Wexford Motor Club Statement
Rally Report 12
Thursday, September 13 2001
Issued by Caroline Reynolds, Ogilvy Communications
At a meeting of members of Wexford Motor Club last night (Wed 12th), the decision to postpone the Wexford Stages Rally by the sports governing body. Motorsport Ireland, was discussed. The event was postponed as a result of the re-emergence of Foot and Mouth disease in the UK. The overwhelming view of those present at the meeting was one of tremendous disappointment. Nonetheless, it was accepted that the decision of Motorsport Ireland must be respected by all who had the long term future of the sport at heart. The Wexford Motor Club will also be considerably out of pocket as a result of the postponement and a number of local competitors have offered to donate part, or all, of their entry fees in order to assist the club. Naturally, the club are greatly relieved and appreciative of this response by club members and look forward to rescheduling the event, or an event of a similar nature, in the near future.
