trialsmax04 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi all, Last summer there was a bike trial run under the West Of England Motorcycle club (WOE) banner on south Dartmoor. This trial was supposed to be a test for the organisers to see the interest in running a series around the south west. Obviously since then nothing has unfortunately come of it. Now I was at a motorcycle trial yesterday and infact was talking to the chairman of WOE Mcc (Nick Hunt), about the subject, and why nothing came of it basically. **At this point can I just say that what Im telling you is what I have been told, whether it is correct or not is another matter (Although Nick is a sound guy)** Now the chap who organised the biketrial and was potentially organising the series, (cant for the life of me remember his name, but to those of you who where there, the man doing the signing on in the back of the yellow pick-up) has now been kicked off of the committee for owing money to various people, including the club itself, for the insurance for our trial, hence why the scene has gone quiet. However, there is still hope for a series if enough interest is expressed, as the main WOE mcc members are too busy through the year with motorcycle trials (fair enough really), but there is another chap ( Again forgotten his name: Sheldon somebody) who is very keen to start up the series as his lads ride too. WOE mcc is more than happy enough to provide insurance for the series, providing everything is done properly and above bored (unlike last year). This may or may not see the entry fee rise slightly, although I personally cannot see it exceeding the £12 fee like motor trials. Who would be interested? Would like to know as many as possible so I can propose this to Sheldon, and hopefully get the ball rolling. Cheers Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Moore Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi Max I would definitely be interested and would attend for the whole series. I used to ride them four or so years ago and they used to be so much fun. Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsmax04 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes Rich! Got it. Well like I say he is pretty keen, as is Nick. Its just Nick and the other main committee members dont have the time to do so, hence why the ball is handed over to Sheridan, but perhaps a little nudge may help the ball rolling Cheers Guys.

J.KYDD Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm in. Think Joe Seddon and Matt Tupman helped organise the one last year at Botterrock Farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Moore Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) He didn't ride the comp last year, he was an observer. And I would definitely be up for the south wests if they are on. Edited June 28, 2011 by Sam Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New to trials so I don't think I'll be entering any comps for a while yet, but I'd be happy to help out if I can. 2 trail beys from Chard riding Phase frames! Imagine that.
