British Championships. Date Dissaster

[robster]

I have just been sorting the rest of this years busy schedule out for the family.

It seems that somebody has had a horrible oversight and booked a British championship on the same day that 2 other clubs in the UK are running events.

Scunthorp a new club (I may be wrong) has an event at Walcot Hillside.

Tyketrial the most subscribed club in the UK ( I am pretty sure of this) is running it's 2 day fun trial with evening awards, (food and maybe a couple of Stella's.) For anybody who didn't come last year it was a real blast. It goes something like this..............

Sat, sort out teams with one rider from each class in it. We even got Babara on a Monty, we might even bully Brian her long suffering hubby onto a bike this year.

Get your fancy dress on if you dared.

Then go round with your team mates and ride the sections. It was a top idea that worked better than you could imagine.

Then we had awards, food, trials bike football, got the little ones off to bed, got a little bit giddy on Stella, fell into the tents, get up and do it all again but for real this time.

Anyway the point I am making is this, we can't re-arrange our event and that the British event will go ahead as planned, I only hope that Scunthorp still have enough entries to go ahead and not to many of there riders are going to the British round.

I also would like to ask this question as it will directly affect my interest (Robbie) will all of the British championships count or can we drop one. I am guessing that if we can drop one round, then this will be the round that the majority of northern based riders will choose to miss out,

1 because of the travelling distance and

2 because it clashes with such a great family orientated weekend.

I am not speaking for anybody here apart from myself, i guess i am just presuming that this is what could happen. Please advise on how many count

Finally, from somebody who helps to run trials and sets them out on Sat then rides on Sunday I hope that Scunthorp and Tykes are not hit to hard by this date fopar.

Thanks JP

When i spoke to Anthony some time ago he said 5 out of the 6 would count. i know it doesn't say anywhere on their web site at the moment, perhaps it's an oversight.

no doubt the powers that be will confirm this.

I am pretty sure you can drop a round as I missed the first British Champs round at hook woods due to riding the bike show, so thats my throw away round.

[Ali C]

I wouldnt take anything I say as official (unless we are talking about beards and cave men) but I kinda heard/ was told/ read that was the case.

[Matt_Tupman]

Yes it's five out of six to count.

Bollox i wanted to go to the funtrial , but it looks like im gonan have to miss it:(

[robster]

Only 5 count. I won't be going to it. I wouldn't miss the fun trial for all the Ambrosia in Devon.

It is a shame but that is how it goes.... so many trials so little time.....
