Ross Motor Sports Club have been awarded the 'Best Off-road' event of the year national trophy for the 'Classic Kyrle Trial,' a motor trial event of approximately 70 miles.

With their Headquarters in Kyrle Street, Ross Motor Sports Club has existed since 1950. The club made its name and money through motorcycle scrambling, purchasing and renovating the premises in Kyrle Street with the proceeds. Motorcycle scrambling gradually turned into more car oriented sports over the years, and this is the type of event the club is now known for. The club run four National Championship events, which include the 'Kyrle Trial' and these attract entries from all over the country.

For further information on the club, you are welcome to contact Adrian Marfell on 01600 890218.

Make history, literally! Enlist and enrol now. . . The latest appeal has just been announced for craftspeople and enthusiastic volunteers to step back in time for this year's major new living history tourist attraction in The Royal Forest of Dean.

It might be the last chance for enthusiasts and the craft world to get involved in this pioneering and magical attraction before it opens to the public this spring. Offering educational, archaeological, geological and horticultural activities, Cinderbury Iron Age Experience is tipped to be an unforgettable day visitor attraction and unusual residential visitor holiday destination. As well as requesting physically able adults and Iron Age enthusiasts to assist with the main project build, the directors of Cinderbury are manning the phones awaiting calls from craftspeople nation-wide that want to play a part in this fascinating project from the beginning.

They want to hear from metalworkers that can do ironwork and bronze casting. They are also eager to talk to potters, textile workers, leather workers and people that make Celtic jewellery. Volunteering and demonstrating would be on a self-employed basis for around 3 days per week, both weekend and weekday availability is specifically requested. Their work would be showcased and sold in person on the Cinderbury site and also on the web site.

A selection of hands-on 'live' courses on the Cinderbury site relating to traditional Iron Age practices and methods on thatching, building smelting furnaces, kilns and clay ovens are to be announced within a few days.

To get involved call the Cinderbury Action Desk on 0870 609 3219 or email enquiries@cinderbury.co.uk

On Saturday last, I visited the Cinderbury site to see how things are progressing. It looks an exciting and interesting project and I can't wait for it to open. Pictured below are Jasper Blake, Dave Lines, Andrew Marchant, Phil Riches and Pete Long working on developing the site as well as a general view of the back to the future encampment.
