Introduction Wickford Auto Club is one of the few motor clubs
remaining in Essex and has been going strong for more than 30 years. We
have a wide ranging membership - including competitors, marshals,
organisers, spectators - and we have a wide geographical reach across
the whole of East Anglia and beyond. The Club has both male and female
members, so it is a myth that all motorsport enthusiasts & competitors
are men!
Wickford Auto Club has a great reputation for providing good quality
events at cost effective prices for competitors. The main event for the
Club is the annual Essex Charity Stages rally which is run on the first
Sunday in July. The rally attracts a strong entry and requires nearly
200 marshals & officials to make it a success.
We also run autocrosses, autotests, 12 car rallies and treasure hunts.
The autotests are open to any driver and young drivers are particularly
encouraged (provided they have a suitably experienced adult sitting next
to them). Autotests, 12 car rallies and treasure hunts involve the use
of standard road cars - so no modification of the car is required.
We help other Clubs to run events by providing well-trained marshals.
Novice marshals are always welcome and are partnered by experienced
marshals at the beginning. We have access to regional training days
which novices can attend to help build their confidence and knowledge of
how to cope with a range of rally situations.
For more information about Wickford Auto Club please feel free to
contact any of the committee members listed on the Officials page of
this website.
Stanley Graham
Chairman.
