THE JERSEY MOTOR CYCLE AND LIGHT CAR CLUB’S APPLICATION FOR A SHORT CAR RALLY 2008
1.0 Purpose of the Report
To obtain Ministerial Decision regarding approval of the Jersey Motor Cycle and Light Car Club’s short rally application.
2.0 Background
The Promoter (The Jersey Motor Cycle and Light Car Club) has submitted details of its proposed route stages for a short rally to take place on Saturday 12 July (see attached Schedule). The event is enabled by Order of the Transport and Technical Services Minister under Article 2 of the “Motor Vehicle Races (Jersey) Law 1946”.
The Promoter has consulted with the Connétable of St. Ouen and other stakeholders directly affected by the road closures. They have also supplied proof of Public Liability Insurance.
Discussion
The proposed ‘short rally’ (2 stages) is to replace a quarry rally which had to be cancelled earlier this year. Nevertheless should the event prove successful the Promoter intends to establish the short rally as an annual event; based on a new course each year (different to the October rally).
Recommendation
The Minister is recommended to approve the Road Racing (Motor Vehicle Rally) (Jersey) Order 2008 as prepared.
Action Required
Advise the Greffier that the Order has been made and forward the Decision Summary and Report, together with the signed and sealed Order to the Publications Editor at the States Greffe.
