Righty oh boys n' girls I think it's only 4 Sundays to go to round one and they are filling fast, if your thinking of an entry please do it quickly to avoid diss-apointment... I would hate to have to reject anyone, it's a terrible thing rejection, on a brighter note though luckily Saley is trained in councilling, mainly sheep but he is trained.....well he talks a lot to his sheep, (they don't fully inderstand him either)...but he can help with rejection however I can act as a translator for anyone with difficulties.... We have some cute and cunninging specials stages planned and tested, we are well up for the challenge of challenging you and hopefully entertaining you....but you've got to be in it to win it.. Enteries please, before the postal rates go up, this could and should with the scoring system we are using be a very interesting competition or two... Come on......

Mrs Sue Badger is our clerk of the course and is a bit like Arnold Black'n'decker "she won't take no carp", Saley and I have been warned already. I'll put up the entry numbers shorly and a few bit and pieces about announcements sponsers etc, also some postcodes Don't forget it's also on Facebook, what the f*** is facebook, anyway it's on there with Mrs B's link....

Yes Kicker your welcome, thanks Baggy it's got to be AWDC, BADLRC, Viking or Midland I'm afraid, and as previously mentioned at signing on a valid membership card will have to be produced, this is part of the insurance critera.

MrHT Thanks very much for the offer, Righty oh as promised and thankfully this side of Christmas the online entry and all the rules & regs are on the AWDC website ready for your perusal. Get your forms in the post, paypal if required will be linked up very shortly, Championship numbers will be issued in due course. Sorry to end any rumours or hilarity, but the 1st entry recieved and paid for in full was by Mr Barrie Gee, who will be after last years AWDC series win and this years lightening entry be wearing the number 1, we think it could be the only time he see's it this year, it does co-incidentaly also read the same upside down. Have a great Christmas and New Year and look forward to recieving your entries. Thanks Chris.

Do need all this for just going the chippy at the end of our street?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

It doesn't actually suit me to much either, but we decided on it when we wrote the rules and unfortunatley for those with hydrosteer will stand by it now. There's all sort of arguments we've been through time and time again. IF we run another next year we will review all the rules but we are totally in the infancy and just trying to put some North of Watford events on. We've stuck our necks out a lot with this scoring sysyem to see if it levels out the field and have tested it a lot on old results to see how effective it would be and its quite suprising. Just hope it works well. They said the World was flat, and that you would not be able to breathe at more than 12mph, never mentioned hydrosteer though...... Bob's quite rightly pointed out I spelt Uplands wrong there's only one "P" in it (wait till Saley gets there with his tray of Boddington's Bob and see how many P'ees there are then Pal), and there's no E in Bridgnorth, sorry to all those if I've offended you, English is different up ere, yer know. Thanks so far for the offers, comments and support. Chris

Great to hear your on board Baggy, Barrie's looking forward to a few more Saturday night sessions with you..... We've stuck our neck out with the scoring system but on looking back through old score sheets and applying this system it should make for some very interesting and very close final scores, not hopefully a predicable as the past, not doubt we will see. I should hopefully slow down the big tyres and all the toys from automatically winning. I think it will soon read locker's and we will try and drop the "aftermarket" clause. See you soon boyo's

Dan When did any LR90 leave the factory with a set of Toyota 80 series axles on? (quote the 2 marshall's at Corwen following an unexpected roll over) "it's them 2 numpties from Stoke-on-Trent" In reality if we gave you 200 points a punch you'd still be struggling for a place, boy. Behave yourself..... What's Santa bringing you Dan.....

Like the light Fridge, will go high on my want's from Santa.. Nice one My old 4 legged Black'n'Gold anti-theft mobile deterent was fantastic, until the local cats come round then he got all sort of distracted.... Kept 'em on their toes though.
