Entries are open for the Barbon Hillclimbs

March 9th, 2023 • By: Chairman Aintree, Barbon, Events, Hillclimb, News, regs

We’ve opened our entries system for you to enter this year’s Barbon Hillclimbs.

Go to our Barbon Hillclimbs page for more information: https://www.liverpoolmotorclub.com/barbon-hillclimb

We know times are hard for everyone and motorsport organisers are feeling the pinch too.

If we are to keep Barbon alive, we need to attract every competitor that we can. Barbon isn’t a permanent venue and apart from the £30 fee per competitor that goes to MSUK, every penny goes back into running the events. Will you support us in 2023?

Sadly, the message is simple, use it or lose it.

Will we see you at Barbon this year?

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!

December 15th, 2022 • By: Chairman Aintree, Events, News, sprint, trackdays, Uncategorized

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?

October 1st, 2022 • By: Chairman Aintree, Bulletins, Events, News, sprint

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).
