Final Rounds of the 2026 British championship this weekend 17th/18th October take place in Derbyshire with special thanks to Thomas and friends of the Derbyshire Trials Club.
After the poor turn out in July its encouraging to see numbers up for these rounds for all championship contenders and it is believed we will be joined by a healthy number of home club members to enjoy the weekends action
With 40 points up for grabs no outright champions can be declared in any class with the exception of George Lulham/Ronnie Mayo, who have amassed enough points in the newcomers class to not be caught, and alongside father Darren have made the jump to the ihtermediate class for the remaining rounds. Congratulations to the popular west country duo.
Thomas and his hard working team have provided us with two separate days of trials riding over the Derbyshire gritstone not seen since the demise of the Doncaster cup of yesteryear, starting with Thomas`s ground at Burycliffe and then moving to Dudwood Farm on Sunday
Overnight camping is available on Friday night at Burycliffe and again at Dudwood on Saturday. Toilets will be available at the venues.
Due to the limited numbers caterers will not be in attendance but I believe Hot food and beverages will be available prior to the start each day
Kailee has once again sorted out the entries for which we are extremely grateful
