Tour of Cheshire, Oulton Park, 4th March – We need your help!
We are running the tests at Oulton Park once again for the excellent Tour of Cheshire Classic Rally, on Saturday 4th March.
The event will be visiting the Rally/Drift stage at Oulton in the morning and again in the afternoon, with two tests on each visit.
We need your help!
We need around 20 people to look after the tests, marshals to look after the starts & finishes, observers to note any cars that touch a cone or go all 4 wheels off, and marshals to direct cars to the correct start area as they arrive. Can you help? Past experience isn’t necessary for most roles, nor are orange overalls.
Timetable:-
Morning:
Sign on by: 07.48
Test opens: 08.48
Car 0: 09.18
Test closes: 11.03
Afternoon:
Sign on by: 13.44
Test opens: 14.44
Car 0: 15.14
Test closes: 17.01
Ok, it’s an early start but it’s well worthwhile!
We welcome volunteers who can only help in the morning, or only in the afternoon.
For more info, or to volunteer, please contact LMC’s rally coordinator Geoff Maine on 07854 807447 or mainesp33d@gmail.com or see our Friends of LMC Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/groups/liverpoolMCfriends

2023 LMC Speed Championship Calendar
The calendar for the 2023 Liverpool Motor Club Speed Championship is now on the Championship website at www.speedchampionship.com.
We shall open registrations in mid-February, and you can enter the Championship at any time until registrations close on 1st July. However, results will not be counted retrospectively, so we recommend registering well before your first event of the season.
We hope you’ll join us!

Well done – you’ve raised over £1250 for North West Air Ambulance charity!
Thank You!
By adding a donation to your entry fee for our 2022 events at Aintree, plus the raffle held at our birthday dinner in November, we have been able to pass on to the North West Air Ambulance Charity the magnificent sum of £1257 this year. (The full amount of your donations has been sent, the Club has covered all payment charges.)
The Charity is funded entirely by donations and doesn’t receive any financial support from the Government or local authorities and is extremely grateful to have received your donations.
Here’s a note of thanks from the Charity regional fundraiser:-
15 December 2022
Dear John and everyone at Liverpool Motor Club,
Thank you so much for raising an incredible £1257.00 on behalf of the North West Air Ambulance Charity. Your generous gift means that we can continue flying to save lives across the North West region 365 days a year.
Because of you, the North West Air Ambulance Charity is able to fly the most advanced medical crew and equipment to people when and where they need it the most. We bring the hospital to the patient and can provide surgical interventions, blood transfusions, and deliver lifesaving procedures at the roadside to increase the chance of survival and make a lifesaving difference.
Many people in your local community would not be here today without the North West Air Ambulance Charity, and we are only here because of people like you.
We receive no government or NHS funding to carry out the vital life-saving work that we do, and we must raise over £9.5m to operate and attend the 2,500 incidents we are called to each year.
If you are interested in finding out more about the work we do across the North West and how your money is making a difference, please visit www.nwairambulance.org.uk or follow us on social media.
Thank you once again for your continued support on behalf of everyone here at the North West Air Ambulance Charity..
Best wishes
Catherine Rose
Regional Fundraiser

We still need a volunteer Entries Secretary for our 3 Aintree Sprints. Can you Help?
We need a volunteer to take on the role of Entries Secretary for our 2023 Sprints at Aintree.
The role involves:
Accepting online entries for our three annual Aintree Sprints – entries open in February each year
Compiling the entry list for each event
Sending final instructions to competitors just before each event
Sending results to competitors
Dealing with occasional queries from competitors
Basic working knowledge of Microsoft Excel would be a distinct advantage but much of the entries system is automated.
The role would particularly suit a retired member looking to be involved behind the scenes.
There is no requirement to attend the events, though you would be most welcome. Because it is almost entirely done online, it may be possible for the role to be shared remotely by two people.
Full support will be available from other members of the organising team throughout the season.
(Note that the role covers the three Aintree sprints only. You would not be expected to deal with entries for our Aintree Track Days or Barbon Hillclimbs)
Can you help?
For more information, without obligation, please contact John Harden (select Chairman on our Contact us page) or the current incumbent David Hunt (select Entries Secretary on our Contact us page).
