Club Nights :: We hold a variety of different evenings throughout the year, when we’re not out on our summer drive, or battling it out on the virtual stages on our e-sports night, we can be found searching for answers on our photo hunt or Pathfinder events. We also have film nights, drink & natter nights and guest speakers. We have also run first aid / first on scene nights too. Ever wanted to know more about pacenotes or navigating? We have nights dedicated to them too.

Club nights are held on the 2nd Thursday of the month and are usually held at The Howard Arms, Brampton, CA8 1NG.

The Blue Streak Targa Rally :: Held annually in North Cumbria, based in and around Brampton. It takes its name from the rocket that many of our early members worked on.

Marshalling :: Club members marshal on many local events including stage rallies such as the Malcolm Wilson Rally, Kielder Forest Rally, Carlisle Stages. We also marshal on vintage rallies like The Flying Scotsman, LE JOG, and the Generations Rally. We also always need marshals to marshal on our event, the Blue Streak Targa Rally.

If you don’t want to compete, get close to the action by marshalling.

Stage Rallying :: The Club organizes the Spadeadam Motor Club Stage Rally Championship, which has counting rounds on most local rallies. Competitors use stage rally cars which have safety and protective measures built in. A rally car at speed in the forestry or on tarmac is spectacular to watch.

Autotests :: Control your car around a tight course of cones on either loose, tar and grass surface whilst attempting to set the fastest time – difficult but fun !! The club also has a “club car” available for newcomers to try the sport (the C2 pictured below).

Soap Box Derby :: Fun day when “brave (?)” racers hurtle down a closed track on home built karts – spectacular action and crashes guaranteed. Regulations can be found here. Spadeadam MC has a long history of Soapbox racing, the photo below shows soapbox racing in the early 90s.

Scenic Tours and Classic Events :: Not everyone’s idea of fun is whizzing down hills on soapboxes, or throwing a car around cones. We want all our members to have events that they can enjoy. If your idea of a good day out is a run through beautiful scenery in your “special car” (or the family “shopping trolley”), with good food and good company, our social runs are what you are after.

We also held our very first Classic Show in 2023, and hope to build on its success in 2024!

To see what we have planned for the coming year, the 2024 event calendar can be found HERE.
