🏁 SDRCC AGM 2026 – The Roundup 🏁
Thanks to everyone who joined us on Google Meet for this year's AGM. Here's what you need to know.
🏆 2026 in Review
It's been a great year at the club, and the weather mostly played ball! Racing has been close, fair and respectful, and the club has taken another big step forward:
✅ On-road fencing replaced and modified, giving us a much more together pit area. Competitors at the second SORS round hosted at the club had lots of good things to say about it.
✅ A bigger and better off-road track, our biggest investment this year, which brought in travelling racers from further afield.
A huge thank you to everyone who gave up their time at the maintenance days. You know who you are, and the club is going from strength to strength because of you.
💷 Club Finances
We held steady at 32 paid members (adults and juniors), and the club's finances are in good health. A special thank you to George Gauld for his very generous donation. 🙏
Membership and race fees stay the same for 2027:
• Adult Member £40 | Junior Member £20
• Member: 1 class £7 | 2 classes £10
• Non-Member: 1 class £14 | 2 classes £20
🆕 New Class for 2027
A proposal to add a 1/8th scale electric on-road class was passed. It's open to any 1/8th electric on-road car for the first year so nobody is excluded, and we'll keep an eye on any mismatch in speeds. Race day and calendar details will be agreed with those wanting to run.

🔮 Looking Ahead to 2027
🛠️ No major winter pack-up needed this year. Chris is looking after the lipos and mower battery over the winter.
🛠️ Planned projects: a second set of stairs and a cover for the off-road rostrum, to get the facility ready to host a national if we're awarded one.
