Driver contest
A MIDDLESEX/RUISLIP CMLDoY contest will be held on Sunday, July 4 at the DoE HGV Testing Centre, Yeading. As announced in CM (April 2) this event replaces the South Ruislip one for this year only. The organising secretary is Mr David Sells, Goodyear Tyre Co Ltd, 1 Meadow Drive, Amersham, Bucks (tel Amersham 4942). Mr Sells will circularise all 1975 Ruislip entrants and the full range of Ruislip trophies will be awarded.
The York committee has not been able to organise a contest this year, but a date for the West Yorks event at Leeds is expected very shortly. All 1975 entrants will receive notices.

YORK Trailers are expanding their service network with two new branches at Ipswich and Southampton. The Southampton branch is fully equipped to fit third-axles and special trailers.
The Ipswich centre is at present working from temporary premises. Full spares service and service facilities will be available when the new building is completed on the same site.
