Round 9 of the Winter Championship done.

Thanks to all who cleared the track this morning after the overnight rain, your help was much appreciated by all.

Suddenly, we're almost down to our last month. Two more club championship rounds and the Modelsport Vintage Masters in March, and that's it.

If you want to prepare for the Vintage Masters, our next meeting is Sunday 8th March. Event details will be posted shortly.

24/01/2026

If we were to suggest running a meeting next weekend, how many people would consider attending?

Ideally we need a minimum of 15 to make it viable. Comment below if you would attend. If we get 15 plus, we'll consider it. Need to know before the end of Tuesday please.

(Note this would be a non-championship round)

With the projected forecast for the rest of the day, tomorrow and the fact it's been raining pretty much all week, we have taken the reluctant decision to cancel tomorrow's scheduled club meeting. This is not a decision we ever take lightly, but the conditions are pretty horrible right now and we need to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved.

Apologies, not much we can do about this.

Next meeting scheduled for Sunday February 8th

Announcement.

Those of you with eagle eyes will have spotted that the Planning Permission for the current site at Accommodation Road was approved by North Somerset Council on 8th January.

The link to the document suite is below. I encourage you to read the Delegated Report and you can make your own judgments based on that.

We have heard nothing since this approval, which means the only assumption we can make is that we will need to vacate the current site at the end of March. Efforts are ongoing to clarify this position.

Please bear with us. We are talking with a number of organisations about a new site, but all of these are very early in their development. If you know of any potential locations, ideally within North Somerset, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Committee -many we may know about, but there will be others we absolutely wont (or may have previously considered and dismissed)
