The annual Christmas Auction raised £360 which was donated to Springhill Hospice in Rochdale for which the club has received a thank you letter and a certificate from Springhill Hospice.

A year ago President Ted Roberts revived the Knowldale Championship. Awards for 2024 were presented at the Bella Vista Dinner in January, following which Ted introduced his Club Championship Register and Travelling Championship Record Cards.

Points can be scored for Stage Rallies (with extra points for International and National events,) Speed Events, Road Rallies and Tours, as well as for marshalling on and organising events.

This year, 20 members have taken part in the Championship on 50 different events, altogether recording 145 points claims.

Awards for the 2025 Championship will be presented at the Christmas Party Auction on Tuesday 9th December. Points totals are in the table below. (Points for any events in the remaining weeks of 2025 will count towards the 2026 championship.)

The Knowldale Autumn Tour 2025
Code Board Check Sheet Scores
23 code boards were put out on the route. No one got the third board, cunningly placed at the end of a row of chevron repeater boards. The course closing car did get it though! One board towards the end had blown over in the wind so you may have missed that one. The highest score achieved was 22.
