Pete House Memorial Meeting 2024
Evening all, well what can we say, the Pete House memorial meeting 2024 was a amazing day. π
Normally after a BMCC meeting the focus of the posts is about the racing, who won, and how the finals went etc, but this is not a normal post race report.
It may sound soppy, but on Saturday everybody won!, no matter what final, or place you finished. The idea of this event is to remember a very much missed member of our RC community, have fun, raise some money for charity, and to sit and chat, and race some friends old and new. Hopefully that’s what you all did.
We had past BMCC drivers turn up to race, current racers that have just not had time of late to race come and play, and even BMCC drivers from 20 plus years ago join us for the afternoon, and the raffle! We thank you all π
The only winner of the day that this post will mention, (and you can’t actually win it by winning!) is Daren Wood.
Evey year the BMCC team choose a racer who “sees the bigger picture” of our little RC world, just like Pete did. It’s not about the winning, it’s about the place, the people, the hobby, and doing what’s right.
So in 2024 the Pete House memorial shield went to Daren Wood, congratulations mate, Pete would be proud.
We should take this chance to say thank you to the Aldingbourne Community Sports Centre. They very kindly gave us the hall for free for the day, which means that all the money raised from entries, donations, and the raffle can go to the air ambulance.
Also thanks go to Stuart Hollebon, he was in attendance all day taking pics and filming for his fb page, stuarts rc photos and video, and to Dave Rogers from flippin tasty for doing the food, and judging our concourse event, thanks guysπ
As always thanks go to Rob and Juilet and Gordon, on race control, and the rest of the BMCC team for helping to set up, and pack away.
Finally an absolutely massive thanks to all who raced, donated raffle prizes, bought raffle tickets, donated money, and made the day what it was, roll on 2025π
All the race results are in the Results section of the club website, and photos and videos are on the fb page. If you want more go to stuarts fb pages or youtube channel.
That’s all for tonight, the final total raised this year is Β£660.75.
