Stanta Christmas Targa Rally
On Saturday 29th December 2018 Anglia Motor Sport Club, will organise a "closed to club" single-venue Targa Rally at Stanta Battle Ground, Norfolk in association with Sporting Car Club of Norfolk, West Suffolk Motor Sport Club and Eastern Counties Motor Club.
Stanta is a venue we have recently gained access to, and currently organise an annual Autosolo event, but we have secured an additional area to enable us to run a Targa Rally. Stanta is the training site for the military and it is an honour to be able to use the venue.
The Targa Rally has a number of one to two mile driving tests set out in different layouts which may vary during the day.
The permit for this event means that it is run as a closed-to-club event which avoids the need for an MSA competition licence but means all competitors must be able to confirm Anglia Motor Sport Club membership by producing an appropriate club membership card at signing on.

AMSC Officials Training Day
Officials Training Session - Saturday 24th November
Horringer Community Centre, Horringer, Bury St Edmunds IP29 5RU
10.30am for 11.00am Start, Finishing at 3.00pm with the option to stay for chat at end.
AMSC Committee members have been very impressed by the Training Sessions provided at MSA Seminars. These sessions have been largely aimed at bigger events such as stage rallies and Nat B and we thought there was real scope to help those organising a Club event.
With great support from Alan Page, Head of Training at MSA, Colnbrook, we have constructed a one-day Training Seminar directed towards running any Club event for all people regarded as Event Officials.
That means:
Clerk of Course, Event Secretary, Chief Marshal, Scrutineer, Timekeeper, Results Team, Club Steward, Entries Sec, Safety Officer and Event Treasurer
And anyone else having a role in the management of an event before, during or after it.
The day is designed for EVERYONE who is an EVENT OFFICIAL currently or who would like to get in to event management in the future.
Emphasis will be put on the new pressures facing the Organising Team, particularly regarding Safety and Incident Management, Regulation Changes, Public Perception etc. It will not be a Lecture. We hope for a lot of interaction and, since the group will be coming from local clubs, most people will know each other. We hope for around 40 attendees from ‘old hands’ to total newcomers. We would like each AMSC club to send several members.
Doors open at 1030 for coffee etc., with the first session beginning at 1100. There will be a buffet lunch provided, followed by a couple of afternoon sessions, finishing formally at 1530 with plenty of time to chat afterwards. Tea and coffee will be available all day. The whole day will be free to the individual, the MSA providing considerable financial assistance.
It will be led by Alan Page who is coming personally to help deliver the sessions.
We hope this will be a worthwhile day, helping to ensure our sport thrives into the future.
Please book the day in your diary and speak to your Comp Sec about representing your Club.
