NORC has a wonderful calendar for 2024 with interesting locations. All will be exposed at the AGM, so come along and find out what we have in store.

Sponsors

Sponsors’ contributions significantly help us to keep the costs down for entrants and create publicity for our events. NORC makes sure they get the acknowledgement and thanks they deserve. There is scheme in place to allow the sponsors the have the recognition they deserve. Without them we would not survive to keep going. If you or someone you know can sponsor NORC please get in touch - it’s cheaper than you think, with different packages to suit everyone.

AGM

With increased interest in outdoor activities, including racing events, these require a lot of attention to detail. All the committee members give up their spare time to deliver an event which is both safe and enjoyable. Due to various individual and global things tend to change and this has also played a part in our committee. All the committee members still believe we have managed to make it possible to organize successful year with no exception of various obstacles.

We have had an amazing committee team in 2023. Where we have agreed and may have disagreed, but managed to do well, and we are thriving to do better.

Your opinions will be sought after at the AGM so come along and have your say. Please note, any proposals need to be sent in writing or by email no later than  3 days BEFORE THE AGM in order for them to be voted on.

Anyone with trophies from last year, please ensure we receive them back as soon as possible, as they will need to be engraved in time for the awards dinner dance in February.

We wish you all continued success in 2024 and we hope to see a positive attendance at the AGM, and of course at the presentation Dinner on 17th of February 2024. See our new website for tickets!
