Next Club Event
This is the final round of the 2025/2026 Skipton Trophy championship based at The Smiths Arms at Beckwithshaw MR 104/267531 (what3words App = newly.billiard.cups) For those of you not familiar with a Scatter event it entails plotting a number of locations on a map, each with an easily identifiable question to answer. Each location has a points value which vary. You choose which locations to visit, in any order to get as many points as you can before returning to the pub within the time allowed. The crew with the most points wins. There will be a possible 36 locations to visit using maps 99 (bottom half) and 104 (top half). Of these 36 you should visit up to a maximum of 27. (Motorsport UK Regulation states ‘Competitors should be required to visit a number of points at random and no merit should be attached to visiting more than 75% of the points listed.’) Scrutineering from 6.30pm. Starting at any time between 7.00 and 8.00pm novice crews will be allowed 2.15hrs and expert crews 2.00hrs to get back to the pub, with anyone returning after 10.00pm being deemed out of time and incurring penalties. Anyone returning after 10.10pm will be excluded. Francis and Jane Tindall Event organisers.
