michael Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Quoted from Jonny-Jimbo Oooh, at this rate AJ and I will win the Beginner Class no matter how badly we do! if you are capable of organising a rally you must be an expert? regards michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Organising a scatter is a bit different to taking part in a 12 car! Plus AJ has only organised catering before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky_spit Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Just back from a week's holiday and there were 2 entries waiting on the doormat, plus another hand delivered just before we left last week. So, we now have 11 entries:Michael Helm/Colin Wake - Expert - Triumph YesPeter Jackson/Mark Rutter - Expert - Triumph 2000Steven Radley/Dave Saunders - Novice -Triumph Mk1 2.5PI Jonathan Fallowell/Alex Joslin - Beginner - Triumph 2000Alan Pettit/TBA - TBA - Triumph Spitfire 4Dale Barker/Nigel Abdullah - Expert - Triumph HeraldDavid Aspinall/Louise Crow - Novice - Triumph 2.5PI Charlie Deards/Ellis Stokes - Expert - Triumph 2500S EstateAndy Dann/Wendy Dann - Beginner - Triumph Definitely 2000Mike Bishop/Darren Armitage - Expert - Triumph StagClive Senior/Gill Senior - Novice - Triumph SpitfireSo, there is just the one place left now, to make a full 12 Car entry. Also, history dictates that there will be at least one entrant drop out before the event, so please still do send in an entry if the list is full as you are quite likely to get a place at the last moment.

Jonny-Jimbo Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I still have the banners I used on the Warks Scatter - will it be possible to bring them down to this event to give to someone to hand back to Tina, or someone else who can look after them?

sparky_spit Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Keith - yes, I plan to be there.Jon - I can't help with the banners but maybe one of the London based crews who are entering can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I know the list is full now, but can I put an entry in? I've been struggling to get a co-driver, but should have one now, and it would be nice to do an event in the 2000.Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst not wishing bad luck on any entrant, I think I'm right in saying that no CT 12 car event in the last few years has not had somebody drop out at the last minute.PM sent.

Jonny-Jimbo Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Have now taken delivery of the Essex map for this - getting quite excited to actually participate in a rally rather than just organise one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 A couple of clarifications that have been prompted by a question or two...The Beginner class is not a fully competitive class. You will get a fully marked map of the route, showing the route you must drive and that the Novice and Expert crews have had to plot themselves. This means you do not need to do any plotting yourself; you just follow the route as marked on the map you have been given. You will also be given the Novice navigation clue sheets, but this is just so you can see for yourselves how the navigation clues relate to the plotting of the route; you do not need to use them.You will also be given a sheet of questions that you answer as you drive round by looking out for things on the road. You will not need to stop and get out of the car to do this. You can also note down the code boards on the side of the road if you wish; these are placed there for the Novice and Expert crews to note down so that it can be proved that they have driven the correct route. All this is for your own enjoyment and interest only, although there will probably be a prize for the Beginner crew with the best score.You will get start and finish points allocated for use in the Club championships/challenge but no other points. The Beginner class is designed for those just wanting a run out in company with other Triumphs, and those newcomers who have not done a navigation rally before and want to see what it's all about. It is a non-competitive class.In light of this, if you wish to change up to a more competitive class, let me know and I'll move you into the Novice class.Seeding - some of you have asked what this is and is it an "Essex" thing? Some remote parts of Essex are quite rural and people there live a simple life. Seeding is quite painless; only takes a minute or two, and you do get a sugar-beet top to chew on whilst it happens.Also, cars will be sent off from the start in a set order which slightly helps the less experienced crews.Cheers,Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hmm, thanks for that Mike. I'll see if AJ wants to risk having a go at proper navigation or just having a drive in the beginner class. She's usually up for a challenge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Sign up as a Novice, have a go, and if it all goes Pete Tong, open the panic envelope.Have a really good read of the navigational guides beforehand, and you really can't go wrong. Well actually you can, but you know what I mean.If you want to see some examples of previous events, we can email you clues and marked maps.CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, next time, maybe. Rob - It may be worth putting an entry in because, as said above, there is a likelihood of one or two crews dropping out before the start. PM sent.
