WEST CUMBRIA MOTORSPORT CLUB

Our motorsport club was formed when West Cumberland Motorsport Club and Workington and District Motorspces back in the mid 90's, but West Cumberland Motorsport Club dates back to the early 1900's when it was know as the West Cumberland Cycle Club. The club was then reformed after the war, and in 1923 was renamed West Cumberland Motorcycle Club and enjoyed many years organising small trials and event's.

It was in the 60's when the club started to get noticed and changed the name again to West Cumberland Motorsport Club as it was now organising Stage (Fellside Stages) and Night Events (Peak Revs).When the Two club's merged the Workington and District Motorclub were running the Derwent Stages and under our new Club Name ran this up until sadly the foot and mouth struck Cumbria. Unfortunately for us the burial site for the cattle was where we held the Derwent Stages Rally and we had lost our event to this awful tragedy .

We now organise such event's as Twelve cars, Scatters, Autotests, and Treasure Hunt's all of which are explained on other web pages and have finnaly found a venue for a single venue event. The Greystoke Forest which is situated near Penrith will be our new rally venue which we are running for the first time this year, on the 13th July.

We hold Meetings every month at the Sheep and Wool Centre, which is just outside Cockermouth on the A66 and if you have read other pages on this site (events) it will keep you up to date on every thing we do. If you have any questions on anything we do in our club please don't hesitate to get in touch just e-mail me at ryan.winthrop@mypostoffice.co.uk i will try and answer any of your questions
