As always, everyone is welcome. We are likely to have a short update on the upcoming rally now scheduled for October. Also, some plans regarding making the Bush Khanacross area a little more weather proof. There are still plenty of roles available, both regarding the Rally and also for the club in general for anyone who wishes to contribute some time. Just as a one off or a regular thing.
Come along to the Coffs Hotel and have your say!
We are always looking for people to assist in the running of the club and events so let others know!
Meetings are held every third Wednesday of the month.
In the “Back” room, starts at 7:30pm
Upcoming events:
Bonville Service Station and LPO Bush Khanacross 8th June (Round 2).
For those who are unfamiliar, its a khanacross event with the additional challenge of the course following forestry style tracks within the Raleigh Motorsport Complex.
A great progression from a series Khanacross on your way to a Rally Sprint or Autocross and beyond.

Apart from the Supp Regs please either send or bring the forms along. You can take a photo, screenshot, print and scan to send them, whatever works for you.
If the above is too difficult, bring them along or come along on the day and we can assist with filling them out on the morning of the event. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or difficulties.
Just to recap you can still enter on the morning of the event, however it can make it challenging to start on time if we have more than expected numbers.

Well its been a roller coaster ride lately! After such success in the face of threatening weather for the Motor Festival to the devastating need to postpone the rally as a direct result of said weather, noone can say motorsports doesn’t keep you on the edge of your seat. Be it your home office chair or your race seat!
They say the best way to pick yourself back up after a fall is to get straight back onto the metaphorical horse so….
Either one should be updated regarding events and breaking news. Remember if your subscribe to the newsletters on the club website you will never miss an update (like this one).
A reminder there is now an informal group for members and club supporters with comments, general chit chat and photos. Find it here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15c5c8xx6v/
We have a general meeting on Wednesday the 21st May then, our next event is the Bonville Servo & Post Office “Bush” Khanacross on the 8th of June: https://www.facebook.com/share/15MyosmbG5/
And finally, don’t despair, remember the Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally hasn’t been cancelled, just postponed so lets pull together and use the time to deliver an even better competitor experience that will ensure the success of the Rally (and the club) for years to come.

Thanks all for your support, hope to see you all soon!
I am sorry to inform everyone that the Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally for 2025 has had to be postponed till October.
As you can imagine these decisions are never simple or easy and with a great many stakeholders holders involved, the decision needs to be made decisively and early.
The recent heavy rain has caused damage to competitive areas which are unable to be repaired before the event. Repairs, even if they were possible to carry out before Saturday, would not be firm enough to make for a consistent competitive surface.
We understand the disappointment. We acknowledge everyone’s efforts and commitment; to get vehicles and crews prepared, prepare the rally route and equipment and create procedures and documents to ensure the event would run.
Keep in mind that this is not a cancellation and part of this decision is to ensure the organisors can deliver the best event possible to competitors and the community.
I hope you can all accept this challenging situation and we can use it to our advantage in delivering the event in October.
It’s almost here! The 2025 Quality Accounting Coffs Coast Rally. This time round, based in Woolgoolga_nsw home of the best beach in mainland Australia.
Its the last meeting before the running of the rally. We are looking for more volunteers and anyone who has some time to assist is welcomed and encouraged to attend.

Bring equipment and any supplies for the day.
Tasks required are fallen timber clearing, lantana clearing and minor road work such as draining puddles and rut filling.
If you have a brush cutter, shovel, mattock, brushhook etc bring it. I will be driving out there with a caged trailer if you prefer to put your tools in there rather than risk the interior of your car or ute tray. It may be muddy.

Re-ignite the passion for a half finished project, keep the kids amused, explain to the public what you love about your car, escape the house work, promote yourself or your related business or simply come along and let people know, what attracts you about car culture and why they should join their local club.
Get a warm fuzzy feeling too knowing that any volunteered donations will go to a worthy cause and benefit the greater community.
