Summer Programme 2026
As we did in 2025, over the summer we’re going to continue to meet weekly. We will be running the Club Championship, with five dates set aside for that, but with scope for other events alongside for anyone who isn’t involved. Aside from the Club Championship we’ll also be continuing our Rapid Rally series of events events.
