The outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease early in 2001 led to significant changes in the UK's Motor Sport Calendar. The Gurston Down Hillclimb venue is located on Gurston Farm, and during March and April of 2001, the Gurston Committee had to carefully consider whether any of the Gurston events could safely take place without putting in jeopardy the efforts of both Central Government and Regional Authorities in controlling and eliminating this most pernicious disease. After discussions with the landlord and other interested parties, the Committee decided that it would be inappropriate to conduct events in March, April and early May, and therefore cancelled several early meetings. Foot and Mouth Disease in our area is now considered to be under control.
