laird387 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Hi,Lawrence Telling again, this time at Burrington in the 1972 A-CU Inter-centre Team Trial, photographed by Alan Vines.A confident stance by 'Sparky', leading the Wessex lads under the management of Dick Green of the Bath& West Club. (Minety Vale mud was never like this!). Finishing eighth overall, the team of Lawrence, Chris Watts, Brian Shuttleworth, Norman Colin and Peter Valentine had the satisfaction of being one place ahead of their neighbours the Western team.Enjoy.

laird387 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hi, The end of the road for Rob Edwards on this particular hazard at Burrington, but with just a little more luck Rob led and managed the East Yorkshire Centre team with Jack Galloway, Mick Dennis, Brian Hutchinson and C Worley who were fifth best finishers, in the 1972 A-CU Inter=centre Team Trial at Burrington. Photographed by Alan Vines - enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Hi, In the 1972 A-CU Inter-centre Team trial, still wearing his familiar black and white woolly hat Gordon Farley lost just 40 marks to lead home the fourth placed South Eastern Centre team, joined by Derek Adsett, Richard Whitebread, Alan Ketley and Ken Brooker. The team manager was C G Edwards. Interestingly, a mere handful of miles from Burrington in 1998 in the area around Ludlow, with the help of old friends of the South Birmingham club, we organised a Pre-65 Inter-centre Team trial for teams of riders with eligible machines in the nine classes of my British Bike championship - great fun was had by all! Incidentally, in a recent post somebody asked about Bob Light - well, that's Bob watching in the background of this Alan Vines photograph. Enjoy.

laird387 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Hi tirmark, Sorry - I'm afraid that I was one of the old fuddy-duddies who refused to give in to the second (successful) Spanish Armada - so the nearest I came was a special sidecar outfit with a works Ossa motor - so my recognition skills of the other makes is not good! However, I have acted on your correction. Cheers Deryk Edited March 16, 2014 by laird387 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Hi, Another old colleague now sadly missed, Jim Sandiford with his Montesa Cota 247 in the 1973 Ilkley Grand National.

laird387 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi, Another image from the 'lost' pile so I can't tell you where and when - but a likely guess for John Reynolds in his days on the Montesa could be the Ilkley New Year trial, which did have some snowy years? Photo: Barry Robinson Enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laird387 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Hi, This is another of the negatives that has become separated from its identity, so we can tell you that it is obviously Malcolm Rathmell and he is on his way to the runner-up spot in the Alan Trophy on his 349 Sandiford Montesa - but we are not sure about the year - possibly 1979? Over to you armchair sleuths - please help put the records straight. Enjoy. Edited March 28, 2014 by laird387 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks2 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi, This is another of the negatives that has become separated from its identity, so we can tell you that it is obviously Malcolm Rathmell and he is on his way to the runner-up spot in the Northern Experts on his 349 Sandiford Montesa - but we are not sure about the year - possibly 1979? Over to you armchair sleuths - please help put the records straight. Enjoy. Deryk I don't think it's the Northern Experts. The bib has CCMCC printed on it and it looks like the northern fells. Perhaps the Alan Trophy Trial again? Regards Sparks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi sparks, Yes, of course, Alan trophy it is. Deryk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlrmark Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Not sure of the rider, but that's another Bultaco Sherpa T, Derek. Theyre everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Hi tirmark, Thanks for that, Terry is now in the Bultaco section where he belongs. I'm afraid my interest in modern trials was transferred to creating the pre-65 scene in 1972, and I'm afraid it will always show in slips like that - happily easily corrected with your help.
