Matters Arising     Hot spot not 25-26^th July but 28-29^th August.

Chairman’s Report 

Lots of to and fro from MSA re ‘new regs’ some modification especially re 16 valves. Juniors not allowed to have 16valve engines. Regs sent back with change to 8valve.

Helmets if unsure check spec with Colin Salkeld, who is our Championship Eligibility Scrutineer for the year.

Colin has sent a list of scrutineers and noise meter officials for the event based at Causey. Berwick and Border usually organise their own.

Cancelled Meeting on Bank Holiday weekend in August as it clashes with the British Championship.

As Cramlington and Tynemouth already run a championship event it may be possible to allow one of the other clubs to run the meeting. (Alnwick)

Treasurer’s Report No report not at meeting

Secretary’ Report   Have sent 2nd draft copy returned for approval. Sounds positive that we can run with new classes.

Championship Co-ordinator’s Report   as secretary’s regarding Permit for Championship. On positive note we already have one registered competitor from the Borders.

Past Events Nothing to report.

Coming Events Berwick event possibly at East Ord. Berwick to confirm nearer date.

A.O.B

D.Wellden checked whether committee new about the cancellation of the event that Cramlington was due to host in August 28-29^th.

D.Wellden asked for a comment from members who were in attendance how they thought the season went. (Due to report back to MSA)

G.Harriason said he thought it ran quite well. There would be very little if any changes needed.

Believes that some people will still pass comment particularly with the current changes.

Colin Salkeld will do main events

G. Harrison: Noise test at all events will add to the cost,

G. Harrison believed that there would be 3 new starters in the juniors including G. Johnson.

G.Harrison discussed possibility of outing an environmental charge on the entry to cover cost of noise scrutineer.

Hopefully Karl to organise Marshalls for the season.

Discussion on training fore marshals. MSA no longer offer training. It is in the hands of a regional rep .Onus is on club to contact them to organise training sessions.

Cramlington going to try to stop non essential vehicles entering the pits. Only tow vehicle and trailer to be allowed in, no additional vehicles. Last year there was little room in the pits for cars to manoeuvre.

Next Meeting March 10^th  7.45 for an 8pm start

Meeting closed at 9.15pm
