ANCC AUTOTEST CHAMPIONSHIP 2006

BULLETIN No. 9/ 2006  (Issued 27 November 2006)

Hi All

Welcome to the end of year Bulletin, I hope on behalf of the ANCC and myself you have enjoyed your year long competition. It has been a very good competitive year with an average of 9 entries of the 17 registered competitors on 12 of the planned 14 events. The good news is that the interest has been maintained from start to finish and I hope we can continue this trend and repeat the commitment over 2007. Unfortunately two events did not run, YSCC due to lack of entries – it was early in the year – and was planned to be organised for later in the year. Sadly the date they chose was Boxing Day and I felt this was a little ambitious to include the event in the Championship when at this time it is for the family. The second event that was cancelled was Alwoodley MC event due to site problems beyond the control of the Club, but they are hopeful that the event will be rescued for 2007.

I would like to offer a very big THANK YOU TO ALL THE COMPETITORS and EVENT ORGANISERS and that hope you will support the ANCC and I in registering for the Championship again next year, and in addition  you will try and cajole you friends and contacts to enter our Championship in 2007.

Please find attached the FINAL results table and Award Winners – PLEASE CHECK THIS – and if you should find any errors and/or omissions please contact me as soon as possible. This has been amended since that issued on Bulletin 8 – the only changes being in the overall position places – not point or awards.

I hope most of you have responded to Iain Tully (ANCC Secretary) by returning the questionaire about your awards night and what form you would prefer it to take. The date and style has to be determined and is awaiting your replies before confirmation but it would appear to be in late January or early February in the Cleckheaton area. It would be much appreciated if ALL award winners would attend and if you are not able to, appoint a person to collect on your behalf and in either case please advise me.

In preparation for 2007 I ask if anyone has any proposals to change and/or amend the Championship Regulations but the main request is the year end appraisal of the events included in the 2006 Championship. It is noted that all Clubs providing events in 2006 are interested in being included again. To this end I attach a copy of the events for 2006, with a table on which you can advise your mark for each event and also and more importantly a table of my proposed events for 2007 on which there is a column for your comments. PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE in order that I can prepare for 2007, before Christmas. I hope that most if not all will respond to this request as this is YOUR Championship for YOUR enjoyment.

Please find on the reverse, a copy of the results, if anyone has any further queries please contact me.

Regards,

Graham S. Whitaker
