The board and members of Cheltenham Motor Club wish to offer their sincere
condolences to the Royal Family following the passing of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II.
As the organisers of the Hills Ford 3 Shires Stages (September 17/18),
scheduled to take place during the period of national mourning, the club has
decided to postpone the event until a future date.
"As a mark of respect, we feel it would be inappropriate to continue with the
running of the event whilst the country is in a state of mourning," states Alyn
Edwards, clerk-of-the-course.
"The club gives full consideration to residents'
emotions at this time and believes postponing the rally and looking for an
alternative date over the next few months will be the most sensible route for
everyone. We hope this will assist residents through this very sad time," adds
Kevin C Smith, Event Director and Chairman of Cheltenham Motor Club.
Officials from Cheltenham Motor Club will now liaise with all interested parties,
including the motorsport governing body, council officials, residents,
championships and venue owners, to investigate a replacement date. A further
announcement will be made in due course.
The organisers also wish to extend their sincere thanks to all officials, residents,
participants and other interested parties who have worked so hard to bring this
event to fruition.
