Heroes Stages - NEW DATE 1 Nov 20 - CANCELLED

Event Cancelled

Posted: September 25, 2020 1:28 PM

"It is with sadness that the Heroes Stages Rally run by Pendle District MC, along with Garstang and Preston MC, have had to announce that the Heroes Stages Rally, which was due to take place on the 1st November has had to be cancelled for this year.

The MOD, due to Covid problems within the Preston area, have with regret withdrawn permission to use the camp. We have also been pondering of late whether it would be unwise, even though all the latest Covid 19 regulations have been put in place, to put on this event when local families are being restricted in their ability to see family and friends.

To our competitors, thank you for your forbearance and continued support. We hope we will see you in the near future and assure you we tried our best to get this event on.

To our sponsors Neil & Dawn Roskell from ND Civils, thank you for your support.

To all our marshals, radio, timing, results and safety personnel – we again thank you for your continued support. Also to MSUK for their efforts and support of this event.

We know how many of you were willing to give up your time to support us and be available and prepared to stand out in whatever conditions the November date threw at us.

Unfortunately despite all our efforts it was not to be. We are sorry to disappoint everyone and we hope to see you all again next year at the Lee Holland Stages Anglesey in March and the Heroes stages in August.

Entries will be refunded as soon as possible.

Look after yourselves and more importantly stay safe in these turbulent times."

Pendle District MC with Garstang and Preston MC's

PLEASE NOTE.
We are now able to confirm that we have secured a new date of 1st November 2020 for the running of the Heroes Stage Rally at Weeton Barracks. This is now being planned to be a full stage Rally.

This of course is dependent on all the correct authorisations and COVID restrictions at the time being able to be adhered to.

Please put it in your diaries and keep an eye on the Pendle District MC website for further updates.

It is also intended that the regs and entries will open this weekend 12/13th September so please keep an eye open.

After long and thoughtful deliberation, with the greatest effort given by all the organising committee, the organisers have taken the decision that the planned stage rally cannot go ahead in the present climate.

We understand that this news will be sad for many of you who enjoy the rally.However due to the uncertain times we are in at the moment, the Government and therefore MSUK current social distancing guidelines, PPE requirements etc.. we feel that we are making the right decision.

The MOD have also not yet opened the venue to motorsport and we have no indication of when this will occur. Hotels and guest houses are still not open yet either.

In fairness to all our competitors, marshals, Medical, Recovery and organisers safety and well-being it would be extremely difficult to adhere to current social distancing measures and certainly as far as the drivers and navigators are concerned impossible.

We know this is not the news that you are wanting to hear. We have not taken this decision lightly and we thank you all for previous support and hope that we can count on your continued support on future events.

Stay safe and healthy and hopefully see or/and hear you all shortly when we can get back to the Motorsport we love.
