Mid Sussex to run with ACU
By TMX Archives on 1st Feb 13
Mid Sussex MCC is a family run club that has been hosting motocross events in and around the South East for over 20 years.
After some recent discussions, the club has decided to affiliate and run all its events under the auspices of the ACU.
Club representatives spoke with ACU director, Roy Humphrey, at the club's recent AGM, where Roy outlined the extensive ACU Insurance which gives ACU organisers, officials and competitors alike up to £30,000,000 public liability cover.
During the 2013 season the club plan to host a 12-round Club Championship at seven different venues.
Following the news ACU chairman, Brian Higgins commented: "Obviously, we are delighted to welcome Mid Sussex MCC back into our fold and I am sure this will work favourably for both the club and the ACU. With GEST (Hastings) operating in the same area, these two major clubs will be able to work together and create an environment for riders to have plenty of good motocross events during the year.
"My aim is to visit one of their events during the season, but as with all our clubs, the ACU is there to give them as much support as they require.”
Speaking on behalf of Mid Sussex MCC, Riona Woodman said: "Mid Sussex is very happy to be affiliated with the ACU for the 2013 Season, we look forward to building on what has started out as a great relationship.
The ACU has acted on and answered all our questions and concerns in an extremely prompt and professional manor, making the change as smooth as possible.
"We look forward to getting together and batting ideas around with GEST, hopefully strengthening the future of both clubs. Most of our members now have the opportunity to get more out of their licence so everyone is a winner – or at least until the gate drops!”
For 2013 the Mid Sussex Club Championship will take place on the following dates and venues:– March 31 - Shermanbury; April 14 - Ringmer; April 21 - Golding Barn; May 4/5 - Rusper; May 19 - Shermanbury; June 2 - Oxshott; June 16 - Hellingly; June 30 - Chippenham; July 14 - Oxshott; August 10 - Oxshott; August 25/26 Rusper; and September 15 - Hellingly.
