Builth Wells Motor Club Ltd Hare and Hound Series Round 3 Bwlchciliau Forest The final round of the Hare and Hound series which took place on the 4th November 2007 at Bwlchciliau forest was another successful event for Builth Wells Motor Club. It rounded off the series with just over a hundred entries and the feedback from riders was that they had had a very enjoyable day. The weather during the few weeks leading up to the event had been good and the ground was perfect for a course which covered approximately 8 miles. There was a mixture of terrain which provided plenty of variety and challenges for even the most experienced riders. It was a close race for the top positions in the expert class. Club star Gethin Price led the charge, closely chased by David Brick, Tim Foreman and Carl Tiley. Gethin maintained his lead ahead of David Brick who finished in second place followed by Tim Foreman in third place. Sadly Carl Tiley had to retire after 7 laps. The clubman class was won by regular side car passenger and club member, Neil James, who was having a one off solo ride as part of his rigorous fitness regime. The top 5 clubmen completed a credible 9 laps. The veteran class was won by Neil Williams who revelled in the more challenging conditions. Brian Collins was second, Steve Milling third and club secretary, Nick Morgan, fourth. All 4 riders completed 9 laps and would have finished at the top of the clubman class. Not bad for old farts!! The top 4 Sportsmen completed 8 laps. Shaun Price took first place, 4 minutes ahead of Stephen Thornton who finished ahead of Shaun Buchan and Reggie Street. The club would like to thank everyone who provided help and support on the day including Forestry Commission Wales, St John’s, Marie’s caterers and especially the riders for making the event a great success. Bwlchciliau Enduro 6th November 2005Builth Wells Motor Club put on the "The Bwlchciliau Enduro" on the 6th November 2005. It was one of the wettest days of the year and torrential rain leading up to, and during the event made it very tough Enduro. Although there was only 53 starters, the course soon cut up, keeping the marshall's very busy from the start to the finish. One of the worst places of the track was the special test, which a lot of Sportsman and Clubman found very hard. Making light work of these wet conditions was championship rider Dylan Jones from Llanidloes on his Yamaha WR250F. Dylan won two out of the three special tests in the expert's class, but was beaten on the first test of the day by Ashley Wood. Dylan pulled out a fair advantage on the last two tests, and actually beat runner up Ashley Woods by nearly two minutes by the end of the day. In third in the experts was Chris Matthews from Knighton who also had a good ride. The Clubman class was won by Mark Perrot of Leominster, on his Honda CRF 250, with another Honda man Stuart James finishing in second place. Paul Knibb finished third in the Clubman. Brian Collins of Ystradgynlais won the Over 40's class. Brian had a clear win and was the only rider in the class to stay clean on the going. Runner up was Builth's club secretary Nick Morgan. The biggest entry of the day was the Sportsman class. Out of the twenty starters, only four were classed as finishers and everyone had dropped time. Eventual winner was Craig Hawkins of Cwmbran, second was Sam Wilson of Cheltenham and third Colin Newman of Llandovery.
