As a club recognised by
Motor Sports Association (MSA) for the organisation of motoring events we
are having to apply to the equivalent body in France (FFSA) for
authorisation to run the event there. The MSA doesn't think there should
be a problem. A number of events, using competitive sections, have been
run by other organisations (from the UK) without permission. This has
given rise problems and complaints and as a consequence of this certain
areas of the route may need to be changed.

Newsletter 4 has been
published and sent to all entrants, also available

A reminder - next payments
are due at the end of May.

owner since 1963 with mini friends in the UK and Canada.
