Round 2 of this year’s Carshare League is the Stan Bradshaw Pendle Round on Saturday 8th March – entries close on 1st March so get ’em sent off this week as there’s no entry on the day. Carshare insists it’ll be the perfect opportunity to recce key parts of the Read more
With the rare appearance of the Club Secretary (or perhaps a hologram thereof), the return from St Lucia of Sarah B, and the addition of the newly elevated Dr Piercey to our ranks, it was a distinctly superior gathering that set out from Hagg Farm lay-by (Blackden having been deemed Read more
For those now heartily sick of the current round of biblical weather, the calendar of club Wednesday night runs for the summer months is now available online. Thanks are due, as ever, to Big Bob for pulling together the draft programme and checking it off against access concerns – and Read more
