Springhill Car Club

Does anybody remember this club, they had a wood prefab type hut on or near Wordsworth Road Fern Gore, I wasn't a member but my mate was, they took part in the local Rally driving circuit and organised their own rally each year. these rallies were a regular thing in the 60s and 70s and usually took place through the night, never entered but manned a few check points over places like blubber houses. Great sight a Mini Cooper flying at you with heads and spots on at full, screeching to a halt getting their time clock stamped then off again with spinning wheels. Can't remember many who were involved but John Idone was one name and there was a chap who ran a bakers shop in Ossy, his name was Malcolm can't think of his second name. Another Rally club going around that time was Mullards 2000, who actually staged a leg of the British Rally championships
