It’s that time of year again. In less than a fortnight’s time, we will be staging a centre-piece of our racing calendar, the Fred Pearce Memorial Relay. It’s an event dear to all our hearts.

The Fred Pearce Memorial Relay, Lady Wilton Hall, Simister, Manchester M25 2SB will be held on Saturday, July 23 – starting 1.00 p.m.

Looking ahead, Dave Evans is making a special plea to let him know if you are attending and in what capacity. We need to give Christine Pearce, who provides both food and prizes, an idea of numbers. In addition, Dave needs to know if you intend to race as he has the unenviable task of deciding on the make-up of the teams contesting the relay.
