On the grapevine I hear they have some new ideas for this year.
Previous winners of the Venus Cup (presented by Miss Patsy Bickell) are:
1958 P. D. Sapsed
1959 P. D. Sapsed
1960 R. I. WinderMay will find us in Stevenage for our restricted Driving Tests. This event is known as the Falcontest and was first held under this name in 1959. To find a suitable venue for driving tests is a problem and this time we have a new and possibly unusual venue in the Football Ground at London Road, Stevenage. Actually, with the changes in Stevenage through the New Town this ground will cease as a football pitch at the end of the present season. However, a grass course should prove interesting and I expect competition to be keen amongst Falcon members competing for the Pictorial Cup.
1959 N. Tyler
1960 M. Lawrence and N. TylerFlaming June (we hope) and the permit will be closed for some friendly club driving tests which for several years have been held in a field at Woolmer Green by courtesy of Dudley and Tommy Bridger. With long summer evenings this has been a family affair with the children playing in the field while Dad gets tied up in knots and picnic parties under the trees.
1958 was quite a significant year for the Club for three reasons, the first was our tenth birthday, the second was an event run by the ladies, and number three our first Autocross. Ever since Tempsford closed we had been looking for a course not too far away to hold a speed event, but having had no luck for two years, we approached our farmer members and now hold an Autocross meeting in July. Apart from individual awards the main competition centres on club teams. Norman Tyler, who often delighted spectators with some hair raising runs in his Chandler Special presented the cup for the winning team.
Winning Cub teams are:
1958 Sporting Owner Drivers Club
1959 Cambridge 50 Car Club
1960 East Anglia Motor Club
