Set in a natural amphitheatre the new venue for The Dennis Wells Memorial Trial was popular with many, you could stand on the rim and see the event unfold below you.    With 42 competitors it was a little congested at times, resembling Piccadilly Circus at rush hour, not that I know what Piccadilly Circus at rush hour looks like… We have been promised a second field for the next event.

The morning dew was soon burnt off by the gorgeous April sunshine but not before a clubman leaded the whole field after the first round of 8 tests.

It didn’t last long as Duncan Stephens managed to drop only 15 points on round 2 to take the lead.

After lunch the competitors completed one more round before stumps were drawn. But not before Barrie Parker took over the lead by only dropping 8 points on the round.

With the marshals cleaning-up the field, Sue Dale worked her magic on the results, think of a number multiply it by the time of day and divide it by the date, whatever method she uses we were able to declare the winners.  

Class 1           David Allman of Owen Motor Club.

Class 2           Current British Champion Duncan Stephens.

Class 3           Only one in this class, and he retired.

Class 4           Tudor Morris and he only came to passenger his son Rhys.

Clubman         John Broadhurst after dragging the Metro out of its slumber.

Overall             Barrie Parker in his showroom condition Toyota MR2.

A Big Thank You to all the club members who gave up their time freely.

Not only supporting the event but supporting the club and making this year’s event one Dennis himself would have been proud of. Let us hope you have shown others the way.

The next trial is The HCC Wales graciously sponsored by Peter Williams on the 24^th July.  Make a note in your diary

THANK YOU TO ALL.

Graham (Thomas) Secretary of the Meeting
