Dungannon Motor Club got 2016 off to a flying start with an Open Night at the Dungannon Rugby Club on Wednesday 3rd February.  As well as the regular active Club Members, there were plenty of new faces making an appearance to see what the Club is all about.

There were Club competition cars on display outside, and stations set up inside the hall to let folks see what the various branches of Club motorsport are all about.  Of particular interest were the stands on navigation rallying.  As a pre-cursor to the now-famous DMC Rally Navigation Classes, this is perhaps understandable, and several new prospective members got a taste of what they will be learning at the classes.

Videos were also showing at the Autotest and Targa Rally stations.

A great start, and now the first night of the navigation classes on Wednesday 10th February.  Don’t miss them if you want to give “Night Nav.” a go.  Dungannon Rugby Club, 7:30pm.
