Legend Fires Greystoke Stages 2017 - Sunday 9th of July
Posted: November 17, 2016 9:31 AM
Organisers of the Greystoke Stages rally, held annually in July at Greystoke Forest in Cumbria, were left with concerns about the rally after their main event sponsor withdrew following the 2016 event. However, after discussions and meetings over the last few weeks Clerk of the Course, Roger Fisher, is now able to announce an exciting new major rally sponsor for 2017.
Roger said "It was concerning for us when P & R Benn ended their long relationship with the rally but we are now delighted to welcome Legend Fires as our main sponsor and supporter for 2017 giving competitors, and ourselves, confidence and reassurance for next year. Legend Fires Director, John Stone, was very enthusiastic about his company becoming connected with our event which he has seen himself first hand as a competitor on the 2016 running of the rally. So, I am now able to confirm the Legend Fires Greystoke Stages 2017 is planned for Sunday 9th July next year."
John Stone, Director at Legend Fires and a stalwart of the tarmac rally scene for many years in a variety of cars, added
"I was mighty impressed with the efficiency, friendliness, quality and attention to detail I saw on the 2016 Greystoke Stages, from a competitor's point of view, and these are all qualities that are at the core of what we strive to achieve here at Legend Fires. So, when I was approached to take up the opportunity of our company becoming the rally's main sponsor I didn't take long to make up my mind and fill the void." John went on to say "Becoming more closely involved with the forest rallying sector and raising the profile of Legend Fires in a developing catchment area for us makes good business sense as well. We will of course maintain our relationship with the Legend Fires North West Stages and see the backing of these two events as giving us a balanced programme of support in North West England."
