Information

This is a one-off event that Warrington & District Motor Club is running instead of the Enville Stages in memory of Dave Read, who had been a member of Warrington and District Motor Club for 40 years, a former Clerk of the Course and one of the main instigators of closed road rallying in the North West. The event will be held at Anglesey Circuit/Trac Môn and is a single venue stage rally offering approximately 45 stage miles on mainly tarmacadam.
Several C&A members are senior officials for the event and are listed in the Supplementary Regulations below.

The event will require many marshals to ensure it's smooth running. Our chairman, Huw Gwyn Jones, is the Chief Marshal and if you are able to volunteer, you should register using the following link: Marshal Registration
