Woolbridge Motorclub History
Our History
Woolbridge Motor Club is based in and around Dorset and was formed in 1960 by employees of the Atomic Energy Establishment at Winfrith, and the Army Gunnery School at Lulworth.
An ancient bridge in the village of Wool, mid-way between these two establishments, gave the club its name, and is featured in the club’s badge.
In the early years, the club promoted road rallies, then autocross, and speed hill climbs from the late 1970’s. We are now one of the largest clubs in the South of England with about 500 members.
The club currently runs around 30 events each year; two weekends of speed hillclimbing at Wiscombe Park in East Devon, seven Car Trials (attempting to drive up grass or mud slopes), two summer evening Grass Autotests (driving a set course around maker cones against the clock), and a winter programme of six evening navigational rallies, where the ability of someone on the maps outweighs other considerations.
These are a more difficult form of car trial to fully test the off-road capabilities of their vehicles. They have sections of varying difficulty to provide for everything from modified 4×4 vehicles to modern SUV types.
In addition to our own events, we provide marshals to help run other events, including some of the major historic rallies such as Le JoG and Rally of the Tests and a section of the MCC Classic ‘Exeter’ Trial each year.
There is also a social calendar, involving a number of skittles matches and quiz evenings, and the Annual Awards Presentation event in December.
A club magazine is published monthly and e-mailed or posted to members.
