Regulations will be published and entries opened for the East Anglian Classic over the Easter weekend of 19^th -21^st April 2025.

This year the EAC will run in a new format as a two-day event, starting late Saturday afternoon for a first leg consisting of three road regularities, an off-road regularity and a couple of tests before returning to the Dragonfly Hotel in Bury St Edmunds for a well-earned supper and social evening.

Re-starting after breakfast on Sunday morning we will have another five regularities and six tests at venues that proved popular last year, finishing early afternoon back at the Dragonfly for a buffet awards lunch.

This format means that competitors travelling from far afield can leave home on Saturday morning and be back by Sunday evening, keeping the whole event within the weekend and avoiding Friday traffic.

We will also be organising the East Anglian Classic Run, as in previous years, using the same route and tests but providing marked maps and requiring only the RS Clubmans licence. An innovation for this year is the East Anglian Classic Challenge, consisting of the Saturday leg of the Run only.

Navigation for the main event will be largely pre-plot using straightforward methods, but there will as usual be an element of plot’n’bash.

All this for an entry fee of £225 including a £15 donation to he East Anglian Air Ambulance. Entries open on Easter Monday online at chelmsfordmc.co.uk
