Event Details
This long-established event at the picturesque Burton Dassett Country Park is a favourite for many of our championship contenders. This is one of the rare events where spectators can be expected and is a great shop-window for our sport. May we draw your attention to SR 20(d) in which the club have exercised the option to make front-seat passengers non-obligatory. The choice is yours – but you must stick with it for the entirety of the event.
