 Coupe Des Dames
Gina
Mallett. Although you will not often see Gina in the list of trophy
winners, she does a lot of West Country events in her Escort and more
than occasionally returns some good results, in spite of the fact that
see is obliged to use an automatic gearbox in her car.
Rest & Be Thankful 
Jane Marfell. Jane did not do as many events as usual
in 2002, as she chose to have a baby half way through the season, but in
spite of this handicap, she continued to "drive" Adrian's
championship efforts from the back seat. Turning out whenever she could,
tolerating Adrian's long nights in the workshop every weekday. Less than
a month after giving birth, she was back in the left hand seat, which
having had that dubious pleasure myself, I can say was quite brave!!
Wait Until Next Year
David Dyer. It may seem to some that David has been
around the scene for some time, but this is just a blind caused by the
absence of events in 2001. Although a newcomer to our sport David is not
a stranger to trials having successfully misspent his youth on two
wheels. He has taken to the ex Bradshaw Cannon like a duck to water and
seems poised to take one of the major pots this year.
Tractor Tug
Colin Perryman. The Skoda crews all call him the
driveshaft king. He seems to have spent the entire year lying in mud
swapping this things. I'm sure he's driven the odd hill in between, but I've never seen him doing anything else!
Trial of the Year
Hardy. In spite of their winning "Motor Club of
the Year" in previous years, Woolbridge Motor Club's trial always seemed to be in the
doldrums. This year,
it all seemed to gel, and in spite of their claiming that nothing
significant had changed on the organising front, this year's event had
that certain something that made you think "That was a good
event". No one thing in particular, but clearly the right thought
on things like section layout, the route, and so on.
Moore
Bill Bennett. Need I
say more?
Mike Massey
Bill Bennett. Most
champions achieve that status by blinkered concentration of that goal.
Bill managed to do it all with a cheery smile, and in addition, when
asked to assist with the Association's stand at the Classic Motor Show
at the NEC in November,
he not only took over the entire organisation, but dedicated his entire
long weekend to the running of the stand and put on our best show yet.
Premier
Adrian Tucker-Peake.
With almost the entire front wheel drive class taking home the major
trophies, it was clearly a FWD year, and therefore Adrian takes the
trophy for proving that you don't have to have a Golf GTi to win
