Submitted by jimbowie on

I note from some facebook comments that some car enthusiasts may never have heard of the club until they saw the Corbeau Seats Clacton & Tendring Stage Rally at the weekend, and may therefore be surfing this website.  

We hope some of you may be inspired to get involved with organised club motorsport and look forward to hearing from you.

Marshalling is one of the best ways to get started, and you dont even have to join the club to do that.

World Famous Ford Rally Cars on Display in Frinton

Submitted by PaulB on

In celebration of the forthcoming Corbeaus Seats Tendring and Clacton Rally, two of the world's most famous and iconic rally cars arrive in Frinton.

Presented by Tendring’s Ford dealer Pollendines – the world famous Mk2 Ford Escort RS driven by rally legend the late Björn Waldegård and sponsored by British Airways, together with the very last produced Ford Group B rally car – the Ford RS200 (chassis number 200).

East Anglian Classic Marshalling

Submitted by tony burchnall on

 This year's EAC has  couple of changes.

Firstly, the date: We are running on SATURDAY June 16th. There isn't a clash this year with Fathers' Day.

Secondly, the venues are in North Suffolk. Paul has negotiated a new Start/Finish venue near Bury St Edmunds which has a test on site to begin with. The other venue is the established Thorpe Abbotts airfield, which has been a real favourite in the past.

There will also be a lot more road controls than we have had previously, which means more crews on the road.

OS map colour issues

Submitted by LucyF on

I've now come across my second OS paper Landranger map (first was the Chelmsford map bought last year) in which yellow roads are not coloured properly...a number of them on the 134 map I bought this week look like whites in many places (evidently they are not because at points along them they have splodges of yellow). 

Just wondering if others have come across this issue as it is of course going to make it tricky for navigators in 12 cars for CRO routes!!

Suze - London Marathon for Marie Curie

Submitted by Suze on

As some may have heard, I won't be at Clacton as instead I will be tackling the London Marathon for Marie Curie which is being held on the same day. Marie Curie supported Matt, I and our family when Matt's Dad was terminally ill and passed away very quickly back in 2009 so it's a charity that means something to us.

Training is clearly underway, if anyone would like to sponsor me you'd of course be very welcome and it would be appreciated!

club meeting place

Submitted by usedtobequick on

is it just me ? or is the landlord of the Generals Arms a miserable bart. in all the time i have been going to the club nights i dont think i have seen him show any gratitude for our custom and even after charging me £3.50 for a thimble full of luke warm coffee could not bring a smile to his face. i just dont think he make any effort to make you feel welcome. i for one will never spend another penny in the place. 

can i be the first to vote for a change of venue

oh and by the way MERRY CHRISTMASS everyone

Submitted by jimbowie on

Can I please put out a request to persons that can help set up the stages for Brands on Friday 19th January.  This will require a day off work but it is good fun working in teams , carting cones and arrows about in the fresh air.  Help clearing up on the Saturday night and Sunday morning also appreciated.

We will be contacting the people that have helped in the past , but we need to keep bringing on new helpers that are younger and fitter than most of the regular grafters.

Hi, I’ve entered a 12 on Friday but Tim cannot make it now.  Anyone fancy driving for me. We can even use the Tangerine Dream.  Event starts in Swaffham and we will trailer the car there.  Entry fee paid.  What a Christmas present for someone.  Let me know.  Thanks.  Simon, 07887 533411
