The sporting calendar is beginning to revive, but what is acceptable inside a closed circuit or hillclimb venue underlines the problems when events are out in the wide world. Gathering at start/finish venues and entrants and officials maintaining the correct distances is a challenge. We were just about to abandon the VSCC Welsh Scatter when the idea of Shobdon Airfield was proposed, so today we had a meeting with the airfield controller and catering manager. Suddenly, all problems of space, access, competitors' parking, tea and cakes not to mention toilets were dealt with! Sharpen those pencils, find the Romer in the desk drawer, in October nav rallying should return to the roads of the Marches. Fingers crossed, candles lit and chickens livers sacrificed to the relevant deities of course.
