Civil Service Motoring Association (CSMA) 4x4 Group

Up to 2005 the CSMA - its 500,000 members making it the UK's largest active motoring club - had an 4x4 group; however the 4x4 involvement waned.

Last month saw the revival of 4x4 interest within the CSMA. I went to the fact finding meeting, nodded off and exited as Chairman of the new committee!

We are holding our first event (non-competitive but with 'challenges' as we seek to cater from novices to experts) on 15th March on military land at Bordon in Hampshire - and have plans for at least a couple of other events during the year; it is early days for us. Recovery, refreshment van and first aid support are all made available.

If you are, or were, or have a friend or relative who is or was a Civil Servant (the definition is very broad thus almost anyone is eligible!), you can join the CSMA via www.csmaclub.co.uk - and follow the links to membership and membership activities.

We are near the cut-off date for Bordon; if you want to take part p/m me asap and I'll send you the entry form.

That's good news. I used to deal with the 4x4 section of CSMA quite a bit in the late 90's as they used to attend my big 4x4 & Military family shows at Weston Park, Shropshire. Good crowd.

Event duly listed on www.4x4calendar.co.uk plus I’m posting it on a few 4x4 forums if that's okay? Good luck with it.

Tom - Many thanks for the positve comments/action. Hopefully we'll see the CSMA 4x4 element grow again and you'll see them at your shows.

Best regards

never heard of them, before my time?

i shall do my homework and find out who they are:lol:

Do you come north of Watford Gap ??

Otherwise might need my pasport stamped to go south.

Kieran most things are before your time.

Kieran - Get back to your studies and therein you will learn about the mystique of the CSMA; then you'll probably wish you'd never heard of them!

Sylvia - I get nervous going north of the Watford Gap therefore....

We plan a Salisbury Plain event in June then a Sept event at an MOD site in Cambs sometime in Sept. But you are right, too much is centred in the S/SE. It is early days but we will get further North as time/interest progresses.

Best regards
