Club Marcos International

Annual Rally 2007 - 30th June/1st July

 

 

Saturday - 30th June 2007

The Curborough Sprint Rain and drizzle throughout the day failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the 20 members who took to the track to pit their skills and nerves against the slippery conditions.  A few spins, but nothing too serious. Several other members came along to watch the antics and listen to an entertaining commentary. Thanks to everyone who organised and/or assisted on the day. If any members would like slightly higher definition copy of any of these photos please contact the webmaster.  If you have any photos of the event you would like shown on this page please email them to the webmaster.

Overnight on Saturday The annual Dinner was held at the Tillington Hall Hotel in Stafford where old acquaintenances were renewed and new ones made. An early start was made by the usual suspects on Sunday morning in preparation for the Concours.  Not everyone followed this tactic - a couple of members were later seen eating breakfast at Shugborough having failed to get up before 10:00!!  (No prize winners here!)
