Does anyone know when the national dates for 2012 will be available?

There is normally a list on the ACU website, but I've not seen it yet.

Many thanks

There has been a few drafts about but they all seem to have disappeared! Might have to see how the rule changes affect the calendar. Some clubs may wish to see who declares to ride BTC first.

Thanks Telecat.

Not really interested in the BTC trials. Was interested in the Tradional Series and other clubman standard nationals like the Dave Rowlands, Lakes 2 Day, etc.

Spliting up Boootle/Lancs seems strange. Did hear Westmoorland where going to tie in to Lancs weekend but this must be non champ or gone by the way side.
Long way to go twice

Thanks 5again, having something to plan around is good.

I agree Jimmy. It cost us nearly £250 to do Lancs County and Bootle, and a similar amount to do Westmorland. With the double header it is almost like getting a BOGOF deal. Having Bootle, Northallerton and Lanc County it’ll be getting close to a grand to do these rounds with increased fuel costs this year. I’m sure that the lads ‘up-north’ say the same about Torridge, West of England and Ottervale though.

Nice to have the Devon double header back on with West of England and Otter vale. Almost a local trial for me from Wales!!!!

Yes good news about Devon double header, but strange NW double header out (almost an institution) - though hopefully Caton moor bit easier in the summer. And no Bemrose or Westmoreland, the former most enjoyable of the year personally (though appreciate there were probs, hopefully one off) and Westmoreland seemed well received too.
