Adult Cheshire Championship

[macctrials]

With just two rounds to go, ours on the 22nd October and the Man17 round before that on the 24th September,what the rider opion of the championship.

Only been to one round this year and that was Ok but nothing special , the next two are both road trails should they all be on the road our all private ground trials can it work with a mix.Personnely i think it works fairly well but more interest needs to be generated if it to continue in this format.

7EHThaving riden the cheshire championship a coupleof years ago the best trials were the road trials i know not everyone has a licence or road tax? but that is my opinion .one question i have is what do we get for are money off the acu we all pay into it as trials riders and i cant remember the last time there was a claim off a trials rider so is are money there to keep the fat cats in a job cos when the inter centre trial comes along try getting a decent amount of money off them to send the lads to reprecent us ha ha ha imagine if all the clubs in the centre ran as indipendents more money for each club which would enable the clubs to buy land thus securing the future of the sport from the dreded ramblers !!! and narrow minded people who think all bikes sound like a wasp through an amplifire just think about it hmmmmm

Your entry fee would have to at least double to do what you want. Most clubs struggle to balance the books on a trial. A total of £4.15 of each entry goes on insurance, the rest goes to pay the landowner and prizes at the end of the year. As for fat cats the Cheshire Centre which sends teams to the Inter Centre team trial only get £30 per trial for the permit and a 3% discount on the insurance. Usually a total of about £80 a month. If you can get fat on that please let me know. You have a choice, have a great cheap day out or start paying real money.

having been to a british championship round of the superbikes at donington some time ago there were 2 acu officials there in the new gas gusselers cars both with private plates related tthe acu whos paying for all that then and as for costs to run a trial other clubs run very well without the acu along with enduro club who also run without the acu how do the peak youth trials do it then along with other clubs around the country if there is no sutch thing as fat cats how is it that a few years ago the acu decided that the offices at rugby were not sutable so out they went and hey new premeses who payed for that

I rode all but one of the Cheshire Champs last year in an attempt to win some silverware. When i entered the first round at Wern Du i was aware that there would be some road trials. However, what i was not ready for was the major "a" roads that were used.
It was quite bum twitching not having tax, insurance, etc, and an HGV up your arse.
I am sure that if the championship was all off road the entries on what is an excellent championship would increase.

Cheers,
Stewart

what about the youth results does any body care about them ?

[macctrials]

Yep
I am quite happy to keep a track of the points, but to do that I need the results, and it would be nice to be asked as well.I will have a look to see how many results theres are on the centre site ;D

I do know the clubs running the trial were asked to nominate some one to do the toting up but, no volunteers.

[wil]

How about the youth standings!

[macctrials]

Just put a updated league on the www.cnwtrials.org.uk website both youth and adult, when I get the results I will update them asap.

There is no doubt that the best events use the roads, you get to use just the very best of what is available. You get to have a 'guided' (if the route marking is any good) toure of the area often with spectacular views and wonderful little out of the way spots that you'd never see except for the trial your in. No queues. A full day out instead of a couple of hours riding round someone's garden. Lets face it any championship worth its salt (or winning even?) has to be the made of the very best that available - events, course, sections, riders organisers, officials, observers. If Cheshire & North Wales Centre wants a championship worth not only winning but just taking part in for its quality then its got to offer quality in every round. I have announce an interest as President of M17 but in my mind there is no doubt that the likes of our Fisher and Hipwell trails and the wonderful John McDonnald from Macclesfield Trial Club are the way to improve our sport and Cheshire's Championship at the same time.

Road trials are undoubtedly a great day out and a proper trial, the recent Hipwell trial was superb with a good choice of natural sections that you rarely get with single venue events. The forthcoming John MacDonald is the same, no unneccessary markers where you have to hop and jump, just good natural flowing sections which need few markers.
However, comments such as those is an earlier post in this topic concern me, to have your 'bum twitching' because an HGV is up your arse when you have no road tax or insurance, and in some cases not even a current licence, is simply playing into the hands of those who want to stop all forms off off-road motorcycle sport. Trials clubs now have to notify the local Constabulary of a forthcoming event and certain time limits apply, by the nature of the sport and the locations we ride in, trials riders often encounter ramblers and horse riders. Can you imagine the furor that would follow if an uninsured, none-licence holding trials rider startled a horse on a road causing the rider to fall only to be hit by the trials rider and injured? The event could be stopped, the rider and club officials could face a court case (don't be fooled by the disclaimer we sign) and any future planned events could be seriously jeopardised or stopped. The Police and local Authorities have the power to stop any event in the interest of safety and more recently in relation to any environmental issues. We have got to be seen to be in the right and accountable.
Or we might as well take up another hobby.

As a new comer do I correctly understand then that a bike with no MOT no TAX no Insurance and Unregistered with a rider without a bike licence is allowed between sections to ride the bike on the road provided the club has notified the relevant authorities ??
