MSCC Trial – Sunday 20 March 2016
Another balmy 'summer's' day at Forrestburn with the usual suspects present plus some very welcome newcomers. Dry conditions meant low scores and tight competition in the various classes. Results will follow and be typically incomprehensible as usual! Meanwhile here...

Who Needs Ascot?
Because of its proximity to Hallowe'en, the November Trial now has a tradition of being 'silly hat day' and to the credit of competitors, officials and marshals alike, many had gone to great lengths to appear in suitable headgear, the more outrageous the better. Nita...

A New Order

Coulter Grass Autotest
From MX5's to M5's, from Bentleys to "gentlys", they came, they saw and they (sort of) conquered at the annual Coulter grass Autotest. For some, memory was in shorter supply than traction and there were frequent cries of "wrong direction". The weather remained dry for...

Work Party Blues
Woke up this morning to a grim day - where had the sun gone? Up at 6.00 to get the food organised for Forrestburn. I don't know if I had put a curse on the day by sending out an email telling people to put their shorts and sun block on! Got to Forrestburn and there...

Track Night at Forrestburn : sun stops play
