The Cross Border Speed Championship

Three Sisters Cancelled

Today’s bad news is that another of our sprint events has been cancelled.

The 3 Sisters event on 02/08/2015 will not run.

The reasons are not known, but the message is clear from the Chester Site.

This is a big disappointment, since it is normally a well liked and well attended event, but on the plus side, I think it does support the view of the Speed Sub-Committee that an increased menu of XBC events makes our Championship more robust against changes like this that are outwith our control.

Thanks to Angus for drawing this to our attention.

Time to get those July Kames entries in !!!

Dave’s Diatribe

Hope you have enjoyed the season so far!
The Kames events at the end of the month mark the halfway point in the championship.

There are still plenty of events to keep you occupied and maybe even mount a challenge for the class or overall championship honours.

So, two items we want to discuss with you.

Firstly, the two big “away weekends” Ty Croes & Harewood. We would like to know what you want to do. Do you all want to meet up for a meal somewhere on the Saturday night? In which case we could do with numbers so we can book! Curry, Chinese, English, don’t care, etc., please let us know. If we have a large number camping maybe you would prefer a Barbie and a beer, again please give us some ideas.

We have made enquiries about a pit garage at Ty Croes. Can you let us know if you wish to use it? We are told a full pit garage takes 4 cars but i suspect we can get more in for wet weather parking/overnight, Maybe a second garage would be required.

Finally as mentioned in a previous XBC News, we have our own XBC / Wigton MC event at Kames on Sunday October 4th. We really would like to make it a fantastic and successful event but we need help to do it!! We have most of the “officers” in place but like any other event it cannot run without an enthusiastic team of Marshalls.

If you are unable to compete in the Kames event, would you be able to Marshall? Could your pit crew/general hangers on, your wife, children(over 16) help out?
If there is anyone interested, could you contact us and “pledge” to Marshall (any training required will be given on the day).

Any help given will be gratefully received
