Brief notes taken from minutes of the meeting (WWW.bradfordtrials.co.uk)

Riders Views:

Sections need to be more consistent.
It was felt that at some rounds there were some riders taking part who are not up to the level required to contest a British Championship, at Expert level and these riders tended to ride together and numerous failures tended to cause a delay for other riders.

In some rounds queuing had been a problem and Championship riders found themselves held up by earlier Experts.

Importers Views:

Generally happy with the ways things went.
Concerns about the Lightweight round if the weather had not been fine.
