I wonder if anyone can help me with some information.
I am writing an article for the owners club magazine for a Pre'65 trials bike I inherited from my late father. I remember he took it to an off-road show at Alton Towers in the early 1980's and I think won the concours award for pre-65 trials bikes. I am interested if anyone can confirm the year, the show must have been before May 1985 because I rode it in the Pre'65 Scottish, after which it was no longer concours condition. Thanks in advance.

Latest information it could have been at Trentham Gardens.

A small clue as to what the bike is might help people to assist with which year it was? The Trentham Gardens show ran for a number of years.

I thought the concours competition only ran for one year but the bike was a Douglas Comp, so quite unusual.
