Membership Cards : For info: New Members will in future receive a "digital" membership card rather than a physical card as in the past. The digital "card" can be saved on your mobile phone & hopefully will be harder to lose (& faster / cheaper to replace if you do !). In principle the card is used as the digital Ms UK RS Clubman Competition Licence introduced a couple of years ago.
Existing "physical" membership cards will continue for paid-up members until either lost or they request a change to a new digital card. Additional info here on the Membership page.

Baden Hall RTV & CCV May Day Trials : We had 4 CCV drivers, but only 1 RTV driver at the Staffs & Shrops trials on the Saturday of the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. The CCV was well attended - requiring 3 separate groups for the mix of ALRC & non ALRC cars. 12 great sections & great weather ! RTV attendance was unfortunately down on numbers compared to past years, but all of us there enjoyed the 10 great sections. Glyn Phillips was top MROC CCV driver & Paul Muir top MROC RTV driver. Results will be on the Staffs & Shrops website in the coming days.
Easter at Eastnor : We had good turnouts for each of trials (3 groups required for CCV & 2 for RTV !), lots on the camp site & great weather ! Many thanks to to the many Club members involved in laying out & running the trials and activities in the camp site !
Results are now on the Trialling Results page here.
