The Maiden City Motor Club is in the final stages of preparing for their special Stage Rally on the old Lark in the Park date, 21st April 2018. The event will take place in the MJM Shackleton Complex in Ballykelly, Co. Derry.

Beginning last year, Eakin Isuzu / Brian James Trailers has continued their sponsorship for 2018. Mr. Peter Eakin MD of Eakin Bros, and principal dealer for Isuzu / Brian James Trailers said, “We are happy to continue to assist this a local sporting event. We have a strong brand identity with Isuzu and Brian James Trailers, which fit very well into their local profile as demand for both of these quality products is strong in the North-West and indeed across Northern Ireland. We have increased our market share in a short space of time, and found this motorsport aspect has become a strong showcase for our company. I am happy to continue the association with the Maiden City Motor Club.”

MCMC Club Chairman, Mr. Gerry O’Doherty thanked Mr. Eakin of Eakin Bros., for his continued association with the Club.

Declan McCay, Clerk of the Course for the event gave details of the continued sponsorship deal, and welcomed MD of Eakin Bros., Claudy, Mr Peter Eakin to the build-up for the event.

Mr McCay said, “I would like to thank Peter Eakin and the Eakin family for their continued valued support hoped that the Eakin Isuzu, with Brian James Trailers brand success in the North-West and further afield. This is the third generation of association with Maiden City and the Eakin family, which began in the mid 1970’s when Mr. Jack Eakin of Eakin Bros. hosted and sponsored a number of Maiden City MC events from their then, new Maydown base.”

The Clerk of the Course gave further details of the event, to be held on Saturday 21st April. “Entries are still open, the event on so get them in do we can start the seeding process. In terms of the rally itself, all change! With final preparations underway, the set-up team are very busy with this new layout in the revised MJM Shackleton complex. With this completely new course, it will be challenging for all competitors, as everything has been changed from what has gone before. Although the drivers and navigators will see the few familiar landmarks, they will be in a totally new perspective. Even the start and finish location are different! Every week-end from Easter until the event on the 21st has been taken up with placing 800 cones, placing 60 bales, and setting up the 29 locations. All from a voluntary team – a big effort, and I thank their dedication.”
