Congratulations Damian and James
Last weekend saw the running of the Cheviot Keith Knox Stages Rally up at Otterburn, and by all accounts it was a cracking event!
Feedback from the competing crews was that it was a very well run event with a lot of thought having gone into the organisation, and that sort of feedback is always very gratefully received by both Hadrian and Whickham.
Congratulations must obviously go to Damian Cole and James Morgan for their excellent first overall, and everyone who finished on the day.
A huge vote of thanks must also go to all the Marshals, Radio Crews, Organisers, Safety Crews and everyone else who helped out on the day. Without you all it wouldnt have been possible. Thank you all.

Changes on the Ranges…
Details of the UTS Cheviot Keith Knox Stages Rally are emerging and it appears that prospective competitors will be tackling a very compact event this year.
The high amount of military activity on the Otterburn Military Ranges has also had a positive effect on the proposed route. Although they have been restricted purely to the Eastern side of the Ranges, the organisers have come up with an event containing some 88 miles of special stages, with fewer than five road miles!
The short public road sections have, in turn, kept the Road Traffic Act insurance down to just £15 per car and the entry fee will be a total of £335. This figure includes the provision of numbers and it has also been decreed that the recce fee element will be donated to ‘Race 2 Recovery’ to help them in their efforts to raise money for their chosen charities.
Message from Race2Recovery
"On behalf of all the Race2recovery team members, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the organisers, marshals and competitors in this year's UTS Cheviot Keith Knox Rally for their generous support of our program. We would also like to wish everyone a thrilling and safe event this year.
"Unfortunately, none of the team is able to make it to the event, as we are competing elsewhere on that weekend. However, as you can imagine, we all know Otterburn fairly well and can only imagine what a fantastic venue it would make for the rally.
"I know the rally has an excellent reputation for competition and organisation and I'm sure that everyone involved will enjoy their time at Otterburn, hopefully far more than members of the armed forces tend to!
"Once again, many thanks to everyone for your support and have a great weekend."
Captain Tony Harris,
Driver
