time and it's getting harder to find a room! -Don't forget it coincides with the Bank Holiday and half-term so a great chance for a break in a beautiful part of the UK!

New 'Club Days' at Aston Down 2nd Saturday of each month: more details here. Please contact Chris Selway prior to attending to get more details as it is an active airfield.

Congratulations to all, especially to John Gillborn for his 2nd in Super-Heavy Production in the North Americans; Lachlan Wright for getting 3rd in the Juniors and Chris Selway for getting 3rd in Heavy Production in the World's. Well done also to Tim S(p)eed who missed the podium by just one point.
