The Major's 2024
We are happy and proud to announce that the prestigious The Major’s event is to be held again over the weekend of 13th, 14th and 15th September 2024 at Green Hall Farm, near Llanfyllin, Powys SY22 5LG. This is the same site as last year's very successful event !
This exciting CCV team competition will continue in the same format as before (minus pheasants), with the same coveted Rose Bowl Trophy, run by the same club and the same people. An added bonus is NO NEED FOR trailers to get cars from the camp site to the trials area !
The campsite will open at 12 noon on Friday 13th September, closing 12 noon on Monday 16th September.
The trial will be run over both the Saturday and Sunday with up to 10 sections each day. As with previous Major’s, this trial is classless. Teams of three drivers representing their club will compete over the weekend for the Major’s Trophy - the Rose Bowl.
A shield is also presented for the highest placed team driving Standard Vehicles and the Ladies Trophy will be awarded to the best all-female team.
Please note that this trial is a competition to test the driving skills of the best CCV drivers in the country and is not recommended for the inexperienced.
ENTRY FEE: £180 PER TEAM - ie £60 per driver for 2 days competition.
MROC & other ALRC Club entrants all welcome !
