Welcome to the Bill Cammack Memorial Trophy Rally . The event is named after a founder member of the Club and we are pleased to welcome back our sponsors for the event Mortgage Options and Brock Rallysport and trust this will continue for many years to come.
The event is the first for 2008 in the ANEMMC and EMAMC calendars and we welcome new and experienced competitors alike.
