The weather was grey, the grids were thin,but the racing was good. With the Capri still hors de combat after Oulton Neil was only racing in Group 1, in the 1300 class. The car isn't going very well in its new guise and Neil finished tail end Charlie, albeit with a class win, as Brian Goodwin retired with cooling system problems.

Jim McLoughlin won Group 1 and David Howard Post Historic

Its The Lands End Trial this weekend. You can get an entry list and spectator guide on The MCC Site.

All being well I will be posting live reports on Twitter which will appear on this home page.

Ed Nikel followed up his win at the MGCC Midland Centres Ledbury Trial with a win at Falcons Edlesborough Trial on 29 March. This time Ed did drop marks, well one anyway. Ross Nuten challenged Ed until his Dellow Mk2 retired with a misfire. In the front wheel drive class David Holmes débuted a Honda CRX which impressed everyone with its power, a bit different to David's usual Fiat Panda.

Ed Nikel (Dellow Mk2 Rep) won The MGCC Spring Trial at Ledbury on 22 March with a clean sheet. Click here for Brian Osborn's report. The next MGCC Trial is at Burton Dassett on 20 September. Videos by Claire and Alan Oakes.

A reminder of two excellent single venue trials that are taking place later this month, each having an infamous, if rather dog eared Classic Trial competitor involved in the organisation.

Maureen Chattle

It is a very sad day. Maureen died yesterday, finally loosing her long, painful but incredibly brave fight against cancer. The disease would have taken a lesser person sooner, but Maureen did not give in easily, even going abroad for treatment that allowed her to experience more of life.

Maureen drove on many MCC trials, driving her partner Ross Nuten's Dellow Mk2. I am sure your thoughts will be with Ross and Maureen's family at this very sad time.

The migration appears successful

The migration will start tonight, Friday 30 Jan at 21.00 I am not sure how long the process will take. Probably all the weekend as once the data has been successfully migrated I have some re-configuration to do. members will probably receive an automated email from the new system hosts inviting you to log on. Please don't do that until you get the green light message here

Also please don't log on or post messages to the old system during this time.

Please bare with me
