THIS WEEKS CLUB MEETING-
The next Brecon Motor Club Social Meeting will be this Wednesday 3rd October from 7.30pm at Brecon Castle Hotel.
In addition to the social gathering, we will continue with Part 2 of the Navigation Training for beginners, this is intended as an introduction to the skills needed and the techniques used for road rallying and although this is aimed at newbies, it will be a good opportunity for any drivers or navigators who may have already competed on road rallies or participated in club navigation events to gain a better understanding of the skills needed.
With the darker evening now upon us, Brecon Motor Club is continuing with its policy of providing an opportunity to gain map reading and rally navigation skills in advance of the impending navigation events planned over the next six months. Come and join the fun, lads and dads, mums and daughters- this will guaranteed to provide a fun introduction to rally navigation for all the family plus a good grounding for moving up to competitive motorsport in the future if that’s what you aspire too!
There will be a number of experienced rally navigators on hand to help with guidance. Please bring along a 160 map, roamer, pencil and eraser, Roamers will be available on the night if you need one, provided by The Basic Roamer Company.
