Car club organises first 12-car navigational rally for two years

CIRENCESTER Car Club organised its first 12-car navigational rally for two years when 11 crews braved the elements last Thursday for a navigational tuition session, followed by a short navigational exercise around the locality.

It was an event organised by new club chairman Martin Saunders, who is trying hard to breathe life back into the club after several years of decline.

The competition was well accepted by all the crews who took part and, though mainly aimed at novice and beginners, the eventual joint winners were old hands.

Results as follows: 1st overall car No 1 Chris Stratton (driver), John Stratton (navigator), total 2 minutes; No 2 John Shuker, Dave Waldron, 2 mins; 3rd o/a No 7 Andrew Isherwood, Hilery Farbowski, 26 mins; 4th o/a No 11 Kevin Smith, Scott Jenner, 29 mins; 5th o/a No 6 Ben Jefferis, Jonathon Smith, 30 mins; 6th o/a No 5 Jerry Mead, Vicki Mead, 44 mins; 7th o/a No 3 John Pierce, Richard Hughes, 46 mins; 8th o/a No 4 Chris Berrens, William Cabury, 64 mins; 9th o/a No 10 Rod Manners, Robin Maryon, 103 mins; 10th o/a No 9 Pam Morre, Jeremy Wells, 104 mins; 11th o/a No 8 Pete Shepherd, Sean Forde, 160 mins.

Next round of the 2004 series is set to take place on Friday, February 6. Anyone wanting to know more about Cirencester Car Club is asked to contact Martin Saun-ders on 07798 584713 or e-mail ted163@waitrose.com
