Badboy Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) HiThanks for the interest guys, sorry I couldnt answer the questions before the event.You would not need insurance as that is covered by the £5 fee. (As it is held at the scouts park they cover the insurance)The first event was a success. There were quite a lot of new riders there, some begginers and some that hadnt done any natural riding before.There were two main areas, the pallet area near the entrance and a natural area just a little way from that in the woods.The riders were split into groups so that each rider would get better coaching for their ability.Danny and Ash Butler were there helping out and giving advice.This event will be run every couple of weeks, so if you want to attend the next one then please contact www.thriftwood.org.uk or call 01277 212784 or 01277 210284 and get your name down!
