Future Autotest Venues. Richard reported the Walkers site in Cockermouth is not available. Peter reported the site he looked at in Workington is not practical.
Autotest Entries. It was agreed at the AGM we should look to have completed entry forms and money up front. Kerryl was asked to look into the possibility of us having a PayPal account for this.
12 Car Entries. All local clubs seem to be having difficulties getting 12 car entries. Richard suggested we should meet with local clubs say Eden Valley, Spadeadham and Wigton? to see if we could arrange some form of combined championship to boost interest and entry numbers and was asked to try to arrange a meeting with interested parties in say mid June.
