George Williams and Cadog Davies on route to second overall on the PK memorial (Joseph John Gilbertson)

The PK memorial rally, organised by Bala and District motor club took place on the 27th and 28th of June, making up the fifth round of the welsh road rally championship as well as a round of the club’s own road rally championship. Once again the Rhug estate would be rally HQ, and a route of some 80 miles over OS maps 116 and 125 would greet the competitors. 

A handful of club members would make the trip up North in a bid to add to their scoresheets, with Andy Davies taking the number 1 spot in his familiar Subaru Impreza, he would have last year’s winning navigator Kieran Price with him. George Williams and Cadog Davies would start at 3 in their Mk2 Ford escort, now with some miles under their belts with the new car having finished fifth on the recent classic lanes. Arwyn Jones and Mathew Pryce would start at 5 in their Honda powered Mk2 Ford escort, Arwyn is currently second in the welsh road rally championship and Mathew is also doing very well currently, they were both hoping for a strong finish here to keep their tally up. Arfon Jones would start at 23 in his Subaru Impreza, once again with Chris Hill on the maps they were another crew out for a strong result. Right behind them at 24 were Phillip and Lewis Jenkins in their Mk2 Ford escort, here was another pair capable of a big result, having had a number of strong finishes over the past few events.
