AS we are again jointly organising the South Yorkshire Transport Rally, now in its sixth year, we wish to stress that although the event is chiefly aimed at historic vehicles there are classes for modern goods and passenger vehicles.
Through Commercial Motor, we would like to invite dealers operators and bodybuilders to enter new and recent lorries and psvs. These will not only serve as a comparison with the historic entries, but will also give the owners a chance to publicise their activities.
Also there are trophies for the best modern commercial and psv, as judged by a panel from the industry. I am sure than entrants will realise the opportunities for further publicity if they manage to win their class.
Examples of companies who have entered the modern vehicle classes in the past include. Mertrux Ltd: Phillips Truck Services; Kirkby-Central; David Cowell Transport; Whitbread (East Pennines); Joshua Tetly; Shefflex Ltd; Caravan Transport; Ringtons Tea; Barber Road Services; Wallace Arnold, National Travel (East) and City of Oxford Motor Services.
This year we have space for more of such entries, as the event has returned to its original venue — Norfolk Park in the heart of Sheffield.
The date is September 28 and I should point out that entries received before August 26 will receive a free commemorative plaque.
Further details and entry forms are available from Ian A. Suttle, SYTS Rally Secretary, 840 Barnsley Road, Sheffield S5 OQG (tel 0742 384540_ PAUL REDFERN Publicity Officer South Yorks Transport Society Sheffield
