On the 28th and 29th of September Carmarthen motor club held their Autumn road rally, a road rally that made up the eighth round of the welsh road rally championship as well as being a round in Lampeter’s own road rally championship. It was a rally that returned to the calendar six years ago after a twenty-seven-year break. This year’s rally would consist of some 100 miles made up on OS maps 145, 146 and 159 and started and finished from the cattle market in Carmarthen. The rally had attracted a very strong entry and in among them were several club members, with the first being Dafydd Evans who was once again partnered with Kevin “Penclaw” Jones in Kevin’s Toyota corolla. They were seeded at five. Anther navigator followed and that was Cadog Davies at seven who was again with George Williams in George’s Mk2 Ford escort. George and Cadog haven’t been having the best luck in this year’s championship but they were hoping to turn that around on this event and get some big scores in for the final rounds of the season. Stefan “DR” Davies was at nine in his regular Mk2 Ford escort, he had Justin Davies on map duties. There was a trio of Lampeter members at twelve, thirteen and fourteen with Malcolm “tar” Jones and Rhys Jones taking twelve in their GTI 180 specification Peugeot 206. Right behind them were Gari Evans and Marc Hughes in Gari’s immaculately prepared Mk2 Ford escort. Rounding off the trio was Wayne Jones who had Richard Williams with him, they would be in Wayne’s Peugeot 206 GTI. At twenty-seven was Daniel Williams I his regular BMW 318Ti, he had regular navigator Shaun Richards with him. Andrew Davies was navigating for Arwel Thomas at fifty-five in another GTI 180 specification Peugeot 206. Daniel Parsons was another navigator at sixty-one in an escort. Rounding off club members was Mark Station was also navigating, in car seventy-six for Ben Saunders in a
LDMC AGM 2019
The Annual general meeting (AGM) will be held on the 13th of November at 7.30pm in Lampeter rugby club. Anyone wishing to raise anything in the AGM please contact me for it to be added to the agenda as there will not be an 'Any Other Business' on the agenda.
It would be nice to see a full rugby club for the meeting, to even out the work load between our members to help make the running of the club easier and better everybody.
Remember, there will also be discussion regarding next years championships.
Andy Davies with Michael Gilbey celebrate their championship victory with their crew (Andy Davies)
Andy Davies who with regular navigator Michael Gilbey recently managed to achieve one of their motorsport ambitions, by winning the Group N Irish tarmac rally championship as well as winning overall IRTC2 champions, an incredible achievement in their first year of tarmac rallying after a yearlong battle in the Irish lanes. Their story begins back in 2018 as they took a year out of stage rallying to try and achieve one of their other ambitions, which was to win the welsh road rally championship, an ambition that they did indeed achieve. However, during 2018 Andy and Michael decided to venture out to Ireland to spectate one of the most famous tarmac rallies out there, the Donegal international. At this point Andy had never competed on a tarmac stage rally, let alone an Irish one, when all of a sudden it was suggested that he take IDZ the road rally car out, and as Andy says “the rest is history!”
