Hi laud, we just wanted something cheap and cheerful for the locals at the time you needed a £50 licence before you could even turn up at any trial in Scotland which was a massive barrier to new folk.

Once we got a bit land (Which we do contribute towards) the AMCA were contacted and things sorted out the rest is history.

THere's a good bit work though to start with and you do kind of have to know what you're doing with layout.

I agree the central area is crying out for a decent beginners club but it hasn't happened just need some to see the light.

Just for the record the Montrose club was the first AMCA trials club up here it wasn't our idea.

Also getting land is much harder than you might think.

If I had time and a bit money I would try to get one going sadly I don't.

Maybe there's someone out there that's keen .

Anyway thanks for asking.

why is getting land to use so hard ? and thanks for the response bud

are you from the falkirk area ?

Folk just don't want bikes on there land , they're noisy do a bit of damage livestock issues and there 's nothing in it for the farmer.

Also you need land with parking and it has to be away from houses as well as insurance implications.

Of our locations 2 belong to club members our main one we put parking in ourself and spent a load of money getting it suitable and we still rely on the landowner who could back out anytime.

It's not easy, I'm live in North East Fife.
