Congratulations to our new champions, Stan Featherstone and Ian Gibbins. Stan
held off strong challenges from Dan Robinson and Adrian Green, his consistency
proving decisive despite not winning an event outright this year. Ian was
definitely the man to have on the maps, guiding both Ade and Dan to victory.
Mike Ogram held off a late charge from Paul Taylor to keep second place, both
of them will be out to get the trophy off Ian in 2006 no doubt. The remaining
‘top 5’ awards go to Dave Chapman and James Hoyles in the drivers, Dan
Spittlehouse and David Taylor in the navigators, well done to you all.
The Novice awards were hard fought as ever and, as there have been so many
eligible contenders in 2005, 3rd place awards have been added. In
contrast to the overall awards, which are all mixed up due to some navigators
‘tarting around’ with different drivers, the Novices get theirs in their
familiar pairs: Paul Blanchard & Ian Poulson from Clitheroe finished top,
with a consistent set of results in their first season in the championship.
Next up were some more seasoned campaigners, Alastair Crosby & John
Thornton from Selby. 3rd place goes to Dan Willan & Heather
Grisedale, spearheading a growing group of enthusiastic crews from West Lancs
and
Cumbria
. Well done to all of you, I hope to see you out again in 2006.
Dave Broadley once again takes the ‘Best all rounder’ award, this year
fighting off a challenge from fellow Lincs Louth member Dave Wilkinson. That
makes it four years in a row for Mr. Broadley, very well done indeed. Nearly
as impressive is Beverley’s domination of the Club Championship, this
year’s winning margin was the largest yet, the rest of us had better get our
acts together and put up more of a challenge in 2006!
Assuming the published provisional awards become final, there is still one
award to be decided, ‘Best Event’. As the questionnaires have been a bit
hit and miss again in 2005, as last year I have included a voting form with
this mailing for you to tell us what you thought of the events you competed or
marshaled on. Please get them back to me, either by post or email, by 14th
January. Remember the event organizers and marshals put lots of hard work in
each year so that we can all go out and enjoy ourselves, so say ‘thank
you’ by voting and also telling them what you thought of their event –
they can’t correct the mistakes if you don’t tell them what they were!
The Awards Presentation Evening is on Friday 3rd February, at
Whitcliffe Mount Sports Centre, Cleckheaton, starting at 8pm. There will be a
charity auction for a few items of motor sport memorabilia and the special
guest is Fred Henderson of Colway Motorsport, always an entertaining bloke to
listen to with some colourful stories to tell! It’s free to attend and you
don’t have to be an award winner, the more the merrier.
The 2006 championship sees a couple of changes, we no longer have Kent Cams as
our sponsor (anyone interested in getting their company name in lights for a
very reasonable amount, please get in touch!) and there is provisionally a new
event in the series. You should find a copy of the calendar and a registration
form elsewhere in this mailing. If your name is printed in red on the enclosed
tables, then you qualify for free registration for 2006 and you don’t need
to fill in a form, unless any of your details have changed.
Finally my thanks to all the clubs who have put on rounds in 2005 and to you
the competitors for coming out and supporting them. I hope to see many of you
out and about in 2006.
Iain
