From Chris Mason's superb tome:
"So, in February 1923 the RAC announced, via a tactlessly high-handed missive to member clubs, that in future permits
would be needed for 'closed' events."
Then later in the same chapter he comments about the start of 1924 "Both Hall (Sutton Bank) and Paul (Angel Bank) soon opened their winning accounts...". He then adds "Over 3,000 spectators flocked to Aston Hill on 17 May for the second major climb of the year,".
So that gives us Sutton Bank, Angel Bank and Aston Hill soon to be followed by South Harting, Spread Eagle, Caerphilly and Holme Moss which were part of a 53 event hillclimb season.
