News & editorial
NOVEMBER 2002
It's competition time!
Much of what we, as a club, do each month, is dictated by our planning calendar. This month is no exception and it's thrown up the need to get a new design organised for the January edition of Tappits which of course this year has featured the 25th running of the Club's Stages Rally.
So if you fancy having a go at a new cover design for your newsletter get cracking and submit your entries to me on or by the 18th December - the night of the Christmas Party. Oh prize - yes there is a choice - it's a choice of either fire water or a genuine STORM watch (please will the winner choose the booze as the watch has cost me half a lung already !! Don't ask.)
There's also another competition for you if you are internet ready - it's for a day of Rally Driving - details elsewhere in Tappits.
Other things our calendar dictate are to get a membership renewal form out to you all. Yes , sorry folks, we're going to have to ask you to dip into your pockets. I've added a loose form into everyone's newsletter so you don't have to rip it apart. Please return to Ian Beech, with the appropriate fee, when completed - Ta very much.
There's a couple of thank-you's that I would like to include this month. It's a pleasure to add this first one from Pam who as most of you know "ain't been too grand lately".

A BELATED THANK YOU.
Thank you to all at LMSC for your good wishes, cards and flowers - they were greatly appreciated and did much to raise my spirits. I have now finished my course of treatment at Weston Park and am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
Hope to see you all soon. Pam (Ashton)

Another thank-you comes from the Bluebell Hospice
Appeal. Thanks mainly to the generousity of Mel Drohan, Jeff Yates and Cherryl Halkyard the appeal were handed a cheque for £200 by Ken Hemingway. Picture from the Thorne Gazette courtesy of Gordon Waddington.
And finally, an entry from a competitors letter on the Dukeries website for all of you who helped on the Premier Rally -
To all of your who worked so hard, for so long and such a day. Obviously, Sunday is a day few of us that were associated with the Airwaves Premier Rally will forget, for many reasons.The day presented many challenges for both competitors and organisers alike but despite the cancellation of a number of stages and the overrunning of the event into the night, I can honestly say that my driver and I had one hell of a day (and night!).
I was heartened and amazed by way that despite everything that went wrong and the long hours that they had worked, the stage marshals and controllers maintained such a professional attitude and kept a sense of humour up to the end, they are a credit to their clubs and rallying as a whole. |

It's always good to get some feedback like this.
