15 Entries, including some new members and a lot of Mazda MX5s. Congratulations to today’s winner, Grant Carson, whose Nissan Sunny negotiated the course almost faultlessly, with just 1 cone penalty, to finish ahead of Mark McCulloch (Mazda MX5) who was 1st in Class 4. Drew McLean (Mazda MX5) finished 3rd Overall, Top Senior and 2nd in Class 4, just ahead of 16 year old Owen Paterson (Mazda MX5), who was 3rd in Class as well as Top Junior and Top Novice. Nancy Dickson was Top Lady, and in Class 1, it was a Nissan Sunny 1-2-3 with Aaron Ferguson and Peter Game taking the other 2 spots behind Overall Winner Grant Carson.

Thank you to Mark McCulloch & Thomas McCarney for organising, Norman Gowans & Kirsty Riddick for the results, to our new member Matthew Broadbent for Marshalling (welcome!) and a huge thanks to Iain Wilson for all the work he has put in over the last few weeks to get the venue ready for us to use (…sorry about your Mazda!)
