Our BRISTOL MOTOR SPORT
video tells the story of what has happened to
club motor sport in the Bristol area over the last 70 years. It was made by 1st Take Video of Yate, using our archive films which the
club
has collected over the years. These are interspersed with modern
video shots, at the actual locations, to show how times and venues have changed.
It has been made in close collaboration with the
club, and features long-standing members Phil Rumney and Chris Bigwood, who between
them have considerable experience of active participation in club
motorsport over many years. They were present at several of the events
featured in the archive, and their comments add a lively personal touch to
the film.
The makers are a small group of
enthusiasts with a passion for Bristol and its surrounding area. Available in
both DVD and VHS format, price £13.95 (discount for Bristol MC members). More details from their website
