THE NEW YEAR STAGES @ Kirkistown Race Circuit - 18 Jan 03 Posted: January 14, 2003 9:42 AM

Thanks to Gareth McKay

THE NEW YEAR STAGES is set to take place on Saturday 18 January despite earlier concerns that not enough entries had been received for the event.

The problem arose when it became apparent that regulations which were posted to competitors in late November didn't arrive at their intended destinations and many competitors didn't know the event was due to take place. This resulted in a severe lack of entries received by the 500 Club in the lead up to the event but Club Chairman, Donal O'Neill, has just confirmed with Ral.ly Portal that the 2003 New Year Stages will definitely take place.
