    Totally agree with Boothy, you've got to cater for the grass roots people. After all, we all started somewhere, and it was usually at the bottom!

    But at the same time, a northern series should also allow for those with large pockets!

    Clubman and new comers would be more than welcome at the Pre Xmas Challenge at Rushton Spencer on the 29th & 30th November 2008

    Yep, got one here myself for our event next month. There's a NEW challenge permit that's on it's way through the mill at the MSA at the moment that is aimed specifically at winch challenges rather than trying to combine 3 permit types into a single one. Should make life a lot easier in sticking to the spirit of the regs as well as the letter :)

    Should be available next year although it might get delayed until 2010 - depends on what needs to happen to it to get it into the blue book. I was told that, as it's not a rule change as such, it should go in next year but who knows !

    Hope to get over for the pre-Christmas challenge btw, will have to see what my finances are like and what state my motor is in when I get back from Ireland.

    I think its already done you can apply for a challenge permit now it has a cost £6.65 per vehicle and you don't have to use the old orienteering permit as in previous years. I will double check with the office but my understanding is that it was new for this year?

    I have your number, October it is. Anyone interested in such a meeting, initially anyone interested in organising a meet with a site in mind.

    Alan & Barney keep me posted on this meeting in October I can set up a genie telephone conferance room if required to help us sort this before we put it to the club.

    This will open up some good terain going up through lakes into the borders, maybe a little more than 3 hours towing but should be good for a two day event,

    Getting a msa club onboard is the answer to a lot of the insurance issuses, talk to mat at badlrc, he seams keen on the chalenge events especialy after the succses of the last one,

    Sponsers would be good to help with cost and prizes,

    i'me interested to see where this one goes,

    Carl.

    This sounds good to me I am sure BADLRC could help with this but as Barney said in a previous post we would need to know a bit more to discuss it a a committee meeting keep us posted and we will do what we can

    I'd be interested, at least in principle. We run an annual club level challenge event and with the MSA in the process of creating a new challenge permit I think it will become easier to run under the MSA banner in the future, I think the new permit will appear next year sometime but not certain about that.

    The first question has to be about the style of the event, in some ways a series of events should be run under similar rules and in a similar format. OTOH having different formats may level the playing field a bit. If, for example, you have some events that feature navigation as opposed to the more simple "throw your motor at the terrain and stick between the bunting" style events.

    I'm sure there would be a lot of interest as long as the dates are right, avoiding clashes with other challenges and club events is always a problem, especially when multiple clubs are involved and land availability is limited.

    No need to wait till next year for a MSA Challenge permit I have got one sat on the desk here and had another one in August for the Wormhough Challenge

    Spectators should be ok but please bear in mind that

    Motorsport is potentially Dangerous and because of this you are present at your own risk

    if everybody is sensible everybody should have a good day.
