Those of you that are TVRCC members and like a daft excuse for a drive out - please contact your regional organisers and join in the TVR Blackpool rock relay. It would be great to see lots of S's doing this.

The Baton is going to start in Blackpool and end at Rockingham for the DTEC race on 19th August where a racing driver will be the final baton holder and take the rock on a trip around the race track where the rock baton will be 'competing' in it's own Olympic race

The route order has been decided based on positive emails from the regions listed, but you may have to be creative with your routes, regional members and neighbours to cover any larger gaps in the map:

RO's will have access to details of how it works - Regions will need to work with each other to organise routes and handover points. It should be possible to cover a few regions each weekend, and if you are able to handle it, maybe the odd hand over during the week.

You all know the roads in your regions better than me, so I'll leave it to you.

What would make this extra special is to try and re-create the Olympic Torch relay where we have photo stops and handover points. You might even be able to include a celebrity.

let's have some Olympic fun!

so it left home...............perhaps people could post where it is, then we will be ready for it!

excellent - we still dont know when we will get it in Suffolk and Norfolk..........

best bet is to contact TVRCC Regional Organiser- but mine doesnt know our bit yet!
