‘clean-ups’ at Wiscombe is scheduled for Saturday November 22nd
and help is requested from all interested parties whether competitors,
organizers, marshals or spectators who wish to become more involved with the

include sweeping the hill, digging and clearing the drains (land drains that
is not the other variety!) or may be repairing fences or similar. These
working days have a reputation for being incredibly social as well as
productive with a break mid morning for coffee and biscuits and then a
ploughmans and soup at lunchtime. If you are able to join us please let Mike
Furse know in order that the appropriate catering arrangements can be made. Telephone Mike Furse on 01308 867914. |

Having
finished third in the Midland Championship and runner-up at Wiscombe last
year Feniton driver Martyn Pike has now claimed the premier position in the
2008 Bridge Tyres & Wheels Wiscombe Park Championship in his 1800 cc Kent
crossflow powered Ford Escort. Having
led going into the final two rounds the underfloor heating project manager
took a measured approach to the two days of the Five Clubs meeting at the
beginning of September to ensure he stayed ahead of Pilbeam MP43 pilot Rod
Thorne by a margin of .65 of a point! Third
place goes to Neal Coles with his Sylva Striker ahead of Jonathan Wright with
his Golf GTi. Bridge Tyre

Pam Gardner’s ‘third time lucky’
approach with regard to the Woolbridge Saturday night barbecue worked wonders
with a warm, almost balmy evening providing a most welcome contrast to the
deluge experienced over the previous two years. ‘Five Clubs’ will no doubt be
hoping for similar weather for their early September meeting when a similar
social evening is expected. In fact the first Wiscombe Park hillclimb took
place in September so the meeting will be a fitting occasion to the fiftieth
anniversary. The popular format of two events in two days will again be the
basis of the programme. |

50 YEARS OF
WISCOMBE PARK HILL CLIMB As part of the Woolbridge Motor Club
organised national championship meeting in July a cavalcade of cars provided
an insight to the men, women and machines that have made history at the south
Devon venue since the first meeting in the autumn of 1958. None more so than
Tony Marsh at the wheel of his famous Marsh Special. Included amongst the champions, past
and present, at Wiscombe Park to enjoy a beautiful summer day were Martin
Groves, Chris Cramer, Roy Lane, Roger Moran and also champion elect Scott
Moran. The first and last named were however concentrating on the battle for
the 2008 championship. |
