VSCC 2015 Trials Season in full flow!
Friday 16 October 2015
Following the success of our recent Welsh Weekend, we would like to remind Members that entries are still open for the Club’s two remaining Trials of 2015 – the Lakes (7 November) and Cotswolds (21 November).
LAKELAND TRIAL, KESWICK & AREA, CUMBRIA, SATURDAY 7 NOVEMBER
The Club’s winter Trials season continues with the annual pilgrimage north to the picturesque surroundings of the Lake District, covering a wide area of the Lakes from Honister Slate Mine in the south to Beck Wythop Forest in the north, still based at The Wheatsheaf in Low Lorton not far away from Keswick.
There are a number of changes this year, one of which is the welcome return to the Beck Wythop Forest following extensive harvesting operations and the second is a new single venue for Signing-On and Scrutineering for all Competitors at the Whinlatter Visitor Centre. The organising team of Alan Couper, John Gill, Allan Dunn, Terry Richardson and Myke Pocock are setting-up a challenging series of hill sections for what will surely prove to be a thrilling day of motor sport. The infamous Drumhouse remains the central feature of the Trial with its twisting climb to the summit and the thrill of achieving the top successfully is a reward for the day’s efforts.
Although spectating will be limited to specific hills such as Drumhouse and only two in Whinlatter Forest to comply with the new MSA/Forestry Commission requirements, the character of this seminal event will not be affected. Do not miss the chance to participate in one of the Club’s most historic and well-loved events – the maximum entry the Forestry Commission allow is 100 so enter soon to avoid disappointment.
Entry Fee: £90 Closing Date for Entries: 26 October

COTSWOLD TRIAL, PRESCOTT, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER
Although the Cotswold Trial is not as longstanding as some of our other dates in the calendar, it has, nevertheless, firmly established itself as the fitting finale to the Trials season. Event Headquarters will once again be based at Prescott, where the crowds will gather to watch four of the day’s competitive sections in the grounds of the famous Hill Climb venue and will doubtless share in the traditional end of year celebrations.
Derek Howard-Orchard and Tim Milvain will take control for a 6th year and have a wonderful collection of sections to test both car and driver in the surrounding Gloucestershire countryside. Once again the day will accommodate Class Zero for Trialling newcomers and, with a varied mix of challenges for both the novice and expert, the event is always popular, so ensure you submit your entry in good time to avoid missing the last Trial of 2015!
Entry Fee: £75 Closing Date for Entries: 6 November
