A fine dry day and the first round of this years South East Centre Championship.

Rob & Andy were both looking forward to this event having only competed in one single round last year to finish 7^th overall. The course was at a regular trials ground/practice area that Rob & Andy had never seen before. The trial was set in a disused quarry with plenty of slippery chalk and some areas of very deep mud too!

 There were 10 demanding sections and four laps for each of the sidecar teams to negotiate, Rob & Andy had a small problem with the front brake not working correctly after new front shoes had been fitted during the week for this event. It was after the trial in the workshop found that the shoes had been manufactured incorrectly so this did hamper their performance somewhat (a new set of shoes fitted and problem now cured). They still managed a creditable 3^rd place finish so were pleased with this for their days effort.

The team now have a free weekend and then off to Newton Abbott in Devon for the 1^st Round of the Sammy Miller Pre 65 British Championship on 8^th March.
