[edit] Beginnings

I have a wealth of further information on the club, particularly on past karting and rallying events, which I am in the process of compiling and adding.

I also have a list of sources which provide interesting details, but I have not yet been able to find sufficient back-up sources and further information to merit adding them to the Wiki. These are as follows. If you are able to add to these and incorporate them into the Wiki, please do.

[edit] revision

I have removed some unencyclopedic content, such as the current officers and the hour of the weekly meetings. I've also rearranged the former trivia section into the article proper DGG (talk) 20:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
