JOINT STATEMENT BY WHICKHAM & DISTRICT MOTOR CLUB AND HADRIAN MOTOR SPORTS CLUB
It is with a great deal of frustration and disappointment, that we are announcing the cancellation of the 2024 Ford Parts Cheviot Stages Rally. After the rejection of the bid for our planned September date, further negotiations with the Military to secure a suitable date later in the year and agreement to use the range roads required to form a viable route have been unsuccessful.
This is especially frustrating after the cancellation of the 2023 event and also as positive work had been ongoing with the range tenants to re establish competitive use of some of the roads that had been denied to us for a number of years. We would also like to acknowledge that this would have been the 20th anniversary of running in memory of Keith Knox and are sad that we are unable to honour his name again on the event this year.
We also extend our thanks for the support of the North of England Tarmacadam Championship in trying to re schedule our date.
2025 is another year - we will endeavour to bounce back from this.
Colin Salkeld
Chairman Whickham DMC.
