Warts

Cap’n Harmer says “Strines Inn usual time. I guess some folks not racing in the champs or want a steady one with Chris/Tim and myself might want to potter along.” 18.45 then if interested.

Wednesday evening marked the return of some of the S11 team who were all absent for the previous Wednesday’s Hunter Wreck race. At least I had a half reasonable excuse of being on holiday in Kent though it did cross my mind that it might be possible to drive back Read more

A relatively modest fifteen or so Warts assembled at Fairholmes for an unusually early first Wartin’ fixture of the 16/17 season – more typically falling (so the good Cap’n advises) on or after the Autumn Equinox. Perhaps Big Bob had forgotten this departure from tradition, failing as he did to Read more

It was Wednesday Warts’ world authority evening from Doctor’s Gate on the Snake road.

Cap’n. Harmer has suggested a run from Windle Edge (up North tha knows), I assume at 18.45 as usual. Nothing arranged yet for the Southern branch, it’s probably best to watch this space or at least check with Andy or Mark nearer the time for any updates.
