Club AGM 2010
Hi All,
It is that time of the year again when the club hold the Anual General Meeting (AGM), this is where we vote in the committee for the 2010/11 season, what rule changes are voted in and most importantly the presentation of the sheilds we have been racing for all year.
The meeting is being held on Friday 5th November starting at 7.00pm in the Joshua Renals Pub in Ridgeway, Plympton.
It will be good to see you all there.

After the success last year of running the Friday Night Electric Racing to try and help the BRCA get the Electric SWORDS running we have decided to run the event again this year even though the Electric SWORDS is not happening.
The first Friday we are starting on is 18th June, booking in from 6.30 to 6.45 and racing from 7.00pm to 9.00pm. This will then run for as long as we can over the summer till it becomes too dark to race at night.
The Classes we are running are:-
– 1/18th Open Class
– 1/10th Open Class
– 1/8th Open Class
The timings will be 5 minute qualifiers, 8 minute finals with 3 minutes between races.
Fees will be the same as last year.
HDA 2010 – Results
Hi All,
I am not going to write a long description of the event, partly because being very busy from running the event, but also do not want to bore everyone.
So instead I will pass on the good news, we raised and handed over £180.00 for Huntington, had almost 50% more entrants this year than last year and with the running of the 1/10th this bought some people along that would not normally race.
The finishing results were:-
1/10th – 1st Jonathan Firmin – 2nd Chris Luckett – 3rd Chloe Hill
1/8th – 1st Dan Bligh – 2nd Lee Ellis – 3rd John Andrews
1/5th – 1st Tony Hill – 2nd Jack Beaumount – 3rd Jonathan Firmin
Truggy – 1st Jack Beaumount – 2nd Roland Thomas – 3rd Andrew Welsh
