Anyone on here organised a planned drive lately?

[healeyneil]

I’m organising a planned drive for our car club. It appears that I have to apply to the MSA for a permit. Anyone else heard of this ?

To be honest we never usually bother for informal runs with friends and we are often over 12 cars.

However I do the odd touring assembly run with our local motor club where there are often 40 or so cars and they always apply for a MSA licence and provide the licence number in the invitation.

(England BTW, Police Scotland may take a harder line)

Seems like what you're planning is a 'touring assembly' for a UK Motorsport registered club, have a read here: https://www.motorsportuk.org/clubs-organisers/faq/...

Thanks, Riley Blue. I would indeed argue that what I am planning is simply a social run, which seemed to fall outside the area that MSA governs

As an organiser you are taking a risk should something happen during a run. The risk is small but it's there. I'm not certain but presume the MSA exemption indemnifies you from this.
