Just thought I'd bring this up here as I have never seen this happen before. The Second round of the A & B Nationals was held at Bracken Rocks under the Mansfield Maun club a couple of weeks ago. It seems that EMRA are intending to use Bracken for the fourth round in May. I haven't seen this before and wondered why it was happening??

Purely out of interest, you did ask the question earlier here. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....showtopic=24196

I am interested as to why it may be a concern? With land issues etc it must be better to have the number of rounds than not.

Not many delve into the Murk that is Youth Trials ;) And given that the feedback is that a fair number of clubs tried getting a date and were unsuccessful why visit the same venue twice??

Two different clubs both of whom have a right to hold a round but coincidentally use the same venue.

You obviously have a bee in your bonnet about it - speak to the ACU if you feel that strongly. Im sure they will give you the same answer.

I would have thought much more of an issue is the significant distance minders/catchers were supposed to do at the otter vale event this last weekend????????????///

Why use the same venue?? EMRA do not need to use Bracken Rocks and previously have successfully used other venues. Bracken is a good venue but for a national Trials series once a year is enough.

And Dabster I know exactly what you mean. Two sets of sections split by a walk of a mile or so is not fair on the minders. Otter vale do a Good trial but if the riders want to wait for their Minder the best you can do is take about 15 minutes to get between 1 and 8 and 13 and 1. Clubs have to remember that because the minder CANNOT have a bike the distance between sections has to be considered.
