The Dukeries Rally has just won another accolade by being presented with the John Gott Memorial Trophy at the recent BTRDA awards luncheon. This is a special award was presented by the BTRDA Rally Committee in recognition of 50 consecutive years of the Dukeries Rally which is a remarkable achievement especially given the challenges of running a major event in the Nottinghamshire area.
The Dukeries Rally was first associated with the BTRDA Rally Championships back in 1968 and has been part of a BTRDA rally championship for most years since then.
Clerk of the Course Bob Draper and his wife Linda were invited to the luncheon and were very proud to receive the award on behalf of all the Dukeries Rally organising team.
The John Gott salver is now on display in the Trophy Cabinet alongside the Vernon North Shield which the club won recently for being the EMAMC club champions in 2009.
