Off-Road Events - Again!

May 05, 2005 2 Replies

Hi all, just a bit more info about what DEFRA (or whatever it's called this week) are up to regarding motor sport. A land owner in Linconshire is reliably reported as having encountered the following. During informal discussions with an official he was advised that he should "carry on to the end of the year, then we'll see what happens". He quite rightly regarded this with suspicion and made formal enquiries at a higher level. This resulted in a letter stating that if he went ahead, not only would he stand a chance of loosing any grants directly related to motor sport, be he could loose *all* his grants. Oh, and a Model Aeroplane Club counts as motor sport by the way.



There's still time to vote!!!!!
