The chairman of Motor Sport UK flew into Cumbria to present Wigton Motor Club with a prestigious award for coming second in the Motor Club of the Year.
David Richards landed his helicopter at the Motor House at Moota to attend the annual awards buffet held by the club and in a speech outlined the radical changes that were being made in the governing body of motorsport in the UK.
He also congratulated the club on running a first aid course for marshals, funded by MSUK.
He presented the trophy and a cheque for £500 to club president Charles Graves while two other members, Ron Palmer and Graeme Forrester were presented with long service awards.
Wigton Motor Club has over 800 members spread throughout Cumbria and meet at their recently completed HQ, the motor house at Moota.
The next Cars and Coffee meeting is this Sunday from 10am until noon.
